At a campaign event for Democrat Beto O’Rourke, members of Texas Governor Greg Abbott‘s reelection campaign handed out empty pill bottles with a fake label attached that blamed President Joe Biden‘s “open border” policies for a rise in fentanyl deaths in the state.
The bottles, which also had O’Rourke’s name on them, contained a piece of paper with statistics about fentanyl and the number of Americans that die from overdoses, according to Madlin Mekelburg of the Austin American-Statesman, who tweeted photos of the bottles at the Wednesday night event.
This is a developing story that will be updated as more information becomes available.
