"Chick-fil-A has a sauce shortage. And you want to know why? Because of Joe Biden's radical liberal policies"

Last week, Chick-Fil-A announced that because of supply chain difficulties, it was limiting the amount of sauce it was giving to customers. And some far-right Republicans, insanely, are blaming President Joe Biden for the sauce shortage the fast food chain is experiencing.

The wingnuts pointing the finger at Biden include Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt. Cruz, who is never shy about making ludicrous statements, tweeted:

On Twitter, Boebert — a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy cult — posted:

Far-right wingnuts have a long history of coming up with ridiculous lines of attack against Democratic presidents. The late radio host Rush Limbaugh, in 2009, blamed President Barack Obama for the death of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, claiming that Jackson had given up on life thanks to Obama's presidency.

Stitt is using the claim that Biden caused Chick-Fil-A's sauce shortage as a cynical fundraising opportunity. A fundraising e-mail from the Oklahoma governor read, "Chick-fil-A has a sauce shortage. And you want to know why? Because of Joe Biden's radical liberal policies."

1. That's peculiar, because Kroger is selling Chick-Fil-A sauce in pint bottles for $4 each.

We have a bottle of original and Polynesian.

5. You're absolutely right

And is Walmart etc. And the interweb is loaded with recipes on how to make your own.

Why, oh why, is CNN and other "MSMs" reporting on this nonsense? I'm going to write to the MSM viewer feedback links to highlight this. If enough people do that, they might pull this.

Of all the things in the world, this is beyond absurd. But absurdity becomes reality if it is allowed to continue and propagate.

I don't do Twitter or Facebook, but if someone who knew how could respond to Ted Cruz etc with this kind of info, that would help too.

6. Saw all kinds of it on a shelf at Meijer last night.

2. My Electricity Went Out Yesterday

My cat has fleas, and I can’t sleep. I’m blaming Biden for all of those things and more!

3. Here's the difference b/n Biden and Trump:

If this "crisis" had occurred while Trump were in the WH, he'd "twitter" that he made a loud and angry phonecall to the CEO of Chic-A-Fil and the problem solved. But the shortage would not abate. But the MAGAts would be happy that their guy did something. Results are secondary.

4. Fun fact: 500,000 people died during Trump's disaster

7. Why would anyone on this board support this corporation that plows corp profits into

taking down gay rights, women's rights and the Democratic party? They are against everything "we" stand for. How can we teach kids about economic justice when their "Democratic" parents are giving money to the very corporations that want to take them down?

It seems more and more GQP stories are bumped and commented on rather than Democratic articles.
