Snarky Jen: So treadmill's late

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki flippantly characterized the supply-chain crisis that is causing a shortage of consumer goods across the country as the “tragedy of the treadmill” on Tuesday — the second time a member of the administration has made light of the crisis in as many days.

During Tuesday’s White House briefing, Psaki was asked why President Biden failed to take a more aggressive approach to the bottleneck when the signs were evident that the coronavirus pandemic would disrupt the global supply chain.

“It was crystal clear that things were not improving on the supply chain. People couldn’t get dishwashers and furniture and treadmills delivered on time. Not to mention all sorts of other things,” the reporter said.

A smirking Psaki interjected: “The tragedy of the treadmill.”

The reporter pressed that the president didn’t announce a task force until last week when the holiday season was threatened by a shortage of toys and goods.

Psaki said Biden created a task force at the beginning of the administration and said such issues are “multifaceted.”

She said the administration is working to alleviate the bottleneck at the ports that have left cargo ships at anchor unable to unload and to get manufacturing sites shuttered because of the pandemic up and running again.

A day earlier, another member of the administration similarly downplayed the supply-chain crisis.

Liz Reynolds, the special assistant to the president for manufacturing and economic development, brushed off concerns about the inability to get goods, during a conference call with representatives of the nation’s governors.

“You won’t be able to get the jacket in 15 colors, but you will be able to get the jacket,” she snarked, a source on the National Governors Association call told The Post.

A week ago, Biden chief of staff Ron Klain retweeted a post that described a nationwide supplychain crunch and rising inflation as “high-class problems.”
