In a recent undercover video, it was suggested that President Joe Biden may be postponing the implementation of a ban on menthol cigarettes, a product predominantly used in the black community.
The delay, it is alleged, is due to the President's desire to secure black votes in the upcoming November elections.
As reported by WND, the video, released by Project Veritas, features Isaac Belfer, a Department of Justice lawyer. Belfer insinuates that Biden's political interests are taking precedence over public health concerns. "There are some concerns that you might not want to do something like criminalize a product that's used by tons of black people, especially before an election. Biden used black people. So we're being sued, saying, 'You should pass this regulation now with no excuse to hold it up because your people are dying. If you gave them cigarettes, you can pass this down. We're depending on that. This will definitely affect your life.' Unfortunately, we're not supposed to consider that," Belfer stated.
The Gateway Pundit, in its report, quoted Belfer as saying that the effort to ban menthol cigarettes has been ongoing for over a decade. However, the implementation is being intentionally delayed by President Biden due to his need for black votes. Belfer was recorded acknowledging that "many thousands of black people die every year because of menthol cigarettes." He further revealed that while the FDA is keen on passing this regulation, it's being stalled by the Biden administration.
"Biden doesnt want to pass this regulation [menthol cigarette ban] because hes worried he will lose black voters," Belfer said. This statement underscores the claim that the President's political interests are superseding public health concerns.
The report further alleged that Biden's planned ban on menthol cigarettes, which was previously under consideration for postponement, is now almost certainly not going to be put into effect before the election. This, the report claims, is evidence that the President and the Democrats are more concerned about securing votes than addressing a significant public health issue.
