J.D. Vance 'caught lying' on video about egg costs — with price tag right behind him

Price increases in eggs have largely been due to the outbreaks of avian flu and producers having to cull their stock, anyway. Not something Harris or Biden caused or could wave away with a wand.

he's so incompetent. Its amazing how often he just walks into the rakes.

“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually has to pay attention to the suffering of American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,”

• Jack Dick Vance, a U.S. Senator representing Ohio.

Because these guys actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning

Motherfucker trying to raise an army of Gastons over there.

I know this is one of the dumbest things to latch onto, but why do they keep talking about "Kamala Harris's policies" like she's the current president? If that were true, then Vance is a dementia addled lying sack of....

Huh, I guess I answered my own question.

He's an admitted, unashamed liar. Don't even give him the time of day.

From the video:

“Let’s talk about eggs, Because these guys actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning.”

There's just so much that's weird about that. "These guys" are his 2 sons Ewan (6) and Vivek (4). You're saying these kids each eat 7 eggs every morning? That's a lot of eggs. Think about it. 7 fried eggs? Or 7 hard-boiled eggs? If you're scrambling them, you lose track of the individual eggs, but what, he's cracking 14 eggs into a huge bowl, then scrambling them? Do you know how much scrambled eggs that's going to make?

If his boys were teenagers, maybe I could see it, though eating that many eggs every single day would still seem weird. But, at least teenage boys are known to have big appetites.

Even if you include him, his wife and their 2-year-old, roughly 100 eggs a week every week seems odd.

Then there's just the weirdness of saying "about 14". We're talking eggs. Why not "about a dozen"? Slightly more believable, and a more common number to use when talking about eggs. I mean, surely if your kids really loved eggs you'd try to reduce it to a dozen eggs per day just so you're using one full carton every morning. Then again, if you're buying hundreds of eggs per month, maybe they come on a pallet, not by the carton, so "a dozen" doesn't mean much to you.

Well. At least they used the word lying in the title. The scare quotes don't help anyone but whatever.

So unshocking.

I'm a Republican who does their Own Research and saw the Video and this is FAKE NEWS! Whatever Trump and Vance tell me is True is TRUE! Those Price Tags are FALSE just to make Vance look like a LIAR even though he said on TV he lied which was also FAKE NEWS! I'm not WEIRD!

"So tell us JD, how will you help lower the price of eggs if elected?"

Ok, good.

What does an egg cost, $10?

Vance is quite probably the worst VP pic in modern history. Palin riled up the base as intended. Mondale added gravitas as intended. What has Vance added to the Trump campaign?

And with Trump's age and obvious cognitive decline, he's not the future of MAGA. Trump won't be the Fuhrer of Project 2025. Vance will be.

Who cares how much eggs cost? If I put eggs on a pie chart with the rest of my monthly expenses, I would need a microscope to see it. Focus on real problems like price gouging rent.

You might as well buy the free range eggs for $8/dozen. If that's too much money, it's not like the purchase will make you more financially doomed than before.

“Alternative facts” strikes again.

Looks like JD Vance got a firmware update at least. A grocery store encounter with a prior revision might have looked like this:

Ok. Good. Whatever makes sense. How long have you worked here for?

What he's holding is a flat, not a dozen.

the onion would have said this was too on the nose.

Free market. The companies are responsible for setting the price. Let's put blame where it belongs: corporate greed. Remember when "They were stealing our jobs," and not realizing the company was outsourcing their jobs? And how the fuck does someone steal the job you were hired for? Always bothered me as a kid.

the price behind him was fake news

Liarrhoea - a continuous stream of shit that puiurs out of the mouths of Trumpist politicians. Lying is a form of breathing to these assholes.

Fascists tell more and more egregious lies and dare you to call them liars.

There's some irony of this being in Reading, PA..

“The WOKE made the eggs prices skyrocket!!”

Jesus you cannot make this shit up lol

Dunno if anyone here would know about the moment on TV where the PMLN witch was complaining about egg prices in eggs per kilo

Because regular people definitely buy eggs in kilos.

This fucking guy...

He said eggs were $4.

Eggs are $4 at my store.

y’all are really reaching on this shit

Weird thing is, he didn't have to lie. He said that the price went from $1.5 a dozen to $4 a dozen, but it's not like his argument would have been that much weaker had he used the real price $3...
