It's three days after Halloween.

Fox News and the Republican party told us that rainbow fentanyl pills were bringing Armageddon to our children on October 31st.

Rona McDaniel said so.

"We're coming into Halloween. Every mom in this country right now is worried, what if this gets into my kid's Halloween basket?" McDaniel exclaimed.

Minority leader Kevin McCarthy said, "We will secure our borders so your kids won't have to fear whether they're buying fentanyl and are gonna OD," he said.

Fox News viewers said it was true also.

The Good Liars’ Davram Stiefler repeatedly pointed out the unlikelihood of drug dealers giving away their fentanyl merchandise. “So, the drug dealers have houses that the kids will come and knock on the door on and then they’ll give that to them?” he asked.

“So, the ‘illegals’ have houses that then the kids are coming to knock on the ‘illegals’ houses’ doors and they’re drug dealers that are giving the children their drugs,” Stiefler prodded.


“Look at Fox News!” MAGA Lady said. “All you gotta do is watch an episode of Fox News. … It’s coming across our borders, it’s going into our playgrounds.”


“And they’re going to be giving it away during Halloween,” Stiefler continued.

On November 1st, what happened?

Where was Fox News' breathless coverage of all the overdoses that occurred throughout the country because illegals sent over by the Mexican cartels, being aided by Biden, were coming into the country to poison our kids and vote Democrat?

The horror!

The pain!

The suffering children!

Oh, wait.

Nothing happened.

No deaths

No overdoses

No rainbow pills being handed out to school children.

This is what happened.

No children died from getting Fentanyl pills in their Halloween baskets.

Any normal human being realized that would be the case.

One day turned into a month of fearmongering.

The credible media lapped it up too.

They swallow Republican lies by the boatload and spew it out.

What a tragedy that that US democracy hangs in the balance.
