Biden Has Failed America’s Mothers

Mother’s Day Is A Time To Celebrate And Recognize The Sacrifices Of Mothers Across America – Unfortunately, Under Biden, It’s Never Been Harder To Be A Mother

MOMS ARE GETTING HIT ESPECIALLY HARD UNDER BIDENFLATION

• Due to Biden’s failed leadership, Moms are now having to work much harder to make ends meet and put food on the table.

  • Prices for menstrual products like tampons and pads soared under Biden—tampons increased by 11 percent and pads by 9 percent.

  • Biden’s Department of Agriculture announced it will take away meal funding for low-income and disadvantaged kids at schools if the school does not allow biological males to play in women’s sports.
  • All the while, female athletes continue to suffer injuries while competing against biological males and the White House refuses to address it as a women’s rights issue.
• The Biden administration even changed federal prison policy to let prisoners be incarcerated with the gender they identify as, including letting biological males be housed with female inmates.

BIDEN’S AMERICA-LAST AGENDA HAS LEFT MOTHERS HEARTBROKEN

    • The families of the fallen service members are demanding accountability from the Biden administration, with one mom saying, “we deserve to know the truth and not ask for the truth — and I want to hear Biden saying our kids’ names.”
