Key Highlights
- Here’s my opening argument: My opponent this afternoon is Katherine Mangu-Ward, the editor-in-chief of Reason magazine and a staunch libertarian.
- Katherine’s pinned post on X calls for the legalization of heroin, so at least she is consistent. I too am consistent.
- I believe the liberal and libertarian effort to destigmatize, normalize, legalize, and even promote the use of "drugs of abuse" has been a catastrophe for the United States.
- We are a global outlier on this issue.
- We have reaped nothing but pain for a generation of ideologically driven decisions to make drugs more accessible to both young people and adults.
