Third GOP presidential primary debate: on Crime


Ron DeSantis: We're going to shoot drug smugglers stone cold dead

Gov. Ron DeSantis: We are going to designate the cartels to be foreign terrorist organizations or something similar to that and we're going to authorize the use of deadly force. We're going to have maritime operations to interdict precursor chemicals going into Mexico. But I'll tell you this, if someone in the drug cartels is sneaking fentanyl across the border when I'm president, that's going to be the last thing they do. We're going to shoot them stone cold dead.
