Rick Harrison Praises Trump for Border Actions After Son's Fentanyl Overdose

Rick Harrison, known from 'Pawn Stars', has publicly praised former President Donald Trump for his administration's efforts to close the southern border, linking these actions to the fight against the fentanyl crisis that affected his family. Harrison's son, Adam, died from a fentanyl overdose in January 2024, and he advocates for stricter penalties for those involved in the drug trade, calling for life imprisonment for fentanyl dealers, whom he describes as 'selling poison'. He emphasized the need for a strong crackdown on the production of fentanyl in other countries and acknowledged Trump's personal outreach to him following his son's death. Harrison believes that the border closures have contributed to a significant drop in drug flow across the border. He expressed a desire to possibly run for office, motivated by the hope of making a positive impact in the fight against drug-related issues. This reflection comes as he continues to grapple with the loss of his son and the ongoing fentanyl crisis in the U.S.
