Dan Crenshaw Calls for Military Force Against Cartels: ‘These People Are a Lot More Like ISIS than They Are the Mafia’

EXCERPT:

CRENSHAW: “Well, look, we recently introduced AUMF, an Authorized Use of Military Force against the cartels and any other organizations that traffic fentanyl specifically. So why now and why not years ago? These Mexican drug cartels have been around for awhile. The difference now is fentanyl. This is not a drug problem, this is not a war on drug problem. This is a poisoning problem. And they are killing about 80,000 Americans a year. And the Mexican government does very little to thwart this. And I think there should be bipartisan efforts in Congress to pass an Authorized Use of Military Force to deal with them. If anything, that simply gives our president more leverage when trying to get the Mexican government to do its job, its job on thwarting immigration, which the cartels also control, and thwarting fentanyl coming north across our border and killing American citizens. These people are a lot more like ISIS than they are the mafia.”
