Tucker Carlson is no fan of President Joe Biden, but on Monday’s episode of his Fox News show, he was especially cross with the 46th president, falsely accusing Biden’s administration of purposefully allowing opioid addicts to die in order to benefit his electoral hopes.
“Now, Joe Biden is giving out free crack pipes to Black people,” Carlson began, misconstruing articles by several right-wing publications over the weekend that blatantly misrepresented a Biden administration to mitigate the drug epidemic nationwide.
After noting that more than 100,000 Americans died of opioid addiction last year, Carlson went on to suggest that Biden actually welcomed those deaths since many opioid addicts are white.
