Republicans Blame Mexican Cartels On Biden!

The Americans who died in Mexico are being returned.

What better way to win voters? Complain about the issue, offer no reasonable solutions and resort to blaming and name calling.

Since the Republican Party is obsessed with crime and xenophobia, they are obviously blaming the Biden Administration for the deaths of two Americans who went into Mexico during a gang war in the state of Tamaulipas. The U.S. State Department issued a warning to all travelers visiting northern Mexico to be alert for potential violence. This was a Level 4, one of the highest advisories meaning do not travel.

The four Americans who traveled to the city of Matamoros, a city bordering Brownsville, Texas.

They were caught in the crossfire of two warring cartels. Two men were killed. One woman and a man survived. The man was injured. The woman was sparred. In earlier posting, I thought it two women and two men.

Anyway, the victims: Eric Williams and LaTavia Washington McGee survived. Zindell Brown and Shaheed Woodward died in the crossfire.

According to The Washington Post, officials do not believe the victims were targeted before the encounter and there is no evidence to believe that the four were linked to any organized crime in the area.

McGee, Woodard, Brown and Williams did not have criminal records.

In an update to the press on March 7, 2023, Tamaulipas Governor, Américo Villarreal, said: “Of the four, two of them are dead, one person is wounded and the other is alive and right now the ambulances and the rest of the security personnel are going for them for give the corresponding support."

These idiot Republicans live nowhere close to the U.S.-Mexican border. By the way, they're scared to go into Mexico and threaten military forces to fight the cartels.

According to the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, an "innocent" Mexican citizen also died in the attack.

The White House had announced that they're going to handle the matter with Mexican authorities, the U.S. Marshals and FBI.

The far-right pretend that this hasn't happened under Washed Up 45's administration. 

Republicans like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Fox are exploiting this. They are calling for military action which involve soldiers risking their lives for a meaningless war. 

On top of that, none of these lawmakers would risk their lives fighting in a combat battle.

The blame game for Americans freely traveling to foreign countrieks. Like many of these folks go to Russia, North Korea, Iran, Chad, Sudan, Niger, Botswana and other places that are red flag alerts.

Of the 32 states in Mexico, two are deemed cautionary. The rest have raised levels from 3 to 4 on the avoid travel scale.
