Top senator assails Biden for letting heroin users off easy while turning smokers into criminals
Sen. Tom Cotton blasts Biden admin for targeting smokers, gun owners more than hard drug users
The Biden administration's criminal justice policies are riddled with contradictions and misplaced priorities allowing convicts and hard drug users to avoid punishment while simultaneously imposing measures that would turn many law-abiding Americans into criminals, according to a prominent U.S. senator.
"This administration would make criminals of law-abiding citizens while granting actual felons early release and encouraging illicit drug use," Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., told Fox News Digital. "No wonder Americans have lost faith in an administration that's less interested in public safety than targeting political enemies."
Cotton called out the administration for pursuing criminal justice policies that on one hand appear to take a softer approach to illegal drug offenders but on the other hand cracks down on pistol owners and cigarette smokers.

Putting on my @Copper hat.
Heroin users generally die young and therefore dont use much of society resources. So, President Biden is looking the right direction.

Treating drug addicts as criminals has historically worked so well.

I was talking about the bad drug addicts, not the good drug addicts. Of course we all embrace drug addicts who are productive members of society.
