I think they're pointing out the hypocrisy of wanting to crack down on drugs while doing this.
I see so many Trump adjacent folks demanding we lock up drug dealers, deport them, whatever. But they want to let this one go.
Orange man is a classic tough-on-crime guy, very selective what crimes and what demographics of criminals he is tough on.
I see those people in my personal life, too. Ironically, they're also the ones who regularly drive drunk and do a little cocaine now and again because _it doesn't really count_.
