Kiggans Misses Another Opportunity to Defend our Constitution
Jen Kiggans once again missed an opportunity to stand up for our Constitution and the rule of law. Instead, she responded automatically with a dishonest defense in support of Trump's law-breaking.
Ignoring the fact that Venezuela, despite its corruption and illegal activities, is not a major source of illegal drugs in the United States, Kiggans said, "for too long, Americans have suffered the consequences of poisonous drugs funneled into our country by this illegal regime, and this operation marks a concrete step toward putting an end to that threat"
We have no love for Maduro, but you don't have to seek Democratic sources to find the truth about the Venezuelan drug trade The libertarian think-tank Cato Institute, in an article that also points out Trump's absurdly dishonest statistics, says, "Venezuela likely has nothing to do with smuggling fentanyl into the US." That assessment is echoed by sources all across the political spectrum.
NPR has a partial list of elected officials including Republicans, bravely speaking out against, or at least questioning, Trump's illegal invasion. Jen Kiggans will not be joining them
