In case you missed it, the Biden administration has set aside $30 million in funding for a program that includes ‘safe smoking kits’ with paraphernalia that critics have referred to as ‘crack pipes.’

The mainstream media hath decreed that this is a bastardization of the program’s intent and thus it is sacrosanct to refer to such ‘drug equity’ paraphernalia as ‘crack pipes.’ The Washington Beacon broke the story, as pointed out by Fox News.

“The Health and Human Services (HHS) Department is rolling out a $30 million grant program that will fund the distribution of items, like crack pipes, for smoking illicit substances, according to a new report,” Fox News reported.

“The Washington Free Beacon initially reported on the program, noting that the department would prioritize applicants in ‘underserved communities’ as defined under one of President Biden’s executive orders,” Fox News continued. “An HHS spokesperson reportedly told the Beacon that the grants would fund smoking kits with pipes for users to smoke crystal methamphetamine, crack cocaine and ‘any illicit substances’.”

The grant document refers to Biden’s executive order 13985: “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.”

The White House denies that this is a ‘crack pipe funding program.’ But, just to be on the safe side, a pair of Republican congressmembers are now proposing the HUNTER Act. It would ban (you guessed it) government funding for crack pipes.

The legislation was proposed by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC). Bishop remarked on the bill.

“After getting caught, Biden now claims that American taxpayers won’t be funding crack pipes after all,” Bishop said on Twitter. “But just to be safe, @RepBoebert & I are introducing the HUNTER Act, which ensures your tax dollars aren’t subsidizing woke drug policies.”

Boebert explained to Fox News the more serious purpose underlying the pointed jab at the Biden administration.

“Congressman Bishop and I are standing up and saying, heck no,” Boebert said. “Our tax dollars should not be funding the death and destruction of crack addicts. Democrats are always putting the American taxpayer last and Republicans just want to give people in need a good job. Democrats want to give them crack pipes.”
