“The View” host Joy Behar said Monday that all Republicans “really care about” is making President Biden look bad during a conversation about the baby formula shortage, adding that inflation and high gas prices were not on him.

Guest host Lindsey Granger noted that she is a mom to a baby and that her daughter drinks formula.
“I think that parents are just frustrated by anything partisan having to do with this, because I want to know how to feed my kid,” Granger said. “And I just am asking for some guidance from the FDA and President Biden who knew that was pandemic was happening, knew there were short of supplies and knew that parents were stockpiling, then knew that Abbott closed down.
