Pelosi on complaints about sending baby formula to border: ‘Babies are crying, we need to get them food’

May 15, 2022 | | Print Article

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) deflected when ABC “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos asked her about the nationwide baby formula shortage.

Instead of providing more specifics about what the Democrat-controlled Congress is actually going to do about the crisis, Pelosi opted to criticize a GOP lawmaker as engaging in “irresponsible” rhetoric.

U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), has repeatedly called out the Biden administration for having no plan to solve the dire shortage, as ex-Bill Clinton operative Stephanopoulos described it, while at the same time allegedly shipping the needed formula to the southern border for the benefit of illegal aliens.

The empty shelves that American families keep seeing in stores are “unacceptable,” and the open-borders, “American Last” Biden administration is responsible, Stefanik claimed on Twitter as part of a series of similar messages.

U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) claims that she was tipped off by Border Patrol about the pallets of baby formula, a picture of which she shared on social media, that are allegedly being stockpiled for illegal immigrant families.

“As usual, her statement is totally irresponsible. Babies are crying. We need to get them food,” Pelosi responded about Stefanik in the video clip embedded above, without identifying which babies are in need.

In a somewhat incoherent manner, Pelosi then rattled off the names of her Democrat legislative colleagues and their committee jurisdictions that no one cares about and how they supposedly will address the shortfall.

These efforts supposedly will “lower some of the regulations, et cetera, so that it’s easier to buy…50 percent of WIC — so loosening that,” Pelosi asserted.

The federal WIC appropriation is known as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.

Another committee, according to Pelosi, will attempt to provide “some funding, so that we can immediately purchase overseas…Chile, Mexico, Ireland, the Netherlands that have supply that might be available to us.”

“The president is quite correct. We must do something as quickly as possible, but as safely as possible, and use caution for these babies. But we have to move quickly to do that,” Pelosi insisted. “And part of this is, again, the supply chain issue.”

The Biden administration, however, still has not effectively addressed supply chain disruptions even after all this time.

Stefanik, the third-ranking House Republican and Trump supporter, as well as a new mom, has said that she’s been warning the Biden administration since February about the formula shortage, to no avail.

According to Stefanik, Joe Biden “has totally failed babies, parents, and families.”

On Friday, “Pelosi sent a letter to her fellow Democratic colleagues that indicated the House plans to consider a bill that will give emergency authority to the WIC (Women, Infant and Children) program to address supply chain disruptions and recalls that led to the shortage,” The Hill reported.

Although Stefanik, a rising star in the Republican Party, describes herself as Ultra-Maga, she did vote in favor of the additional $40 billion appropriation for Ukraine even as the baby formula crisis, and other serious domestic issues, go unresolved.

Former President Trump hardly was shy about condemning the idea of  more cash going to eastern Europe given the ongoing needs at home:

“The Democrats are sending another $40 billion to Ukraine, yet America’s parents are struggling to even feed their children…it’s is a national disgrace…It is unthinkable that in the year 2022, American families are unable to get baby formulas for their children…American First!”

  2. Fk off pig losi ,you know what’s going on you disgusting prick of a bitch.
    May you burn in hell .for eternity.
    God will get you .

  4. This is self inflicted, go back to your country of origin to get fed, and don’t come back here.
    The Demonrat hypocrisy is so evident, and they and they alone are responsible for this entire mess.

  5. There doesn’t seem to be a supply chain issue when it comes to illegal aliens detained at the southern border.

  6. One thing is crystal clear…..the demonrats DO NOT care about the American people and especially don’t care about American babies. Just look how hard they fight for the right to MURDER innocent babies as guiltless as JESUS CHRIST himself. That shows by thier actions where thier hearts are,but guess what…..the only thing that we take with us when we die is our actions and by our actions shall we be judged. I would hate to be them

  7. Pelosi is literally, literally taking the food out of the mouths of legal US Citizens who happen to be babies … and giving it to people who are breaking laws just by being here. I identify as Catholic and see the problem unfolding before my very eyes. Those people may want a better life an by illegal means enter the country … need to understand that there isn’t enough, food, housing, medical care, an other resources to take care of the legal US Citizens, let along the rest of the world. Time to close the border !

  9. SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL PELOUSY THAT AMERICAN BABIES CRY TOO, WHEN THEY GET HUNGRY. We should be deporting these illegals, not ushering them into this country. Obey the law, come legally! There is a way to do that, and the democrat party is fostering breaking our laws!! They all took an oath, but quickly forgot it, it seems. All should be fired!!

    1. For democrats, their oaths of office are a formality and are quickly forgotten. I think they cross their fingers behind their backs, too, just for good measure.

  10. Pelosi, the head if the snake, like other Democrats, are fk-N morons, LIARS and clueless. I hope the get their asses kicked in the next election cycle so we can get this Country back on the track it was once was.

  12. Maybe we could confiscate some of her famille’s reported 290 million dollar fortune….she can put her “mouth and money” behind this ….and smile afterwards. Basically, this woman is a pice of sht….and spouts religion and love for illegals over everyone and everything else….except for money.

  13. This coming from a sociopath, who wouldn’t hesitate to advise women to first abort then flush. Translation: I’m pandering votes.

    1. THIS is what Biden voters wanted and voted for. As for Pelsoi she is just one of many one of many in both political parties who were more than willing to sell their soul and their country for money, power and votes. Most who are re-elected umpteen times.

  14. Put breast pumps on on the members of Congress and take a Congressional photo for posterity.

  15. What”? is WRONG with ‘catholic”Pelosi? She “WANTS” babies “dead” in the womb, AND 28 days after LIVE BIRTH. “NOW”, she wants infant FORMULA, that Biden’s “stockpiled” on the border for migrants, yet American parents can’t get ANY food, for “THEIR” KIDS? “If you’re BLACK, Hispanic, Haitian, OR “just” NOT WHITE, “THEN”, you “MAY” be able to get “formula” @ the border. REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER! “:Does””ANYBODY” EVER “remember” when America has been so low? I’m 73, & my parents are “turning over in their graves”.”THEY” lived thru the DEPRESSION, WW 2, “lived on farms”, rationing “everything” for the War effort, did without, so AMERICA could win the WAR! Well, we’re right back “where” we started from. EXCEPT “that” it’s NOW not 1945, BUT 2022! “WE” have no “hero’s””except the Green Berets, Special Ops, & “everybody” that the GovT CHOOSES to “get rid of”.”Thank God” for our “special forces” that “know” what’s right AND “follow” thru. America is “PROUD OF YOU”!

  17. Democrats put America last! They are the most deceitful and lie to the people more than any prior administration in history!

  18. George and Nancy. TWO SCUMBAGS doing what they do best>>BULL$ITTING each other, while BULLSHITTING us.

  20. The bacteria was last year, the source never proven, took them until February to shut the plant down, but did nothing to inspect and allow them to resume, even though it was 40% of all the formula produced in the U.S., which also has expiration dates, we were already down 25% on shelves back then. Yet we let over 1.2 million cross our border and provide them free baby formula. That’s our money, we should be able to dictate we want it back. If they provide free transportation thruout the U.S., why not just ship them back to their own countries for less and they wouldn’t need all the formula at the border?

  21. How sad and babies should starve from lack of formula. Why would one leave home to come to a foreign country and not expect crisis? The crisis is a Joe Biden made crisis of lack of leadership and order at the border,and American babies are paying the price for his incompetency.

  22. O, the poor babies ! Well, they weren’t “invited” here. HEY NANCY, Americans come first !! And aren’t YOU “supposed” to be “representing” us, the taxpayers, your EMPLOYER, or are ILLEGALS more important ?? You make me SICK !!! You’ve been taking up space and drawing a paycheck from taxpayers for WAY TOO LONG !

  23. You’ve put your finger on the problem Nancy. When you encourage and allow hundreds of thousands of people into the country, you have to feed them. Then, there is less for Americans. Maybe you have to prioritize Americans? Hey! That sounds like a plan.

  25. The local grocery store I shop in had empty formula shelves this week, but I guess Pelosi is fine with babies in Maine going hungry. Why don’t the mothers at the border breastfeed? According to Bette Midler, it’s super easy and always available.

    1. It’s what happens when radical leftists are in charge. I’m waiting for them to claim abortion is necessary given the shortage of formula.

  28. How about we send the illegal and their broods back to their countries and let their governments feed them. Maybe Nancy should run for office in Guatemala.

  30. Wonder what those crying babies ate on the long trek across Mexico to get to our border? Care to speculate, Pelosi?

  31. This is all planned out … administration doesn’t care about Americans and continues to do what they can to destroy American citizens and act like it’s their fault. This rhetoric and constant ignorance towards this country is really sickening. Pelosi just follows along like a good little doggy doing what the bosses say.

  32. Gotta wonder if this is anything like Climate Change and gas prices forcing Electric Vehicles? Can’t feed babies so we need to make abortions available?

  33. Perhaps if the Democrats hadn’t caused the illegal influx problem,there would be no shortage of formula

  35. Biden did say there would be shortages. Why do I think this is all part of the plan? Outraged Americans. Isn’t that what they want?

    1. Outraged not so much, more like defeated, dejected, depressed,desperate ready to accept any promise of democrats.
      Outraged people fight back, defeated people accept.

  36. Yes Nancy, babies are crying and lots of them belong to tax paying Americans. Where do your loyalties lie> Surely not with American citizens.

  37. Typical insane BS from crazy nancy….she needs to go home and clean up the crap that is piling up the streets of San Fran. The democrats have no idea how to correct any of the problems that they have created.

  38. Illegals before citizens? Even though citizens foot the bill, their babies can just starve, because bidens and pelousy’s illegals come first, don’t you know??? Democrats, do your jobs! You have the gavel—ACT! American citizens’ babies need fed first, IMO! They are at least LEGAL!

    1. The illegals will vote for them. The citizens are proving they are aware of who is responsible for the CRT education, increase in the cost of food, gas, clothes, etc. This makes our $15 per hour increase worth about $10 an hour.
