Mom rips 'despicable' Biden for laughing at blame claim for sons' fentanyl deaths'
[NYPOST] A Michigan mom whose two sons died of fentanyl overdoses has slammed President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him.......
 as "despicable" after he laughed off the false claim that his administration was to blame for their deaths.

Rebecca Kiessling, whose sons Caleb, 20, and Kyler, 18, died in July 2020 after taking fentanyl-laced Percocet pills, took aim at Biden on Wednesday night after he used her family’s story to knock GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s suggestion he was responsible for the fatalities.

"This is how you speak about the death of my sons? Because a congresswoman misspoke? You mock the loss of my sons?" Kiessling said in a scathing video posted on Facebook.

Kiessling had testified before the House Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday about the loss of her sons, telling Congress that more should be done to stop fentanyl imports.

Greene (R-Ga.) quickly seized on Kiessling’s testimony, suggesting that the brothers might still be alive if the Biden administration, the guys that caused the debacle in Afghanistan
...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...
 had secured the border and stopped the flow of drugs into the US.

Biden, 80, poked fun at Greene on Wednesday night, chuckling as he told a gathering of House Democrats in Baltimore that the boys died under the Trump administration.

"I’ve read she was very specific recently saying that a mom, a poor mother who lost two kids to fentanyl, that I killed her sons. Well, the interesting thing: That fentanyl they took came during the last administration," the president said, adding a "heh-heh" as one or two audience members murmured in disapproval of Greene.

A furious Kiessling said she was "shocked" at Biden’s reaction and demanded an apology from the commander-in-chief.

"How dare you. What is the matter with you? Almost every Democrat on the committee offered condolences, they at least had the decency to do that," she said in the video. "You can’t even do that? You have to mock my pain?"

While Kiessling acknowledged that her sons died six months before Biden was elected, she slammed the government’s handling of the fentanyl crisis ever since.

#2 It's easy to go after Bidet for this, but it's a stock stupid person affectation. After screwing up, they laugh. I'm sure almost everyone here has a story about it.

#4 Let's kindly (or maybe not) remember alleged "conservative" Kevin Williamson writing that opiate overdoses of undereducated white people are a good thing.

#5 #3 - "They have watched him go through grief," she said. "He expressed sympathy for her last night, and his heart goes out to any person, any person who has to go through that type of trauma, that type of hurt."

"You know, Beau fought in Iraq, and was killed by the Cartel because he was trying to stop Fentanyl from being allowed in by Donald Trump!"
Whaaaaa?

#8 Laughing at a mother's grief indicates he is a sociopath. Laughing at the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, like his own son, who made mistakes with illicit drugs shows clearly that he doesn't care. He should know enough to at least act like he's concerned while the cameras roll. It's a sign of creeping dementia that he can't. Normal humans don't laugh about these things.

#9 In 2016 the opiate epidemic was so bad in the Youngstown area where I worked, that we were calling calling cab services to transport injured or ill employees to the ER or Urgent Care. Ambulance service became impossible for non life threatening issues. Trump policies largely alleviated that epidemic. I work somewhere now, so I don’t know if Joe’s policy rewind has brought back the bad old days.
In that environment, I can understand the frustration of a mom that previously has lost children to fentanyl. Joe’s policies certainly have increased the amount of that drug crossing the border by a factor of 5 to 10. The fact that the media is not showing graphs of fentanyl deaths is an indication that those graphs would not favor Joe.
In response to the issue that fentanyl is flooding across an open border, Joe has made a rhetorical jab at MTG. It is no surprise to normal people, that his jab has provoked the mother who has two empty seats at her Thanksgiving table. She is trying to make a difference in honor of her dead sons and has, instead, been answered with a Capitol Hill quip. She will not be getting a plan or answers out of the Administration because the only effective solution would be to reverse policy. The next response by the administration will be to smear the her. They have to.

#11 We should legalize 100% pure fentanyl tablets. Would solve the problem of so many stupid in the shallow end of the gene pool having babies.

#13 Problem is they don't all die instantly, they get high, become zombies and go around wreaking all kinds of havoc that you will have to pay for.
