The baby formula shortage in this country is real, and as we’ve previously reported, the Biden White House unsurprisingly has been caught disturbingly flatfooted in response to the crisis. Infuriated parents with babies across America discovered this week that baby formula pallets were found near the border. This is a sharp contrast to what one finds in the aisles at drug and grocery stores throughout the country.
Because this situation makes the Biden administration look even more incompetent with each passing day that there’s a shortage, The Usual Suspects are trying to rush to the rescue in blaming everyone but Biden’s ongoing supply chain crisis for the fact that some women are having to drive hundreds of miles to (hopefully) find baby formula for their children.
One such media figure was MSDNC’s Stephanie Ruhle, one of the network’s leading Democrat apologists, who took to the Twitter machine to blame “an amazing secret oligopoly” and “hugely restrictive regulations” for the crisis.
In response to Ruhle’s tweet, hacktress Bette Midler weighed in with a hot take that she probably now regrets posting. “TRY BREASTFEEDING!” she exclaimed. “It’s free and available on demand”:
BREASTFEEDING IS A GREAT WAY TO GET FIT! It’s free and available on demand. https://t.co/15xetgg1ps

Think about opening your mouth to insert your foot.
A mother might choose to breastfeed or use baby formula for a variety of reasons, according to a few of the women who were criticized by Midler.
Not if you’ve had a prophylactic double mastectomy… https://t.co/VvyXs9FAqG

This tweet’s ignorance is shocking. There are many mommies undergoing cancer and other medical treatments that would love to breastfeed but they don’t want to harm their infants while fighting for their own lives. https://t.co/5jM4Jb74dF

Our child was suffering from hunger so we switched to formula. This is still contrary to the recommendation of our consultant. She felt guilty about giving up, and my wife was unable to fall asleep for many weeks. While I don’t consider myself a woman, it is clear to me that women have a greater need for this.

This doesn’t work for everybody.
Some people are unable to breastfeed.
Some folks go dry quickly.
Some babies bellies can’t handle breast milk and have to use formula.
Some folks just don’t want to.It isn’t the answer you believe it to be, and it doesn’t solve all of your problems. https://t.co/tBLPajYx2Y

All mothers may not be able to make you dumbass. It’s pretty offensive and sad for you to assume they can. I’ve witnessed, firsthand the unjust guilt a new mother feels when they want to breastfeed and aren’t able to. That makes matters worse. You’re a terrible human being. https://t.co/3E1fcBj8vl

Even some in Bette’s own “woke” fanbase took her to task:
Imagine a gay community with many members who have children and are raised in two-dad families.

Then there was this.
Learning before tweeting ignorant things and having some compassion is also free and available on demand https://t.co/HMOZxBIPDW

As it turns out, “learning before tweeting” and “having some compassion” on Twitter are also in short supply in this country, especially when it comes to elitist, out of touch celebrities with way too much time on their hands.
