CNN Actually Tries To Defend El Chapo From Senator Ted Cruz’s Plan To Use Drug Lord’s Money To Build The Wall

CNN is a disgusting mess. Just when you think they can’t possibly go any lower they manage to do just that. This time it was the news network’s passive aggressive pushback against Senator Ted Cruz’s brilliant idea to utilize the billions convicted drug kingpin El Chapo amassed to help pay for the southern border wall. El Chapo has contributed to countless murders, drug deaths, human trafficking, and on and on and on yet CNN would take his side over President Trump’s desire to better protect U.S. citizens from animals like El Chapo. And good on Senator Crus for telling El Chapo’s attorney (and CNN) to pound sand. -- More...

El Chapo’s lawyer seems confused. Nobody is asking for voluntary contributions. After El Chapo’s 10 convictions, DOJ will begin criminal forfeiture proceedings to seize every penny of El Chapo’s $14 Bn illicit fortune. My legislation would, in turn, use those $ to build the wall. https://t.co/pAh7l4pnP9
