If Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador Called the more than 70,000 annual American deaths from fentanyl overdoses the result of inherent U.S. “social decline” unrelated to Mexican cartels that smuggled billions of dollars of it across the border, GOP lawmakers roared loud enough to be heard as far away as Mexico City.
