Anne Funder took the podium at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Tuesday to continue the night's theme of chronicling America's decline under President Joe Biden by highlighting the dangers of deadly drugs in an emotional speech and partially blaming support for open borders by Democrats for the death of her son.
Funder is a mother from California whose 15-year-old son, Weston, died of an accidental fentanyl overdose in 2022.
The Republican National Convention is in Milwaukee through Thursday, where former President Donald Trump will formally accept the party’s nomination Thursday for the 2024 Election.

Who is she: From California, Funder is a mom whose 15-year-old son Weston died from an accidental fentanyl overdose in 2022.
What role does she play: Convention speaker
Quote: "I hold Joe Biden, Kamala Harris the border czar, what a joke, and Gavin Newsom and every Democrat who supports open borders responsible for the death of my son and the tens of thousands of innocent American children. For that alone, they should be voted out of office." (Funder speaks at around the 3:18 mark in the video above.)
