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.

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?
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.
