President Joe Biden will meet with manufacturers today to discuss the baby formula shortage, but it’s closed to the press. So much for democracy dies in darkness:
John Roberts (@johnrobertsFox) ~ Correction - @JoeBiden WILL hold a @whitehouse event on the baby formula shortage. There will be NO COVERAGE of the event. Press corps will get a read out in a press call after the event.
Kelsey Bolar (Harkness) (@kelseybolar) ~ Sorry moms, the president doesn't feel like talking to you about the baby formula shortage today.
Joe Biden is a quivering, cowering pussy.
Laura G (@LaurasMiscMovie) ~ This is unacceptable. The President needs to communicate directly with the public on this critical issue.
Well, to steal from Ron White ... "Joe Biden has the duty to communicate with the public, but he doesn't have the ability."
Sen. Josh Hawley isn’t amused:
Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) ~ Sure. Because the American people don’t need to hear about the baby formula shortage - that’s the Biden line.
But did he pinky swear?
Jake Schneider (@jacobkschneider) ~ Biden's plan for tackling the massive nationwide baby formula shortage is holding an event nobody will see, then putting out a piece of paper SWEARING they're doing something about it. I don't think that comes as much comfort to desperate parents.
And then the regime stenographers will dutifully report what’s on this piece of paper:
Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) ~ Absurd. And the broadcast network newscasts (and probably CNN and MSNBC) will totally just report tonight whatever Biden says like they work for Jen Psaki instead of publicly raise hell over this.
Well, we expect it’s because he’s afraid there are no concrete steps these companies can take to rapidly increase the supply.
And then, of course, he doesn’t have to take questions this way:
Darla (@DarlaDene) ~ That's one way to avoid answering questions.
Biden only "answers" preapproved questions, anyway.
What a coward:
Amber Athey (@amber_athey) ~ This is the first time the president is speaking on the nationwide baby formula shortage and he's not allowing press in the room.
