Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler dismissed concerns the Biden administration was sending baby formula to border facilities during a nationwide shortage Thursday. Parents have been struggling to find the essential commodity in stores, with supply dipping to 43% below normal, according to Datasembly, which tracks product data for retailers. However, Kessler defended the administration's actions and called the concerns "faux outrage." "This is a ridiculous faux outrage. The shortage of baby formula is a serious issue that the administration is seeking to address. But at the same time, the administration cannot be faulted for following the law and providing baby

Well, the optics definitely look bad, but I sort of side with the Washington Post on this. If they took all the baby formula from these facilities were the illegal immigrants are, it probably wouldn’t be enough to satisfy a couple of grocery stores of normal inventory, of course I’m assuming that.
No, the president is an apt and everything else he’s doing and this is no doubt a result of supply chain and other policies that have been going on but, I just don’t think there’s enough formula at these places to make a dent in the market.

American Baby Food should be for American Babies. Illegal aliens should be informed that food for them and their spawn is back where they came from. And the sooner they leave the sooner they will be fed. We don't want you and you are not welcome.

When are people going to realize Prez Demento O'biden cares nothing about the average American. If he did, the invasion on the border would be stopped by a wall like Stretch Pelosi put around the Capitol for our elite's safety.

“… cannot be faulted for following the law…?
Really? Some laws are ignored because they’re inconvenient for the liberal agenda, but other laws are fine because they help the agenda.

EVERYTHING that the ComPost puts out is leftist propaganda.
This is just more of the same old stuff.

Shut down the border airtight and no illegals will be detained because they won't be able to cross in the first place. Problem solved. This solution is obviously not an option for the current administration, as their sole objective is to CREATE as many problems and as much chaos as possible for Americans.

Glenn Kessler said "Anyone who suggests this is the result of specific Biden policies, i.e., his ‘reckless, out-of-touch priorities,’ earns Four Pinocchios,". It is Bidens policies on not enforcing immigration laws and not buying the border wall that caused the illegals to enter the country. I give Kessler five Pinocchios for that statement.

Kessler is fact challenged, as usual. This is not faux outrage. This is outrage caused by using overpriced gas to drive long distances to get the certain kinds of formula the infants require. This is outrage caused by an administration seeking to inflict maximum damage on Americans in a variety of ways on a daily basis. Every day is death by 1000 cuts and 2000 mules.

Maybe they have to follow this law, but shouldn't they have recognized the baby formula shortage and done something about it instead of waiting until it became a crisis? The Biden administration is back on its heels again. Will they pay the price at the polls?

I slightly prefer fake outrage to fake fact checking. Though maybe more than slightly...

FJB is consistent. Selective enforcement of laws as long as it fits the anarchic leftist agenda, America last, and leading from behind. Supposedly there are 81 million voters that agree with Brandon. I would like to see all the supporters of this regime wear signs around their necks saying "I DID THIS!"

If the biden/hussien administration would enforce the law, baby formula would not be needed at the border. It is ILLEGAL to cross over the border into the United States. could fi this mess in 2 seconds. CLOSE THE BORDER

It's acceptable to this administration that American babies go without formula, and acceptable to Glenn Kessler that this administration redirected scarce supplies of baby formula to the illegal aliens Joe Biden invited to flood our nation. How telling that Biden put illegal aliens with faux asylum claims at the front of the line. He really doesn't care about Americans.
Biden's America: FREE baby formula for illegal aliens, empty shelves for law abiding Americans, and an elitist scolding to the nation from Mr. Glenn Kessler, who proclaims responsible parents and the American people guilty of 'Faux Outrage." As if we've done something to deserve this treatment.

Hungry American babies while Biden is giving away our supplies to foreign invaders... It's unfortunate that Kessler doesn't know me, or he would understand that MY OUTRAGE IS VERY VERY REAL!

Yeah, I kind of feel bad complaining about paying $4.50 per gallon of gas while those unfortunate Californians must shell out $6.00 for the same thing. I need to learn to count my blessings and respect my betters in Washington who are working so hard to Build Back Better. I apologize to Joe and to the new misinformation lady in the event I triggered her radar in some way.

I've noticed that "the government" only follows the law when it suits them. And right now it suits them to starve American infants.

Supplies for babies should come from the nearest distributor on their own side of the border. U.S. infants should get from U.S. distributors, and Mexican infants from Mexican distributors.

Calling Pete Butt Gig ...
You know, the Truck Driver Secretary with twins and a husband.
For some reason I suspect Pete's got a closet full of organic baby food.
All you normal people can just wait in line at Kroger's

Biden has known about the impending baby food shortage since FEBRUARY. That's when they shut down the Abbott fsctory in Michigan, the largest plant in the US.
They shut it down because 2 babies died from salmonella. Abbott preserves stocks of the lot numbers they produce. But separate testing both by Abbott and the FDA found no contamination to explain the deaths. So the FDA is white glove inspecting the Abbott factory and labelling issues. And Abbott says it will take 10 weeks to resume full production after they get FDA clearance.
This sounds a lot like the gross incompetence shown in the Afghanistan pullout. Only now, babies may perish.

More like Faux Fact Checker. There would be no reason to stockpile baby formula at the border if millions of illegal immigrants had not been allowed to invade. Note that the Lamestream media would have gladly kept this story covered up.
