Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) blasted China on March 2 for “violating” the United States’ “sovereignty every single day when they kill our youth here in America” with fentanyl.

During an on-stage conversation with China expert Gordon Chang at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Hagerty warned about fentanyl pouring into the United States through the southern border through Chinese Communist Party-connected cartels.
