A Florida Republican maintains that the Biden administration has filled processing stations for illegal immigrants with baby formula, while everyday American families face empty store shelves.
In a Facebook video posted Wednesday, Rep. Kat Cammack showed a photo that she said was sent to her by a Border Patrol agent. It showed shelves filled to capacity with canned formula, and she noted: “pallets and more pallets” of formula were still arriving.
Meanwhile, the Gainesville Republican added, baby the “empty-shelves Biden movement” has American families struggling and wondering how they will feed their infants.
“This is what America last looks like. This is 100-percent what it looks like,” said Cammack, after juxtaposing the photo of the border facility with a store in her district, which includes Gainesville, Ocala, and runs northwest toward Jacksonville.
“If that doesn’t infuriate you, I don’t know what will.”
“I find that absolutely inexcusable, unconscionable, that they are doing this,” Cammack said.
Cammack added that House Republicans were demanding answers from the administration, which she added is “crushing the middle class.”
“You gotta pay attention to what is going on here. This is what happens when you have an America-last president,” she said.
Cammack identified the facility as Ursala. That is in the border town of McAllen, Texas. She said the photos came from a 30-year veteran of the Border Patrol who is a grandfather and is watching his own grandchildren go without.
Cammack also posted the photos to her Twitter account.
In a second video posted later on Wednesday, she encouraged constituents and viewers of the post to call Democrats on Capitol Hill and demand that they pressure the Biden administration “put the baby formula back on the shelves for American kids and secure the damn border.”
She said Republicans needed such public pressure because the GOP minority has “zero leverage” to effect change from Democrats in the majority.
Cammack said no one should blame the children receiving the formula.
Still, “This should infuriate you. This is your tax dollars going to buy formula for the children that are being used as pawns” by human traffickers.
“It’s pretty disgusting,” said Cammack.
