Tucker Carlson denounced the Biden Administration for its new $30 million grant program to reduce substance abuse to underserved communities, alleging that the government would be giving out "free crack pipes to Black people."
Although the Administration has explained that they're distributing safe smoking kits, not crack pipes, Carlson doubled down on his claims Tuesday night.
"The Biden Administration is promoting drug addiction," he announced. "They've been caught doing it and now they're denying it."
Carlson's fellow Fox host SeanHannity further blasted the Administration's plan on Wednesday night in an interview with U.S. Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, who named the plan "stupidity."

"There's no safe way to use crack cocaine and meth. Sooner or later it kills you. Why aren't we spending this money to get people off the illicit drugs," Kennedy announced.
A spokesperson for Health and Human Services told the Washington Free Beacon that included in these kits could be pipes for users to smoke substances like crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine, or "any illicit substance."

HHS announced that the kits will help to limit the risk of infection - typically, users smoke out of glass pipes which can lead to cuts and sores that become infected with diseases like Hepatitis-C.
The kits include a rubber mouthpiece to prevent cuts and burns, brass screens to filter contaminants, and disinfectant wipes.

The grant program lasts three years and includes 25 awards of up to $400,000.
U.S. Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday that the Beacon's story was inaccurate and that crack pipes were never involved in the government's kits.
It came after Carlson mocked the idea on Tuesday night.

"You may recall that on his first day in office more than a year ago, the new President explained that equity will require determination and creativity," Carlson told his viewers.
"This week he proved that is true. Joe Biden's latest idea is to pay black people to smoke more crack."
The Fox News host announced that Progressive groups, many of them funded by George Soros's institutions, supported Biden's plan, and joked that the President's 52-year-old son - who had a highly-publicized crack addiction - exemplified the "crack gap."
Hunter Biden, in his memoir, writes that he first bought crack cocaine at age 18.
Carlson then suggested that the president was turning a blind eye to the opioid crisis because the victims were "mostly white."
"Their deaths had nothing to do with the equity agenda. In fact, their deaths may have helped the equity agenda by changing the demographics of the country in a way that benefits the Democratic Party. So as far as the Biden Administration is concerned, it's not a bad trend."
