Herschel Walker: Criticizes Biden Administration over false crack pipe policy

[TeamHerschel.com press release 2/9/22] "I am deeply disturbed by the news that the Biden Administration is using taxpayer funds to distribute free crack pipes," Herschel said. "To make things worse, they are doing this in the name of 'racial equity'-- and Senator Raphael Warnock has stood by this Administration every step of the way. There is nothing compassionate about enabling people to continue using dangerous and lethal drugs. Instead, we should focus on helping people get treatment and move beyond addiction."

[FactCheck by CNN, 2/17/22]: An article claiming that the Biden administration planned to give away crack pipes to drug addicts went viral, eliciting outrage on the right. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and Dr. Rahul Gupta, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, issued a statement clarifying that "no federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees to put pipes in safe smoking kits."
