JD Vance was roundly mocked online over a trip to the supermarket where he bemoaned the steep price of eggs — and botched the photo opp.
The Republican vice presidential nominee stopped by a supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania, with his sons over the weekend to illustrate how grocery prices have been impacted by “Kamala Harris’s policies” when he claimed a dozen eggs cost $4.
The problem? When footage of the visit emerged, Vance was quickly called out by viewers who spotted the price tag of a dozen eggs behind him was actually $2.99.

He said his three kids—7,4 and 3 years old—eat “14 eggs every single morning”. Either he’s an idiot or the toddlers are training to fight Dolph Lundgren.

I mean … Vance is an idiot, but I have three boys. Between me, my wife, and my three kids, we each eat 2-3 eggs worth of scrambled eggs some mornings. 5x2 is 10, 5x3 is 15. That’s right in line with his claims, if he counts himself and wife, which he probably is and just being an idiot again.
That said, I don’t have eggs EVERY DAY. FFS my cholesterol would be sky high. I do buy 10-15 dozen eggs at a time, though, because the local farmer’s market sells 15 dozen for $25-30 and eggs will keep for 6-10 weeks in the fridge that is consistently the same low, near freezing temp (perfect for the outdoor, secondary fridge).
That’s still almost 3 dozen short of Gaston, they’ll never get large at this rate.

¿Por qué no los dos?
Did he just add their ages together? Does that mean he eats 40 eggs each morning? Fucking weirdo
That’s more than enough protein for three young children .
Why did Kamala Harris choose for there to be an avian flu epidemic that led to many bird deaths/culling? I can’t believe she’d write that into policy!
The lying about the price aside, fucking morons, I swear to god.
Do we know that’s actually the reason the prices doubled (and is jt still a valid reason)? Or is it mostly just unchecked gouging like almost all other groceries?
First one, then the other, and that’s why Kroger is getting their asses sued off by the FTC under Biden appointee Lina Khan. The avian flu issue was a legitimate supply/demand squeeze for a little while, until it wasn’t, and Kroger didn’t back down an inch, so the FTC is stepping in.
That’s a great point, I’m not sure.
Either way though, it has nothing to do with top level leadership. It’s either something the FTC needs to take care of (price gouging) or the USDA (avian flu).
Why not both?
OK, is it both?
I’m asking what data shows is actually true in this case.
I don’t know that anyone has traced that out but there were articles predicting this some months ago.
Why is this dude this bad at being a politician? I feel like if you pick a random person off the street and swapped places with Vance, they would have more charisma, and also more experience with groceries and donut shops.
His only job will be to do what Pence wouldn’t
Instructions unclear…JD runs toward the gallows

Well I mean you can get eggs for $4. You don’t have to, but you can. It depends on how well you want the chickens to be treated.
I mean don’t get me wrong, Vance is still a fucking tool. But the prices of premium products do not reflect the prices of what the average working class consumer can afford.
You can get eggs for $10,000 if someone is willing to charge that much and you’re willing to pay it.
It’s only one banana, what could it cost. Ten Dollars?
Republican challenge impossible: Speak any sentance without lying.
It’s one banana, Michael. How much can it cost?

Wow, not even in the Oval Office yet and Kamala is already fiddling with the “egg prices” dial on the Resolute desk.
Thanks to Kamala Harris’s inflationary policies
She’s VP. She doesn’t have to power to increase egg prices even if she wanted to. They really don’t know how to run against anyone but Biden, huh?
Find and Replace Biden with Kamala. That’s all they did lol.
That is so embarrassing.
Once you break through the line of just making shit up about people with a different skin tone than your own eating household pets and s promoting this to the level of a key element of your campaign, adding a couple of bucks to the price of something even with the real price in plain view comes super easy. I bet this guy has literally peed on someone and told them it was raining.
Is love to know how Trump and Vance would stop bird flu from killing chickens.
And they’ll still believe and defend him. 🙄
“Vance mocked for [insert here]” being a common headline is a media trend I find funny. So shines a chuckle in a weary world
Lol Sam’s Club has 5 Dozen for $11 which works out too ~$2.20
