A horrifying example of politicians telling people what they want to hear (won’t prosecute drug use) and then playing ostrich (“would have had hearings if I knew we were an outlier”) when it goes horribly wrong. Being an “outlier” is irrelevant when 6000 people die. Doesn’t he walk the streets and see it? And to say he would hold hearings - as if that’s going to do anything.

Maybe it’s time for politicians to start doing their jobs instead of campaigning to keep their jobs.
