Kat Cammack stated on <a href=\"https:\/\/fb.watch\/c_aYuPDDZe\/\">Facebook<\/a> that she didn\u2019t blame the immigrant children for having the formula, but said the Biden administration was again implementing its \u201cAmerica Last\u201d agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not the children\u2019s fault at all,\u201d she asserted. \u201cBut what is infuriating to me is that this is another example of the America last agenda that the Biden administration continues to perpetuate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know about you, but if I am a mother, anywhere, anytime in America, and I go to my local Walmart or Target or Publix or Safeway or Kroger or wherever it may be that you shop, and you are seeing bare shelves and you are seeing signs that you are not able to get baby formula,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd then you see the American government sending by the pallet thousands and thousands of containers of baby formula to the border, that would make my blood boil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Legend altered the lyrics of the perennial Christmas favorite \u201cBaby, It\u2019s Cold Outside\u201d in the version he recorded with singer Kelly Clarkson, seemingly championing abortion as he added \u201cIt\u2019s your body and your choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The complete set of Legend\u2019s new lyrics came amid criticism that the original song resembled a \u201cdate-rape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new lyrics provoked Susan Loesser, the daughter of famed composer-lyricist Frank Loesser, who composed the song, to comment, \u201cWay before #Me Too, I would hear from time to time people call it a date rape song. I would get annoyed because it\u2019s a song my father wrote for him and my mother to sing at parties. People used to say \u2018what\u2019s in this drink\u2019 as a joke. You know, this drink is going straight to my head so what\u2019s in this drink?
