A pair of Republican lawmakers authored new legislation to ban federal taxpayer dollars from funding crack pipes, needles and other drug paraphernalia, following a firestorm over a viral report that alleged the Biden administration would be funding crack pipes for addicts.
Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Dan Bishop of North Carolina said in an exclusive joint interview with Fox News Digital that the Biden administration got caught "red-handed" trying to fund crack pipes as part of a $30 million grant program and that legislation is needed to stop the "ridiculous" proposal. The White House has denied the grant would fund crack pipes.
"Congressman Bishop and I are standing up and saying, heck no," Boebert said. "Our tax dollars should not be funding the death and destruction of crack addicts. Democrats are always putting the American taxpayer last and Republicans just want to give people in need a good job. Democrats want to give them crack pipes."
They've introduced the Halting the Use of Narcotics Through Effective Recovery Act this week, dubbing the bill the HUNTER Act, in reference to President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, who has openly struggled with drug addiction.
"I like the HUNTER Act," Boebert said in an interview, "because it was a better acronym than Stop Paying to Subsidize Biden's Son’s Drug Addiction act. That didn't really flow. I think tax dollars have been on the hook for Hunter’s addictions long enough."

This isn’t the Babylon Bee?
Good! Panzy azz republicans should have been doing stuff like this decades ago. I guess they feel more free to do stuff like this because no one believes our Pravda media any longer.
The fact that legislation is needed to stop this shows how far we have fallen.
We love our Congress Critter Lauren Boebert!
I was sure this was a Bee article. We really are in Bizarro World.
Gotta love that they named it “Hunter.”
Damn!!!
I was looking forward to going into town to grab my very own crack kit
Now this is funny :-)
Right? The repukes are reacting but they’re not being proactive whatsoever. Has anyone heard anything from the right about the Covid lies and the 2+ years the world has had to deal with the craziness? Nope. Almost like it never even happened… this can not stand. Every government worldwide needs to be held accountable for this farce. They know it was a lie from the beginning, we know it was a lie from the beginning, they know we know it was a lie from the beginning but nobody on the right is addressing it. It destroyed lives, livelihoods, businesses, economies, jobs and the mental health of the sheep who are true believers. Our children are suffering tremendously Lots and lots of children.
Hanging is too good for these “government” assholes. Big Pharma also needs to hang. We. Will. Never. Forget. I will give no quarter nor a pass for those people who got sucked in by trusting the government
Where are the State AG’s announcing that they will Criminally Charge every Federal Employee that takes part in this for any and all Injuries or Deaths as well as Distribution of Drug Paraphernalia??
