Biden Administration Contradicts Comments About Supply Chain Crisis and the National Guard

According to Fox News, “A White House official pushed back against President Biden's claim Thursday that he would be willing to use the National Guard to help handle the country's supply chain crisis.”

This should come as no surprise because time and time again, Biden has made empty promises that either change or he goes back on them completely. Heck, we wouldn’t be surprised if he forgot he made them in the first place.

Let’s take a deeper look at what happened. Fox News stated, “Anderson Cooper asked Biden during a CNN presidential town hall if he would consider having the people serving in the National Guard drive trucks to make up for the lack of truckers. Biden said he would, and that he also had a timetable to solve the crisis.”

However, “[a]fter Biden's comments, a White House official told CNN: ‘Requesting the use of the National Guard at the state level is under the purview of governors, and we are not actively pursuing the use of the National Guard on a federal level.’”

These statements don’t make sense together. Biden on one hand is saying that they are planning to get help from the National Guard while a White House official said otherwise. Do you think this means President Joe Biden doesn’t have the respect of his staff? Is he even in conversations that are happening behind the scenes? This whole issue raises questions about the actual security of American citizens if their government seems to contradict itself.

This is also concerning because it doesn’t take away that there is still a supply chain issue and senators are reaching out for help. Fox stated, “[i]n a letter to the president first obtained by Fox News, the Republicans asked that Biden reverse his policies relating to the coronavirus they believe have disrupted U.S. infrastructure abilities and supply chains.” The letter had a lot to say and Ranking Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Representative Sam Graves, R-Mo., who led the letter to Biden, said. “‘We request that you stop the litany of harmful regulatory actions that are driving up energy costs and to stop attacking the American businesses with vaccine mandates, taxation and government handouts that are disincentivizing work..."

It seems America is heading downhill, and we don’t know how President Joe Biden and his administration plan on fixing it.
