Guess What David Hogg Blamed for Mexican Cartel Gun Violence

More than a decade ago, the Obama administration was neck-deep in the "Fast & Furious" scandal, when the Obama administration ran guns to the Mexican cartels under the guise of "tracking" them. That gun-running operation led to the death of U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry. One of Obama's "stimulus" bills contained this interesting line, too: "...of which $10,000,000 shall be transferred to ‘Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Salaries and Expenses’ for the ATF Project Gunrunner.”

You can draw a straight line from the "Fast & Furious" to where we are today, with the Mexican cartel Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) causing mass chaos in several Mexican states in retaliation for the death of its leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mancho."

The Left, never missing an opportunity to push their agenda, have decided to frame the cartel violence as the fault of America's "weak" gun laws.

No, it's not. The Obama administration gave guns to the Mexican cartels, David.

Harvard isn't sending their best and brightest for this.

And of those firearms run by the Obama administration, only 12 percent of Mexican firearms came from America.

He's just dishonest.

Remember when the biggest scandal of the Obama years was his tan suit?

He has no idea what "Fast & Furious" was all about.

Those governments are insanely corrupt.

Nothing is ever their fault or their responsibility.

There's a reason that the cartels have been able to cripple Mexico for more than 36 hours: they're insanely powerful and well-armed, and that's not the fault of American gun laws.
