The $290 million in funds would be used to sustain 61 Overdose Response Strategy teams that would help try to curb fentanyl.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday he wants almost $300 million in federal funding to fight “rainbow fentanyl” — highly-addictive pills that look like candy and could have a devastating effect on young people.

The Brooklyn native and longtime politician added: “Our drug dealers will stop at nothing, and are now giving this evil drug the morbid moniker of ‘Rainbow.’ It’s gross, it’s disgusting.” “We know that one of these pills can kill. That’s black and white, not rainbow,” he said. “You can ask police officers, you can ask doctors, you can ask health professionals — all of them have this vantage point that this is one of the biggest health threats today.”

No you open border where it comes from to get money that you would not need if you kept border closed

Chuck U better be Careful you might be canceled you sound like a Republican Biden doesn’t care about Children , God bless U

Well of course money fixes everything according to the Democratic socialist republic of the United States

Legalization of prescription version of opioids especially for older Americans would solve the problem

markjos05095724 How about closing the border?

Do it a lot cheaper if we shut down and policed the border

Close the border - much of the problem solved.

This is not for Democratic credit This is not for Republican credit WE ARE AMERICAN We defend the People and the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic Anyone bringing this poison to America Are the Enemies of America And on the wrong side of GOD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

Start with shutting our borders. Stop sending our taxes to China where fentanyl is made.

What ever happen to Nancy Reagan message just say NO to drugs much cheaper.

How about closing the dam boarder Chuck

He wants money to clean up his bosses mess ? Schumer let Biden keep the borders open and now he wants money to fix it. Vote against him and they will politicize it

Maybe use that 290 million to secure the border and build the wall.

I wish he'd taste the rainbow.

It’s the first time he has mentioned it.

You might want to secure the border. Stop the politics and do some good for a change

This guy is tripping!! Close border, hire border agents, build wall we already paid for, stop influx of illegals and then I am sure New York’s Senator will find he doesn’t need $290 more million.

Here is an idea.....CLOSE THE SOUTHERN BORDER!!

How much of that goes in his pocket?

If Trump would have been able to finish the wall and Biden would stop letting the Fentynol flow through the border. There is no need for 290m.

Try shutting the border.

To fight what lol

SenSchumer maybe close the border and cut ties with China?! You don’t have the balls. Your imbedded with them!

I see senator upchuck is sticking to safe topics these days.

He could try closing the southern border.

5% is going to the cause and the other 95% is going to you & your gang pockets.

Try closing the border.

Great Chuck. If you want to stop the drugs,start with closing the borders where it is coming in.

Chuck should just eat the whole bag. That should help

Eliseo87835222

How about closing the boarder and declaring Biden buddies the Mexican Cartel a terrorist organization instead. Never happen because these politicians get a kickback from Cartel.

Secure the border. It doesn’t take 290 mil to do that.

Hows about we to after the ROOT cause. The left usually LOVE to talk about root causes, unless of course, it is something THEY'RE using as political folly. Deal with the border, deal with the traffickers bringing this along with smuggled HUMANS across the border.

Maybe close to border Chucky-Cheese!

Just close the border

How about secure the border and death sentence for drug dealers

Take some from the billions you keep throwing at Ukraine or climate change.

Racist cowards in comment section

Mollyflops is what they call those pills on the skeets.

While his entire party ignores the border and immigration laws, and proudly offer sanctuary to illegals- while teaching them how to evade arrest?

Build a wall

Then finish the southern border wall.

CLosE thE BoRdeR

Mmmm.... yea I’ve twenty bucks

CLOSE THE BORDER $CHUMER.

My friend just lost her talented son — a country singer/song writer, 32 — to an accidental overdose of fentanyl. An equal opportunity, brutal drug.

Let's start by voting these leftists out in November and close the border

Funny the timing of this 🤣

close the border- now

No.

How about they put the money into finishing the wall?

Has Chuckles SenSchumer thought about closing the Southern Border? You know try and stop it before it becomes a problem killing Americans at record numbers.

Money doesn’t fight drugs. Poverty creates the need for escapism through drugs. Work on the problem. After “Rainbow Fentanyl” it’ll be the next escape

“What the Chuck” Schumer is “with it” about as much as Joe Biden. 😂

No Chuck, just shut down the open border. “It’s the border, Stupid.”

Secure the Border You 🤡💩🤡💩

I don’t believe for 1 second that the $ would be used to combat drugs. It would go straight into their bank accounts & payoff for their evil deeds…🤨 they are giving us bio weapons (vax) they want rid of us trust me…

NYS isn't time for a new a Senator?

Tariff China’s goods until they stop producing it & sending it over to Mexico, also the new opioiod called ISO as well. AND CLOSE THE DAMN BORDERS, OR IT WON’T MAKE A DAMN BIT OF DIFFERENCE HOW MUCH MONEY YOU DO SPEND, SCHUMER!!!

Get it from the lower inflation bill. Relate it to the climate crisis and Trump.. we are sick of the theft from Democrats .. please go away.

C’Mon, Chuck. They ain’t deadly. Just try one.

Not 68 billion?

whatwakeup Close the border instead.

It’s about time this old joker was gone

Ha lol this fool is two years too late

What about not allowing it to enter through the South Border?

Secure the damn border.

How about shutting down the Southern Boarder and save $290M. Wake up America!

What’s the plan?

Must be up for re-election?!!! Lmfao. Where have you been you hag?!!!

He should have helped fund the border wall.

Easy, finish the freakin fence.

Try closing the border. Ask Eagle Pass how it’s going?

That's a politition. Not a servant of the citizens. Considering Biden allowed the mess at the border Schumer should be informed how many died or were hospitalized in the last 18 months. Then rub it in his face. Hopefully he'll lose his Senate leadership.

The fentanyl democratic socialist party policies let I to this country with their pathetic border crisis? No, fix the border, get tough on crime esp with drug and human trafficking, deport illegal migrants.

Dude. Wtf is up with his eyes. Creepy.

And 200 million will go to his bank account

Then close the FREAKING Southern Border and gain control of that border once again - if $290million is approved, very little will be affectively used Close the FREAKING Southern Border !!! Schumer cannot be trusted at all

'Schumer said he would make the push this week as part of a must-pass funding bill to keep the government running.' Enough of your bullshit

Use it to finish the wall, that would actually do some good vs. spending it on another useless govt program.

Start by closing the border

Perhaps he should start by closing the borders!

Secure the border!

Just seal the damn border!!! You are responsible for this, Chuck, when you fought Trump tooth and nail against securing the border.

You know what would help? Securing the border.

SIMPLY TAKE the drugs from the Dealers and Leave. NO MORE COURT COSTS. k

He’s not getting anymore money. Spend your own ! Ughhh

POS chuckschumer

SCHUMER,Biden,Pelosi Don’t give a DAMMMMMMM about the Americans feelings or their way of life THEY HAVE DESTROYED THE AMERICAN PEOPLES Spirit 😩😩👀

SenSchumer Get $$$ out of your hefty bank account. You and your party could have handled this 1-1/2 years ago at the border but didn’t.

Close the Borders.

I call BS 💩

Closing the US Southern Border would cost much less and save countless lives.

rascalsmom6 What's he posing like that for the picture for? He needs our permission? He needs the money from us? No sir! You've stolen enough money from taxpayers. Close the border dipstick!

Trump talked about this years ago and they didn't take it seriously. Opioid Crisis is largely responsible for decreasing life expectancy in the US. Big problem.

Secure the border will be the best thing to do!

Ask NancyPelosi for the extra cash she saved on 'insider trading.'

Another money-laundering operation.

The invasion of our country is YOURS…

What are the stats (race demographics) on fentanyl use and overdoses here in America?

There goes inflation again with the Monopoly money

Yeah, I bet he is just so sad that he can't sleep at night about all of the deaths from Fentanyl as well as all of the people dying from trying to get into the United States illegally. I bet it just breaks his heart

“What a stupid SOB” we have been fighting fentanyl for 2 years at border! Oh I forgot DEM’s refuse to admit they caused that. You are appalling, and killing our kids. No concern because it does not put money in your pocket. WhiteHouse VP SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer POTUS

Close the border Chuckie.

He makes up the problem then offers a solution using our money….they have always done this

Just close the border, dude.

Close the border!

Just say no is free

Crybaby Chuck

Have Don Jr. Buy them!! He is nothing but a Junkie!!

And exactly does he plan to do with the money. What accountability would be put in place to pervent any possibility of fraud.

Is that the price to CLOSE THE DAMN BORDER Chuckie? SenSchumer

It's almost as if this clown has no idea the fentanyl comes in through the Southern Border...almost

If you build a wall, democrats would have many less issues to beg for money for. Thats why nothing is ever solved. Solve = democrats can't ask for money they plan to mis manage. Wake up people, Jesus!

Why not close the ports of fentanyl's entry? Like the border

Schumer. Pandering

No

Sounds like fentanyl is just rebranding for Pride month. Why would the good senator oppose this?

Vote Useless Chuck OUT !!!

Take it from the allotment for the war on drugs. Oh he already got his slop from that bucket of scheme.

What a joke! Probably getting kickbacks from it.

Close the boarders.

Shut the f’n border

It's called close the border.

I have a solution, close the border

The $290 million in funds would be used to sustain 61 Overdose Response Strategy teams. Why not try and actually stop the flow of Fentanyl? This sounds like a band-aid.

I can understand that

Unless that’s going to help secure the boarder it won’t do any good.

Hmmm...fighting narco traffic. Wadda noble idea 🤔 Why no one wasn't thinking about it before they spent $4T on DEA...like 40 years ago 🤔

Close the border, that’s free!

Maybe Schumer should work with bid en to close the border, to start instead of ways to pocket more money! All the money spent and no good changes came from it! In a way, money is the root to all evil!

Lmao nice

It’s called secure your borders

More money to launder Chuckie?

Hey CRYING CHUCK YOU AND THE DEMORATS ARE WHY THE FENEANYL IS HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Just sell it all to hunter.

Of course, “give me money” instead of “Close the border POTUS”, why am I not surprised.

It comes from China.

No haha he wants to be paid $290 mill cause he's a criminal out to scam America. VoteRedToSaveAmerica2022

After 2 years of an open border & RECORD fentanyl overdoses, ChuckSchumer has SUDDENLY discovered America have a drug crisis. Stop trying to buy votes with tax payer money!💰FireChuckSchumer SecureTheBorder

SenSchumer you best stop voting yes when Biden gives away our $$$ to Zelensky!

Close the boarder clown and you’ll stop the drugs

Or, you can do more to police the source

Hire more border patrol officers.

Stop the problem at the source... finish building the wall... Secure the border Chuckie

Defund narcan and let nature, fentanyl take its course.

How about we protect our border, Chuckles?

SenSchumer Want to fight Fentanyl, CLOSE THE SOUTHERN BOARDER!! Fentanyl

Try closing the border…faster and cheaper!!!

Darwin ThinTheHerd Culling Only the strong survive, if you didn't lo a community, you already threw them to the wolves. Its too late for your cubs worldstar. Schumer wants $290M to help fight deadly 'rainbow fentanyl'

Guy can't even hold up his lids anymore 👴

We’ll do it in January.

Close the border.

U try drugs off the street, that’s your problem.

Yes this is the scourge of the 21st Century. This s*** is fueling crime and homelessness and mental illness.

Fix the border and you will fix your other problems at the same time.

Close the boarders

Slowing the influx of people would have helped significantly…. But I’m just a Republican living in a Democrat run idiocracy.

Which the Dems will blow on useless govt give aways of tax payer money. How about enforcing a closed southern border. Enforcing law law n illegal birder crossers while promoting legal immigration policy. How about getting tough with Mexico/China to dtop fentanyl. BidenDrugs

Ask President Trump. He knows how to do that. It's called securing the border. These people think we're stupid.

Close the border. Stop wasting tax dollars.

How much of that is for him?

A lot more than TRUMP wanted to build the wall

Clearly, to continue throwing taxpayer money at problems isn’t fixing a damn thing. Close the southern border that Joe Biden ordered wide open.

Take it out of the Ukraine petty cash account..

No way Biden will go along with this. Biden welcomes this crap.

close the border put drug dealers in jail

No money needed..just close the fkn border.

Only now? Why did he wait for our loved ones to die? My sister did not know that she was ingesting fentanyl. He cannot give her back to us.

…….. and where will he send the money? What are they doing about the Southern Border? The only reason Schumer did this is because of the election in November! They can fool some of the people most of the time and they really try incessantly to do so!

290 M of his own money or...?

Thanks Cuck Groomer

How about he close the border? Any money given to him for this would not go to it.

Close the southern boarder immediately!

close the boarder you corrupt feeble feckless jack ass

Chuck farts rainbow sprinkles

Close the border. Save your money.

How about close the border!!!
