Psaki denies report taxpayer funds will be used for crack pipes and slams Republicans for their 'political games' when asked if Biden is encouraging drug use by opening door to safe injection sites
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - 'They were never a part of the kit,' said Psaki. 'It was inaccurate reporting'
- On Monday an HHS spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon that included in these kits these kits could be pipes to smoke 'any illicit substance'
- HHS on Wednesday put out a statement contradicting its previously reported remarks
- 'No federal funding will be used directly or through subsequent reimbursement of grantees to put pipes in safe smoking kits,' they said
- Meanwhile, the Justice Department (DOJ) signaled Monday it may allow 'safe injection sites' to open up across the U.S.
- 'The White House is committed ... to taking steps to address the opioid crisis. This is not an issue that is inflicting just blue states,' Psaki said of the DOJ's move
