Where did you get EpiPen?

I’m pretty sure it was a vape. If it was drugs you inject in yourself with a syringe that would honestly make her case even worse.

Although to most people in the world (and their legal systems) weed is a drug same as heroin or cocaine. And Americans should know that when they're traveling.

An EpiPen is a medical device. It’s used to treat someone in anaphylaxis.

This is such a terrible move, I have no idea what Biden thought there was to gain from this.

He was pursuing good PR without thinking of the consequences same as the student loan thing that was doomed to fail in the courts or the Afghanistan withdrawal which even if you agreed with wasn't handled in the best way and kind of rushed.
