President Joe Biden is receiving some backlash after laughing while referencing a mother who lost two sons to fentanyl poisoning; “shameful and embarrassing,” said Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) of Biden’s reaction.
“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,” Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted along with a clip of the mother.

While discussing Greene’s comments and the loss of the mother’s sons, Biden laughed.
“I should digress, probably, I’ve read, she, 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,” Biden said while laughing.
