Joe Biden has been slammed as “shameful” after he chuckled while discussing two fentanyl deaths on Wednesday. The deaths in question surround Rebecca Kiessling’s two children who suffered fentanyl overdoses in 2020. Grand Old Party Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene attempted to blame Biden, claiming his administration failed to stop the inflow of illicit drugs into America.
Greene said during the hearing on Tuesday: “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.”
She tweeted after the hearing: “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 administration’s refusal to secure our border and stop the cartels from murdering Americans every day by Chinese fentanyl.”
Responding to Greene, Biden said: “She’s very specific recently saying that a mom, a poor mother, who lost two kids to fentanyl, that I killed her sons.”
“The interesting thing is that fentanyl they took came during the last administration,” he chuckled.

Kiessling’s two sons died in July 29 due to fentanyl poisoning.
The mother said during her appearance at the House hearing that her sons’ died as a result of “murder” rather than an overdose.
She said: “I don’t use the term ‘drug overdose’ because this was not an overdose.
“This was murder. This is a war. Act like it. Do something.”
Lorenzo Brabo was sentenced to eight to 15 years in prison in 2021 after giving the teens fentanyl.
