IT’S ALL ABOUT THE VOTES: Coward Joe Biden delays ban on menthol cigarettes until after the election | The Gateway expert

The last time we touched on Joe Biden’s planned ban on menthol cigarettes, he was considering delaying the effort because his campaign and Democrats are concerned about angering Black voters.

Now it’s all but confirmed that Biden won’t try to put the ban into effect before the election, proving once and for all that all they really care about is votes.

If Biden wins in November, this ban will come into effect in the following months and you can take it to the bank.

Biden admin abruptly postpones plan to ban menthol cigarettes amid widespread opposition

The Biden administration abruptly announced Friday that it will delay regulations banning menthol cigarettes, amid widespread opposition to the proposal.

In a statement, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra said his agency would not act to finalize the regulations and pointed to opposition from civil rights activists. Since they were first proposed by HHS’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the regulations have sparked a controversial debate among health advocates, civil liberties, and business groups.

“This rule has attracted historic attention and the public comment period has generated a tremendous amount of feedback, including from various elements of the civil rights and criminal justice movement,” Becerra said in a statement. “It is clear that more conversations need to be had, and that will take significantly more time.”…

Groups representing minorities such as the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement and the nonprofit National Action Network — the latter of which was founded by civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton — argued that banning menthol cigarettes while not restricting non-menthol cigarettes “a microscope on minority communities.”

Don’t white people smoke menthol cigarettes too? Isn’t it a bit racist for the Biden administration to assume that this issue only affects Black people?

If banning menthol cigarettes was important to prevent people from suffering serious health consequences and death, why would Biden reverse this rule if it will disproportionately harm Black people.

He trades black votes for black bodies. https://t.co/VbujnmvPxr

All Democrats care about is power. This is just a memory.
