The baby formula shortage has caused parents all over the country to do whatever they can to find a formula to feed their infants, including heading south of the border. Recently, Joe Biden said that nobody could have seen the shortage getting so bad. This came while dozens of videos and reports have given an in-depth look at families having to drive hours to get a formula that might not even be the right brand. But now, as the shortage is on the brink of yet another crisis for the Biden administration, the President announced he has taken measures to insure infants don’t go hungry. Still, while Biden is now addressing the problem, news outlets like CNN were stunned how the White House wasn’t informed on the issue.

While once being a massive supporter of the Biden administration, CNN has seen its viewership dwindle over the last year. Their CNN+ was considered an utter disaster as it didn’t last longer than two months. Not to mention, CNN had to fire a great deal of staff, but not before giving them their welcome package for being part of a team that no longer existed.

Either way, CNN’s Jake Tapper discussed Biden and the baby formula shortage, stating, “I guess I still just don’t fully understand why you didn’t tell the president until April if the problem was reported to the FDA last fall. The FDA didn’t check it out until I think December. And then they shut down the factory in February. The president, the guy who’s the only one who can invoke the defense production act to force companies to produce this incredibly direly needed infant formula, he’s not told until April.”

As can be seen in the video above, Brian Deese stated that the FDA had taken the necessary steps after the Abbott facility was shut down and that “relevant officials” were focused on the effort to fix the issue. The only problem, it seems President Biden isn’t a relevant official. “The FDA took the appropriate measures to shut down the facility in February. And when that happened, the FDA and the relevant officials from across the government were focused on the effort to try to increase production from other producers and also figure out how quickly they could get that facility back online.”

During the first year of Biden as POTUS, many critics claimed that Amtrak Joe was nothing more than a puppet in the White House for the Democratic Party. While the accusations were just that, there were numerous examples where Biden was left out of conversations or simply didn’t know. The baby formula shortage was just the latest blunder. And speaking of blunders, at the end of the CNN segment, Deese’s camera fell over.
