“They censor us, but it doesn’t change the truth,” he said before telling a whopper of a lie about his mama in a new ad. "Joe Biden’s open border is killing Ohioans, with more illegal drugs and more Democrat voters pouring into this country.

“This issue is personal,” he added. “I nearly lost my mother to the poison coming across our border. No child should grow up an orphan. I’m J.D. Vance, and I approve this message because whatever they call us, we will put America first.”

The only problem here is that he lied. As a nurse, JD Vance’s mother stole prescribed medications from her patients, and that was not because of undocumented immigrants. Vance got the community note routine on Xitter.

    I’m sorry, I don’t see opiates mentioned. Also, DEA is a questionable source at best. Their job is to create the war on drugs, not end it

      This is Biden’s DEA and if you check the pdf, you’ll see that they’re talking specifically about fentanyl.
