Mexican President Denies Fentanyl is Made in Mexico... Seriously.

The Battle Over Mexico's Drug Cartels

Mexican President Swears to Launch Information Campaign Against Republicans

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador made a bold announcement on Thursday, revealing his plan to launch an "information campaign" aimed at dissuading Mexicans and Hispanics residing in the United States from voting for Republican candidates in future elections

AMLO, at a news conference, announced he would tell Mexicans living in the US to not vote for republicans and denied fentanyl is being produced in Mexico.

The reason behind Lopez Obrador's statement was a response to Republican lawmakers calling for a crackdown on the cartel and fentanyl smuggling over the southern border. However, Lopez Obrador claims that the lethal drug is not manufactured in Mexico, and he is frustrated by the Republicans lack of action to address their social decay problem.

CALLS FOR MILITARY ACTION AGAINST THE CARTELS GROWS

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has called for a military approach to destroy the drug networks by unleashing the "fury and might" of the United States. He proposed bipartisan legislation that would designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

Another Republican Representative, Dan Crenshaw, voiced his concerns and called for the use of military force against the Mexican drug cartels following the recent deaths of two Americans. Crenshaw urged Lopez Obrador to listen and help the United States in their fight against the drug cartels.

US Attorney General Merrick Garland affirmed that the cartels are deliberately unleashing fentanyl in America, and while the Mexican government is providing assistance, they could do much more.

MEXICAN PRESIDENT DECLARES WAR ON REPUBLICANS

In response, Lopez Obrador stated that he will commence an information campaign aimed at Mexicans who reside and work in the United States and all Hispanics. The campaign will inform them of Mexico's efforts against the drug cartels and how the Republicans' initiative is not only irresponsible but also an insult to the people of Mexico and a lack of respect for their independence and sovereignty.

Lopez Obrador added, "If they do not change their attitude and think that they can exploit Mexico for their propaganda, electoral, and political interests, we will urge them not to vote for that party, as it is interventionist, inhumane, hypocritical, and corrupt." He insisted that the government's information campaign would lead to Republican candidates receiving "not one vote" from Mexicans and Hispanics.

According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, the majority of the fentanyl trafficked by the Sinaloa and CJNG Cartels is being mass-produced at clandestine factories in Mexico, with chemicals primarily sourced from China.

Analysis

AMLO’s statement that fentanyl isn’t being produced in Mexico is obviously false. We prove that everyday when hard working narcotics detectives follow load cars from Mexico through the US. There is also ample evidence that has shown AMLO has worked with cartels prior to being elected. With so much violence spilling over the border, expect the calls for military action to grow.
