If the baby formula shortage had happened during the Obama administration, Barack would have said that he heard about it on the news, at the same time the public did — that was sort of his answer to everything. The Biden administration has insisted that it’s been working on the baby formula shortage for months, which seems unlikely, as we’re just now having the military fly in pallets of formula from overseas. Biden said that he became aware of the problem sometime in April, while CNN was reporting on empty shelves back in February. Biden added that the CEOs knew about the impact the closing of a manufacturing plant would have, but he didn’t.
A reporter asked press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre who informed Biden about the baby formula shortage, and then pressed further when Jean-Pierre refused to answer. Isn’t there some chain of command in the White House?

What we have here, is a failure to communicate

The transparency of this administration is so… non-transparent.

He really didn’t know because he always had his formula.

Ask Joe, he'll remember…

Corrupt and inept is not a winning combination

She’s terrible at this job. People wants facts and straight answers. It’s your job to clear it up cause our president can’t complete sentences. Don’t tell us you don’t need to clear it up when it’s your job.

She requires a basic communication course, like the rest of the cabinet.

Asked last month why the administration didn’t act sooner to confront the formula shortage, Biden said that maybe they could have done that if they were “mind readers.” And that’s what the question was about … who told Biden about the crisis and when? And Jean-Pierre’s answer as usual is that the president is busy juggling so many crises of his own making that he just can’t keep up.
