"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.
"The HUNTER Act is a means of encapsulating how ridiculous public policy can become when it's in the hands of the woke," Bishop said.
"They were never a part of the kit; it was inaccurate reporting," Psaki said of the crack pipes. "And we wanted to put out information to make that clear."
She said safe smoking kits may include "alcohol swabs, lip balm, other materials to promote hygiene and reduce the transmission of diseases like HIV and hepatitis."
Meanwhile, the Biden administration is catching heat from the left for saying it won't fund crack pipes in the kits.
The liberal nonprofit group Drug Policy Alliance said the decision
"to remove pipes from safe smoking equipment is deeply disappointing. This is a missed opportunity to be preventative of more deaths due to overdose."
