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:
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.

“Sorry moms, the president doesn’t feel like talking to you about the baby formula shortage today”:

It *IS* unacceptable:
This is unacceptable. The President needs to communicate directly with the public on this critical issue.

Sen. Josh Hawley isn’t amused:
Sure. Because the American people don’t need to hear about the baby formula shortage – that’s the Biden line https://t.co/Sz6lNlQC7o

But did he pinky swear?
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. https://t.co/c3OBxzjbaZ

And then the regime stenographers will dutifully report what’s on this piece of paper:
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 https://t.co/4Qc0vCM3eD

Well, we expect it’s because it’s afraid there are no concrete steps these companies can take to rapidly increase the supply:
That’s peculiar, even for JRB.

And then, of course, he doesn’t have to take questions this way:
That's one way to avoid answering questions.

What a coward:
This is the first time the president is speaking on the nationwide baby formula shortage and he's not allowing press in the room https://t.co/UyTBUResMx

I’m old enough to remember this is all we had for baby formula.
It is simply too risky to the Dems to have Biden on camera without a teleprompter for more than a few minutes. Maybe someone from the press (Peter Ducey) would ask about sending baby formula to Ukraine and to the border for illegals or why the biggest baby formula factory in the USA was shut down and remains so.
Biden can only answer questions with social platitudes, angry rants or by reading from a huge flatscreen type teleprompter.
Maybe he’ll Nationalize the baby formula industry
If it isn’t fentanyl, it’s vaccines; if it isn’t vaccines, it’s baby formula; if it isn’t baby formula...
How are all those 81 million voters feeling now?????
The decrepit old fool doesn’t want us to know that he’s giving baby formula free to illegal border crossers.
It’s Putins fault. And you can just go to the border and tell them your a illegal and they will give you some.
Biden will blame Donald Trump, the Russians, them crazy mothers for the shortage. Then he will say we will have top people looking into why Abbott Nutrition is deliberately causing the shortage and raising the price etc etc...
Biden will then turn and try to shake hands where there is no one there. He will then try to molest a child that hopefully is not there.
