Mother Rebecca Kiessling recently testified before a House committee about losing her sons to the opioid fentanyl crisis affecting the country.
My children were taken away from me,” said Rebecca Kiessling said. “This should not be politicized. It’s not about race. Fentanyl doesn’t care about race. You talk about welcoming those crossing our border seeking protection? You’re welcoming drug dealers across our border. You’re giving them protection. You’re not protecting our children.”
Much of the drugs that are sweeping through the United States come from China and are smuggling in through our southern border.
Powerful testimony from a mom who lost her two sons to fentanyl poisoning:

Recently Biden spoke at the Hyatt Regency Baltimore Inner Harbor Baltimore, Maryland, before the House Democratic Caucus. During the speech, Biden touted his infrastructure bill amid a record number of train derailments.
The President also mocked the mother who lost two sons so he could score political points against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Below is the official transcript from the White House, we left the applause and laughter spots in so you could see how the Democrats mocked a mother with two dead sons to score political points:
“And, you know, a little bit of more Marjorie Taylor Greene and a few more, and you’re going to have a lot of Republicans running our way. (Laughter and applause.) Isn’t she amazing? (Laughter.) Oof. (Laughter.)
I was the reason — she was — she was very specific. I shouldn’t digress, probably. She — (laughter) — I’ve read 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. (Laughs.)
Yesterday, a mom who lost her two sons to fentanyl poisoning told her story.
Today, Biden laughed about it. pic.twitter.com/USEbe4Ouhe
