Biden crunches the numbers, calculates that 20,000 lbs. of fentanyl is 'enough to kill 1,000 people'

Joe Biden said plenty of stupid crap during his presser on the border crisis yesterday. Here’s a quick refresher in case you missed any of it:

Biden: It’s not like aspiring illegal immigrants sit around planning to illegally cross our border
Joe Biden blames ‘MAGA Republicans’ for border crisis before painting them as paranoid xenophobes
Joe Biden praises President Harris for her work on the border crisis
Biden touts sweet DHS app that asylum-seeking illegal migrants can use to get here totally legally

But we’d be remiss if we didn’t also include this gem. We may be a day late on it, but it’s still freshly ridiculous:

Joe Biden claims 20,000 lbs of fentanyl is "enough to kill as many as 1,000 people in this country."

Just a little bit.

20,000 lbs of fentanyl could kill 1000 people just by dropping a kilo at a time on people from a tall building.

Fair, but that’s not what he meant.

We know that Biden’s never been that great with numbers, but geez. This isn’t even being off by a couple of zeroes. This is, like, 4.5 billion times worse than that.
