Yeah...tell us again that the democrat party isn't working with the drug cartels....
Keep in mind that Mexico president Andrés Manuel López Obrador's administration is currently suing many major U.S. gun makers to the tune of $ 10 billion, blaming them for fueling cartel violence.
The disclosures from whistleblowers indicate that the Biden administration itself is allowing the weapons trafficking to take place, or at least isn't doing much to stop it.
Another curious twist is that Obrador has been the subject of at least two U.S.-based investigations into his own ties to the cartels; investigations that were also suddenly halted during the Obama and Biden administrations. According to ProPublica, the first investigation took place in 2010, and revolved around alleged cash payments from the cartels to Obrador's failed 2006 presidential campaign; information detailed by an Obrador staffer who was busted on drug charges by the DEA.

Between Operation Fast & Furious, the sudden shutdown of Operation Thor, and the kid-glove handling of Obrador, I get the impression that the Obama and Biden administrations have done far more to fuel cartel violence south of the border than any other entity in the United States. Are they turning a blind eye to these trafficking efforts (or, in the case of Operation Fast & Furious, allowing guns to be trafficked) because it benefits their domestic gun control agenda, their foreign diplomacy with Obrador, or both?
