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.
“Looking at the prices here, things are way too expensive and they’re way too expensive because of [Kamala Harris](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/kamala-harris)’s policies,” he told shoppers.
When someone is living in a delusional headspace, the more objective reality surrounding them goes unnoticed. Sometimes I wonder if MAGA is delusional or just acting like reality doesn’t exist, or if it’s some combination of the two.

Birds of feather flock together. Vance lies as much as Trump does. When Trump was President he told twenty-one lies a day.
Why are eggs so expensive again in 2024?
Avian influenza, commonly called bird flu, has disrupted the nation’s egg distribution for the second time in two years. Wholesale egg prices have more than doubled in the past four months, and retail prices have followed.Sep 13, 2024
If Vance doesn’t know that he should, the more likely explanation is he’s lying, but it could be ignorance.

While it’s great to see him mocked for anything can we focus on how stupid the premise of $4 dollars for a dozen eggs is too expensive?
It’s hard for me to fathom how the heartland of this country continues to vote republican when they can barely put food on their own table, meanwhile, guys like Vance want them to make even less on the produce/animal products that they produce. $4/dz is barely above breakeven for most farms.

I don’t get the obsession with the price of eggs and milk. I live in a very high cost of living city and buy 18 eggs for $5. Of course it’s more expensive than a decade an ago but by far and away one of the best values in the whole store. Price per meal and health benefits are amazing.

I’m about to type a sentence that I will type each and every single time I see JD humiliate himself, which happens almost daily:
I am amused by how terrible he is at campaigning. What makes this especially amusing is that his people keep shoving him in front of cameras to remind the American people about how terrible he is.

I’m actually a bit nervous that Trump and JD Vances complete lack of care for their campaign (given how much of a shot feat it is), is because they have guarantees in place come November, *cough* the Supreme Court Justices….

But I’m also cynical. Maybe they really are just as awful as they appear and there’s really no method to the mayhem.

[JD Vance](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/jd-vance) was roundly mocked online over a trip to the supermarket where he bemoaned the steep price of eggs.
The Republican[ vice presidential nominee ](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-harris-news-polls-elections-campaign-b2617451.html)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” ](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/kamala-harris-ap-joe-biden-donald-trump-tyson-b2597043.html)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.
“Looking at the prices here, things are way too expensive and they’re way too expensive because of [Kamala Harris](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/kamala-harris)’s policies,” he told shoppers.

Surprised we don’t get more egg misinformation, given that the [most recent bird flu breakout](https://www.stlpr.org/2024-09-19/bird-flu-egg-prices-expensive) is happening under the current administration and how much inherent [price variability there is between states](https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/egg-prices-by-state) (easy min-maxing).
Then again, the minds behind conservative rhetoric are wildly out of touch (cue “it’s one banana” meme).
