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.

I don’t see anything about averages in that sentence.
He’s literally talking about the whole country, not just the store he’s in. Do you really think he’s saying Kamala Harris made the price of eggs an average of $4 a dozen in that specific store only?
You’re twisting the reality you’ve already twisted to continue to fit your narrative. I will not follow you down that rabbit hole.
If you’d like to discuss the real story, the “inflation explosion act” and even the lack of policy proposals by the Trump campaign (to my knowledge) to reduce the costs of goods, I’d be happy to do so.
I’m not twisting anything. The average is simply not $4. In fact the average isn’t even $4 in that store. Not when there are cheaper options. That’s not how averages work.
I get that you don’t like that Vance is a liar, but he still lied.
