Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome American Mom Anne Funder.
Anne Funder: Hi. My name is Anne Funder, and I am the wife and mother of four children. I’m standing here today to share the tragic reality of open borders. I’m here to share the story of my first born son, my everything, my Weston. My family and I were living in Southern California when President Biden took office and opened our borders.
My Weston was 15. He was an amazing big brother to his three younger siblings. Weston attended church twice a week, played football and hockey, and he loved to surf. He had a big heart and he lived to make people laugh. He had so many good friends. And I was always vigilant to be the best mother that I can be.
As room mom, school ambassador and I attended all of his sports. We had family dinners and barbecues at the beach. And like most teenagers, Weston wanted to fit in. And in a moment of peer pressure, he tried something that someone gave to him, and it took my baby’s life. We did everything right. I had those conversations with him, and fentanyl still found my son.
And on February 27th, 2022, our lives were shattered and our baby was gone.
This was not an overdose. It was a poisoning. His whole future, everything we ever wanted for him was ripped away in an instant. And Joe Biden does nothing. I hold Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the Border Tzar, what a joke, and Gavin Newsom, and every Democrat who supports open border is responsible for the death of my son . . .
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
. . . and the tens of thousands of American innocent children. For that alone, they should be voted out of office.
Audience Joe must go . . .
Joe must go. Absolutely.
We have seen the highest number of fentanyl deaths during the Biden-Harris administration, and fentanyl is now the number one killer of Americans ages 18 to 45. And it is quickly becoming the leading cause of death for teens, with 14 and under being the fastest growing demographic. We need President Trump back in office. We need a president who will seal the border, aggressively prosecute drug dealers and stop communist China from poisoning our children.
This is not a red or blue issue. This is a red, white and blue issue. And fentanyl doesn’t care if you’re black or white. It does not discriminate. This is an American issue. We need a president who will call the drug cartels what they are, terrorist organizations.
This fight is not for me. My son is gone. This fight is for your children. We owe it to our children to elect a president who will win the war against fentanyl once and for all.
It’s too late for my son, Weston. Say his name, Joe Biden, Weston. Thank you.
But we can change this for your children. We need President Trump back to save the lives of our kids. Thank you. God bless America.
