Jane Timken is running for Senate on Trump's immigration policies.
Ohio Republican Senate candidate Jane Timken released a new campaign ad on Tuesday, baselessly blaming President Joe Biden's immigration policy for the ongoing opioid crisis. And the evidence she cites in the 30-second spot does not support her attack.
"Under Joe Biden, illegal immigrants and drug cartels are flooding Ohio with heroin and fentanyl," Timken, the former state Republican Party chair, claims. "Now opioid deaths are surging again."
Text on the screen then cites a November Spectrum News report that "Ohio drug overdose deaths jumped 26%."

(69,805 posts)they sorta ruined my da's life. offered him an hvac dealership. moved 40 mi from a ton of family, bought a house, then decided that the car companies were willing to pay a lot more for the steel.
left him high and dry. we had a contract on the house, so payments were converted to rent until he could find a job. did live in it til i was 17 and he died.
had to go back to being a traveling salesman w a wife and 5 (eventually 7) kids.
not sure how big/diverse they are now, but they came out of ww11 w a bundle and branched into all kinds of stuff in the 50's. i think they still make hvac.

Over 90% of litigating local governments have confirmed participation in the global settlements approved today by the Big Three drug distributors AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health, and McKesson, along with opioid manufacturer Johnson & Johnson.
