In yet another example of Joe Biden either not being cognizant of what he is saying, or worse, simply displaying who he is as a human being, the president laughed audibly while discussing the deaths of a Michigan mother’s two sons to fentanyl.
While discussing the testimony of Michigan mother Rebecca Kiessling, who testified before the U.S. House this week about how the fentanyl epidemic claimed the life of her two sons — Caleb and Kyler, Biden mentioned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and couldn’t contain his giggles. Check this out.
President Joe Biden sparked criticism Wednesday night after he laughed briefly while discussing a mother who lost her two sons to fentanyl.
“You talk about welcoming those crossing our border ‘seeking protection’ — you’re welcoming drug dealers across our border!” she said.
“I don’t use the term ‘drug overdose’ because this was not an overdose. This was murder. My children got fake Percocets pills] that were fentanyl. There was no Percocet in it at all. And it’s ‘homicide,’ not ‘overdose,’” she added.
Kiessling further argued the U.S. would take greater action if the fentanyl streaming across the border had been weapons of mass destruction from a foreign government.
“If we had Chinese troops lining up along our southern border with weapons aimed at our people, with weapons of mass destruction aimed at our cities, you damned well know you would do something about it. We have a weather balloon from China going across the country. Nobody died, and everybody’s freaking out about it,” she said.
It is debatable whether Joe would do anything about Chinese troops, considering his affinity for their money, however Kiessling’s point is made. Record amounts of the deadly drug are being regularly being seized at port of entries. The problem is, the vast majority doesn’t come in via those ports, and illegals are streaming in unaccounted for on a record basis as well. It is indeed an invasion at the southern border, and rather than weapons of mass destruction, fentanyl is worse. In fact, the deadly drug could well be considered a WMD considering the number of people it has killed.
During the hearing, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) pinned the blame on Joe Biden’s government.
“This government has failed you, and it’s failing American families, and it’s failing, most of all, it’s failing our children and our young people,” Greene said.
After the hearing, Greene tweeted: “Listen to this mother, who lost two children to fentanyl poisoning, tell the truth about both of her son’s murders because of the Biden administrations refusal to secure our border and stop the Cartel’s from murdering Americans everyday by Chinese fentanyl.”
MTG is correct, of course. More than 100,000 die yearly from poisonous Chinese fentanyl, but the Biden administration refuses to secure the border, or even visit it for that matter. When Biden spoke at the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference in Baltimore, Maryland on Wednesday night, he could barely contain his laughter when asked about MTG and her comments. Even worse, he referenced Rebecca Kiessling before gleefully pointing out that her sons died during the Trump administration.

“Isn’t [Greene] amazing? Oof,” Biden said as he laughed.
“I should digress, probably, I’ve read, she, she was very specific recently, saying that a mom, a poor mother who lost two kids to fentanyl, that, that I killed her sons. Well, the interesting thing is that fentanyl they took came during the last administration,” Biden said while laughing.
He should probably learn what the word “digress” means, but considering his dry mouth struggles over the easiest words on movie-theater-sized teleprompters, doubtful we can expect an improvement linguistically. Beyond that, it was a disgusting, disrespectful misdirection attempt. Even if her sons died during the Trump administration, at least President Trump was TRYING to secure the border. Joe Biden has done zero to secure the southern border, and the rising number of deaths from fentanyl are a sad byproduct. The left can mock and split hairs all they want by correctly pointing out the timeline of the deaths MTG was referring to, but they as usual are missing the bigger picture. Joe Biden is a failure with our border. It doesn’t look to change anytime soon.
