‘Absolutely Disgusting’: Harrison Slams Politicians over Inaction
Rick Harrison, star of the hit show ‘Pawn Stars,’ has spoken out against the fentanyl crisis following the tragic death of his son, Adam. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, Harrison expressed his frustration with politicians and their failure to address the issue.
Harrison called for immediate action to tackle the crisis, emphasizing the need to remove fentanyl from the country and make it more difficult to obtain. He criticized the low cost of the drug, stating that it should be made more expensive to discourage its use.
The reality star also condemned the politicians for their inaction, blaming them for allowing the crisis to escalate. He described their lack of action as “absolutely ridiculous” and accused them of being complicit in the deaths caused by fentanyl.
‘The Equivalent of a Plane Crash Every Day’
Harrison highlighted the severity of the crisis, comparing it to a plane crash happening every day. He expressed his disappointment that the issue is not given enough attention by the media and politicians.
He also criticized the federal government’s response to the crisis, particularly their opposition to Texas’ border enforcement efforts. Harrison called for stronger border control measures to prevent drugs from entering the country.
Tragic Death of Adam Harrison
On January 19, Adam Harrison, Rick’s son, was found dead in a guesthouse in the Las Vegas area. The incident report revealed the presence of drugs and paraphernalia at the scene.
Harrison expressed his ongoing grief over the loss of his son, stating that he suspected a drug overdose as the cause of death. He described his son’s struggles with substance abuse and the difficult journey he had faced.
Call for Tougher Penalties
During the interview, Harrison called for harsher penalties for drug dealers, suggesting that selling fentanyl should be considered attempted murder. He also urged for stricter laws and punishment for drug offenses.
Harrison’s concerns extended beyond the fentanyl crisis. He criticized the government’s allocation of funds, citing examples of money being spent on foreign aid instead of addressing pressing issues within the United States.
Remembering Adam
Despite the pain of his loss, Harrison fondly remembered his son as “the greatest kid in the world.” He shared stories and memories of Adam, highlighting his love for baseball and his infectious smile.
As Harrison continues to mourn his son, he remains determined to make a difference in the fight against the fentanyl crisis. He called for common sense and action from politicians and urged Americans to prioritize the well-being of their children.
