福克斯新闻的一名共和党战略家显然认为使用大麻的人会将毒品注射到他们的身体里。
在福克斯新闻节目的一段时间里寡不敌众周四,共和党主席大卫·阿维拉讨论了新决议旧金山官员提出在刑满时将前囚犯称为“前囚犯”或“前司法人员”或“返回居民”。阿威拉认为,这种方法不知何故导致了其他问题,比如人们在加州的街道上拉屎。
这位共和党战略家说:“加州试图清理他们的监狱,但是每年他们仍然有过度拥挤的监狱”。“重点应该放在一个守法的社会,不允许人们在街上排便,不允许个人躺在大街上,因为他们刚刚注射了大麻或海洛因,还被针头扎了出来。”
尽管尚不清楚阿威拉是只是说错了话,还是真的相信有人给自己注射了大麻,但有些人很快在推特上指出了过失。大麻,也称为大麻,通常是通过吸烟或吃用大麻油制成的食物来摄取的。它不会被“注射”或注射到血液中。
“在福克斯新闻上,共和党战略家大卫·阿维拉表示他认为人们会给自己注射大麻,”沃克斯的记者亚伦·鲁帕在推特上写道,包括一段失态的片段和两个表情符号,一个笑着哭着,另一个哭着。
Mediaite记者凯勒·埃卡尔马(Caleb Ecarma)也贴出了这段视频,写道:“福克斯新闻非常担心无家可归的人躺在‘刚刚被大麻喷到街上’”
“人们忘记了杂草总是静脉注射,”他补充道。
大麻在加利福尼亚是合法的,同时10个其他国家,尽管一般不允许用户在公共场合消费。加州的个人可以去指定的大麻商店购买各种大麻和注入大麻的产品,包括预卷大麻烟和许多不同种类的食物。同时,根据美国联邦法律,大麻仍然是完全非法的。
然而,阿威拉提到旧金山的人们在街上排便是一个真正的问题。有报道称,城市居民在城市的人行道和公共区域拉屎显著增加在过去的几年里。早在2011年,该年报告了5,500起事件,2018年稳步上升至28,084起。分析师认为,这个问题与旧金山的无家可归者问题直接相关,随着房租价格的快速上涨,无家可归者问题变得更加严重。
ON FOX NEWS, REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST LAMENTS PEOPLE LAYING ON THE STREET 'HAVING JUST SHOT UP WITH MARIJUANA'
A Republican strategist on Fox News apparently thought that individuals who use marijuana inject the drug into their bodies.
During a segment of the Fox News program Outnumbered on Thursday, David Avella, the president of GOPAC, discussed a new resolution put forward by San Francisco officials to refer to former prisoners as "formerly incarcerated person" or former "justice-involved" person or "returning resident" when they complete their sentences. Avella suggested that this kind of approach was somehow leading to other issues, such as people pooping in the streets of the California city.
"California has tried to clear out their prisons and yet every year they continue to have overcrowded prisons," the Republican strategist said. "And the focus ought to be on a society that follows the law, not allowing people to defecate in the streets, not allowing individuals to lay on the street having just shot up with marijuana – or heroin and having a needle sticking out of them."
Although it's unclear whether Avella simply misspoke or actually believes that individuals inject themselves with marijuana, some were quick to point out the gaffe on Twitter. Marijuana, also known as cannabis, is generally ingested through smoking or eating edibles that have been prepared with cannabis oil. It is not "shot up" or injected into the bloodstream.
"On Fox News, Republican strategist David Avella indicates he thinks people inject themselves with marijuana," Vox journalist Aaron Rupar wrote in a Twitter post, including a clip of the gaffe and two emojis, one laughing with tears and the other weeping.
Mediaite reporter Caleb Ecarma also posted the clip, writing: "fox news is very worried about homeless people laying 'in the street having just shot up with marijuana'"
"People forget that weed is always done intravenously," he added.
Cannabis is recreationally legal in California, along with 10 other states, although users are not generally permitted to consume it in public. Individuals in California can go to designated cannabis shops and buy a variety of marijuana and marijuana-infused products, including pre-rolled joints to smoke and many different kinds of edibles. Meanwhile, cannabis remains completely illegal under U.S. Federal Law.
Avella's reference to people defecating in the streets in San Francisco is a real issue, however. Reports of city resident's pooping on sidewalks and public areas around the city have increased significantly over the past several years. Back in 2011, there were 5,500 incidents reported in the year, which steadily increased to 28,084 in 2018. Analysts believe the issue is directly related to San Francisco's homeless problem, which has gotten worse as rent prices have rapidly increased.
