By Luis Sanchez - 04/23/18 08:25 PM EDT
Jack Newbrough, one of the candidates running for the Republican nomination to challenge West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin (D), said during a debate on Monday that hed like to waterboard opioid dealers.
When looking at this epidemic I might be a little bit stronger ... catching the dealers and the pushers, Id like to take them out back and waterboard them, Newbrough said during the debate.
That might not be the right thing to say, but I think that is a start in the direction to get it taken care of, he added.
Newbrough noted that he feels so strongly about the issue because he has a personal connection to the opioid crisis.
