GOP Candidate Claims Abortion Pills Laced With Fentanyl
Because the only thing scarier than fentanyl is an abortion pill laced with fentanyl. John Stanton gets it exactly right. Liz Murill is mixing "two classic Republican strawmen — the drug war and abortion — into a single, unexpected and wholly unsubstantiated talking point."

Republican attorney general hopeful and current Solicitor General Liz Murrill Thursday dropped the collab of the summer nobody asked for or expected when she mixed two classic Republican strawmen — the drug war and abortion — into a single, unexpected and wholly unsubstantiated talking point: Nefarious drug pushers are lacing online abortion pills with fentanyl.
Appearing on Mornings with Brian Haldane Thursday, Murrill talked at length about the opioid addiction crisis that has gripped much of the state, and country, for years. A clip of her appearance is below.
In addition to being the state's solicitor general and one of current Attorney General (and gubernatorial front runner) Jeff Landry's closest aides, Murrill is also a member of the right wing extremist group the Federalist Society.
