'This is unacceptable': Biden's baby formula forum is CLOSED to the press

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.

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
