Earlier this week Rebecca Kiesslin testified on Capitol Hill about losing both of her sons to fentanyl. She called on Congress and the White House to treat the situation like a war.
Gut-wrenching opening statement from Rebecca Kiessling, who lost two sons to fentanyl poisoning, at border hearing:

"You talk about children being taken away from their parents. My children were taken away from me...It’s not about race, fentanyl doesn’t care about race." pic.twitter.com/Kgn4rGvgTg
President Joe Biden, "Mr. Empathy," listened to her pleas and decided to laugh about it during remarks at a Democratic conference in Baltimore.

Kiessling responded with her own remarks later in the evening and on Fox News Thursday morning.
"What is wrong with you?" she asked. "This is how you speak about the deaths of my sons?"

He needs to apologize immediately. https://t.co/EI1JmDnktQ
.@POTUS needs to apologize for this immediately. No person, let alone the president of the United States, laughs when speaking about a mother who lost two sons to fentanyl poisoning. What, President Biden, do you find amusing about this? https://t.co/ItRtOa8x4Y

Biden & the left have ignored the border crisis for 10+ years & even fought the previous administration when they tried to secure it.
