One of the contrasts that the liberal left loves to make when comparing Joe Biden to Donald Trump is that they say at least Biden is “caring” and “compassionate.” That certainly is NOT what was on display when the current President laughed while talking about fentanyl deaths that occurred under President Trump.
Biden laughed and appeared to trivialize the deaths of two men who died of fentanyl overdoses, all in an effort to bash Republicans.
Speaking at the House Democratic Caucus Issues Conference, Biden bashed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (MGT) (R-Ga.), saying that if the Republican Party elects a few more lawmakers like her, then the majority of Republicans will be “running” to embrace the Democratic Party.
“Isn’t she amazing?” Biden mocked. “Oof.”
The President immediately followed up by invoking Michigan mother, Rebecca Kiessling, whose two sons — Caleb, 20, and Kyler, 18 — died of fentanyl overdoses. Kiessling testified before the House Homeland Security Committee, where she pleaded with lawmakers to increase border security and narcotics interception.
In his speech, Biden made sure to emphasize that Kiessling’s sons died when Donald Trump was President, and not himself.
“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 is that fentanyl they took came during the last administration,” Biden said, letting out a laugh.
Apparently, this was meant to be another jab at MTG referring to accusations that the Georgia Congresswoman made. CNN accused her of blaming Biden for the deaths of Kiessling’s sons.
