A Michigan mom whose two sons died of fentanyl overdoses has slammed President Biden 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 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.
Rebecca Kiessling slammed President Biden as “despicable” in a scathing online video Wednesday night after he laughed off the false claim that his administration was to blame for her sons’ deaths.
“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.

The devil laughs at human life.
Biden is such a fool and embarassment.
Sometimes, I get mad at myself for wishing extremely negative outcomes for him. Rube Goldberg style.
That’s not real nice of me.
This video is going to be played a million times. Biden really stepped into it this time.
Joe should take lots of Vit D for his Dementia
There is nothing funny about any of it. Nothing at all. You can be serious and have a discussion, but there was something ugly and repulsive about those despicable Leftist pieces of crap laughing it up with him.
Biden is a liberal democrap.
He only cares about forcing people to live as he sees fit.
I am sorry for her loss and her abuse by Biden, but she said “Because a congresswoman misspoke?”
MTG most assuredly DID NOT “misspeak.” She told the truth.
That’s not real nice of me.
I feel the same.
To blame it on Trump who hasn’t been around for 2 and a half years... Like the drugs have been sitting in a bag somewhere in someone’s pocket waiting to be taken......
😡
Either Biden’s dementia didn’t allow him to understand the seriousness of this situation or he is a cold hearted hate filled murderous Leftist.
Either way, he is unfit to serve.
In what way was the claim false? As a consequence of this administration's policies, are the borders secure or are they wide open and fentanyl is flowing in like a sieve?
F you, Emily. Are you reporting news, or offering an opinion piece?
The sons died on Trump’s watch.
Fentanyl can not be stopped by law enforcement.
FDA quality controlled opiates need to be made available in ‘junkievilles’ (in far-off locations).
The despicable ba$tard cares only about one thing! (D) and that’s it........
Yep, McConnell and Ryan didn't fully fund his wall in his first two years.
The sons died on Trump’s watch.
Oh, OK, so that makes it perfectly fine to chuckle about it?
Where’s my golf club....
Suceptibility to addiction is fundamental to the human makeup.
It needs to be accepted as such but practiced in the’closet’.
But Trump was trying to close the border. How many mothers have lost their children because of open borders.
Biden will laugh at a mother who lost her children while that despicable crypt master drags the coffin of his dead son around trying to claim he died in service.
Biden lost mental fitness to be president before his 2020 electors got a single vote.
