Senator Capito and Fox News suddenly go silent on the Halloween fentanyl candy story
What is next for the fearmongers?
On October 11, Senator Capito and Senate Republicans each put out a video hyping the possibility that drug dealers were disguising their fentanyl as candy and giving it to children. “Halloween would be dangerous, this year,” they said. From Capito’s senate website, here’s the senator’s version:
