WASHINGTON – On Saturday, Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) joined Fox News @ night to discuss the cataclysmic impacts of fentanyl abuse in the United States.
Rep. Gooden highlighted the complicity of foreign governments, namely China, in providing fentanyl to Mexican cartels.
In 2021, Texas authorities seized enough fentanyl to kill 200 million people. Overdose deaths remain a leading cause of injury-related fatalities in the United States, with fentanyl-related deaths being the primary cause among adults aged 19 to 45.
Fentanyl has caused approximately two-thirds of over 107,000 fatal overdoses in the United States. Last year, Congressman Gooden sent a letter to President Biden requesting his administration designate fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.
