Washington, D.C. — The one thing we know about Tim Ryan is that he follows wherever the political winds are blowing. As a 20-year career politician, Tim Ryan’s been all over the map on almost every issue.
The latest: the ongoing fentanyl crisis.
According to Breitbart, Two-Faced Tim is now backing a proposal to classify fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction as he runs for the United States Senate. But throughout his time in Congress, and just as recently as last year, Ryan opposed bills that would crack down on fentanyl to combat the nation’s ongoing opioid crisis.
He opposed these bills during a time when this issue was particularly grim for Ohio. The latest data reveals that in 2020, 81 percent of drug overdose deaths in the state were linked to fentanyl. This is an increase from 2019, 2018, and 2017 when fentanyl was linked to about 76 to 71 percent of drug overdose deaths.
But now that he’s looking for a promotion, he’s changing his tune? Where was he when he could’ve actually made a difference for Ohioans?!
Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Lizzie Litzow: “Classic phony career politician.”
