YAF Leader Sparks Applause As She Urges Student Gov to Condemn CCP Over Fentanyl Crisis

In an effort to raise awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) depraved role in orchestrating the fentanyl crisis in the United States, Caitlyn McCoy, chairwoman of the University of Florida’s Young Americans for Freedom chapter, delivered a compelling address before the student government Tuesday evening.

In addition to enlightening their fellow students about the shocking partnerships between the tyrannical foreign government and prominent American politicians, as revealed by Young America’s Foundation alumnus and director Peter Schweizer in his latest investigative release, the chapter is hoping to convince the Student Body Senate to issue a formal condemnation of the CCP. 

If the resounding round of applause she received from the crowd serves as any indication, it seems like the chapter has a strong chance of attaining this goal!

McCoy opened her speech by recounting the tragic stories of Collin Walker, Madeline Globe, and numerous other young students whose lives were cut short by fentanyl-laced narcotics.

“UF YAF condemns the Chinese Communist Party for their part in the rapidly rising amount of fentanyl entering into the U.S. and we urge you to join this fight against the rising fentanyl deaths in America,” McCoy emphasized during her remarks.

This week, the YAF chapter is hosting tablings to distribute literature about the crisis and the shocking revelations unveiled in Schweizer’s Blood Money. They’re also collecting student signatures for their petition for an official student government condemnation. YAFers at the University of Alabama are also spearheading a similar effort.
