In the wake of rising shootings and a growing fentanyl epidemic throughout the country, Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-Tenn.) said that America needs to focus on “restoring law and order.”

In response to violent crime in the United States reaching a 10-year high in 2020, Harshbarger said that poorly equipped police and sheriff’s departments “breed lawlessness.”
