NY Times Accuses ‘Xenophobic’ GOP of ‘Weaponizing’ Baby Formula Crisis

The current baby formula shortage crisis was predictable, notwithstanding President Biden’s claim about having to be a mind-reader to see it coming: A story warning of shortages appeared in the Wall Street Journal back in January.

Also predictable: The New York Times circling the wagons to protect the Democratic president’s reputation from unfair, even “xenophobic” Republican attacks.

Congressional correspondent Annie Karni on Friday covered the White House’s modest response in “Pressed to Act, White House Says It Will Address Formula Shortage.”

The announcement came as Republicans, sharpening their attacks on Mr. Biden and Democrats before midterm congressional elections, sought to weaponize the baby formula shortage. It was further evidence for their claim that unified Democratic rule in Washington had led to inflation, high gas prices and other economic challenges, they said.
