Fentanyl Doesn't Come from Venezuela': CNN's Dana Bash Bristles at Jim Jordan's Defense of Strike

"I trust the president to make decisions that are in the best interest of Americans of our country, Jordan began. This president gets results. I think when you when you have a guy who's not recognized as a head of state, who's head of a narco terrorist, criminal operation, who's cozying up to Iran and China, and he's doing it right here in our hemisphere, bringing that individual to justice, I think that's a good thing. Most Americans think that's that's a good thing."

"And that's consistent with keeping drugs off the streets. I know folks in the fourth district of Ohio and what fentanyl and other drugs have done to some families that I get the privilege of representing BASH: But, fentanyl doesn't come from JORDAN: Helping deal with that I think is a good thing. And Americans recognize this for for decisive action that makes a difference for us. And frankly, for Venezuelans."

Dana Bash challenged Rep. Jim Jordan's justification for apprehending Venezuela's president as a way to stop fentanyl entering the United States. Jordan described the Venezuelan leader as an unrecognized head of state leading a narco-terrorist criminal operation with ties to Iran and China, and argued that bringing him to justice would help keep drugs off U.S. streets. Bash countered that fentanyl does not come from Venezuela and emphasized that foreign-policy actions differ from promises to prioritize domestic economic concerns. The federal indictment against Maduro alleges he and co-defendants transported thousands of tons of cocaine to the United States.
