Leavitt Slams WaPo Wondering Why There Is a Decrease of Fentanyl Coming into the U.S.: ‘There Is No Mistery’
EXCERPT:
LEAVITT: “’The Washington Post' just ran one of the most ridiculous headlines ever, even by their standards. And on my very first briefing several months ago, I said I would hold anyone accountable in this room. 'The Washington Post' actually had this headline, 'The mysterious drop in fentanyl seizures on the U.S.-Mexico border.' How is this mysterious? There is no mystery about why there is a decrease in fentanyl coming into the United States. This administration's strong border policies are the reason there has been a decrease in fentanyl trafficking, his strengthened relationship with Mexican President Sheinbaum, and all of the measures he has been taking to deter illegal human and drug trafficking at our United States southern border is the reason for plummeting fentanyl seizures at the U.S. border. There is nothing mysterious about that, and we'd like to see 'The Washington Post' update their headline accordingly.”
