Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas) has joined a growing number of legislators calling for military action against Mexican cartels due to the growing fentanyl crisis in the United States.

Hunt was asked if, because of his military background, he believes that the United States should use its military against the cartels in Mexico. The Texas Republican told Stuart Varney during the March 17 interview on Fox Business, “That’s something that we absolutely should take a look at.”
