Scott Accuses Biden Of Enabling Fentanyl Smuggling After Voting Against Two Anti-Fentanyl Smuggling Bills

Florida Politics reports:

U.S. Sen. Rick Scott lamented at a law enforcement roundtable that Senate Democrats won’t support intercepting fentanyl at the border. But the Naples Republican voted against doing so twice. Scott told WESH that the problems with the fentanyl crisis start at better patrolling the border. Scott traced a rush in drugs crossing the border to after Biden took office.

Democrats pounced and said Scott has also voted against bills that included better border patrol of drug trafficking. That included voting against a bipartisan border package that initially failed on a 50-49 vote, and which included The FEND Off Fentanyl Act. The measure later passed on a bipartisan 79-18 vote, but Scott still voted against it.
