This is one of the reasons it’s really just about impossible to have conversations with the hardcore leftists: they take a small conversation and dial it up to 11, as we see from this Rolling Stone piece
‘Pro-Life’ Conservatives Are Mad the Government Isn’t Letting Migrant Infants Starve to Death
There’s a baby formula shortage in the United States. Republican lawmakers and conservative media members are taking frustration out on immigrants.
Fox News hosts have spent the past 24 hours raising hell over immigrant babies at the U.S.-Mexico border receiving formula, arguing that it should instead be distributed to Americans first. “[For] American families there’s a shortage, but if you’re a migrant, don’t worry because Uncle Sam has a stash of that,” Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy said Friday morning.
Doocy is not wrong. There’s more than plenty of baby formula available for those who come in illegally/show up and demand asylum, people who have seen the Democrat talking points and taken long treks with babies, putting them at risk.The RS piece makes no attempt to show that Doocy is wrong.
The first photo is from this morning at the Ursula Processing Center at the U.S. border. Shelves and pallets packed with baby formula.
The second is from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce.

The subject became fodder for right-wing xenophobia earlier this week, with Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) on Wednesday tweeting a picture of what she said was “shelves and pallets packed with baby formula” at the Ursula Processing Center in McAllen, Texas. She contrasted that with a picture of a bare store shelf, writing, “This is what America last looks like.”
“Xenophobic.” But, she’s not wrong. Nor are the other Republicans mentioned in the screed.
The care of infants in U.S. detention centers, unsurprisingly, is the responsibility of U.S. officials, and immigrants can’t just leave to try to find formula themselves. Yet Abbott’s fellow “pro-life” Republicans — including Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop and Texas Rep. Troy Nehls — are essentially suggesting that the government let the infants of immigrants starve to death.
So, see, Republicans are just pointing out what’s going on, so, it means they want illegal alien babies to starve. Freaking leftist nutjobs.
