They've blamed him for the gas shortage in the eastern and southern parts of the country, they've even blamed him for the shortage in lumber. And now, conservatives are blaming Democratic President Joe Biden for a shortage in Chick-fil-A dipping sauce.
Yes, you read that correctly. Fox News actually ran an article blaming "Joe Biden's America" for the chicken chain's decision to ration its sauce.

And Twitter is mercilessly mocking them for it.
They gonna blame the McDonald\u2019s ice cream machine being broken on him too, just watch.https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1392602776404910084\u00a0\u2026— Steph of House Moderna (@Steph of House Moderna) 1620859432
To be fair, Fox News is simply taking its cues from Republicans like Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert who have posted ridiculous, histrionic tweets blaming Biden for the sauce shortage.
Joe Biden is destroying America.https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2021/05/12/chick-fil-a-limits-sauces-order-due-shortage/\u00a0\u2026— Ted Cruz (@Ted Cruz) 1620848390
Conservatives followed suit, parroting Republican politician's sauce claims.
In a tweet, Cruz cited the Chick-fil-A situation as evidence Biden is "destroying America."
Boebert, in a quote-tweet of an article about the sauce shortage, queried, "Is there no limit to how awful Biden's America can get?"

Obviously, this entire thing is ridiculous, but Fox News has chosen to treat it as legitimate news.
What they have not chosen to do, however, is explain in any way, shape or form how President Biden is at fault for Chick-fil-A bogarting all those sauce packets.
A Chick-fil-A spokesperson attributed the shortage to "industrywide supply chain disruptions." Several industries, from the aforementioned lumber to automobiles to electronics and, yes, restaurants, are experiencing shortages in all sorts of supplies due to production slowdowns and labor shortages resulting from the pandemic.
Stockpiles from before the pandemic are finally running out.
Given the pandemic predated the Biden Administration by nearly a year, it's difficult to suss out how these shortages are Biden's fault.
On Twitter, people did not hesitate to let the network know what they thought about their article.
This is the dumbest headline ever. I literally cannot believe that this is not an Onion article.

This page is getting more pathetic by the day lmao. Imagine blaming a sauce shortage on Biden with a straight face lol. It\u2019s the type of headline you would see on a parody account.— hurb Dontana (@hurb Dontana) 1620869404
I will *always* take "Joe Biden's America" \u2014 where apparently a Chick-fil-A sauce shortage is considered a national crisis worthy of writing about over @FoxNews \u2014 over the clusterf*ck of a #COVID disaster zone that was "Trump's America."\n\nEvery.\n\nSingle.\n\nTime. https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1392602776404910084\u00a0\u2026pic.twitter.com/o1MxvW9dos— Dean Wallace \ud83d\uddf3\ud83d\uddfd (@Dean Wallace \ud83d\uddf3\ud83d\uddfd) 1620875967
If things are going so well that the worst thing we have to complain about is a sauce shortage then we\u2019re doing great.— John (@John) 1620857440
This has to be parody, right?https://twitter.com/foxnews/status/1392602776404910084\u00a0\u2026— justjess (@justjess) 1620877415
Anyway, in case you're worried about your favorite Chick-fil-A sauce running out, the company says they are "actively working" to solve the problem.
Phew! A national emergency has been averted.
