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.

some say that this video is doctored or whatever, is there some merit to that?edit: I’ve read yesterday here on lemmy that some claimed that this video was doctored and “fake news”. is there some merit to that?
Ah yes.
“Some say.”
come on man…
I’ve read yesterday on another post here on lemmy, I don’t make this shit up that some republican was questioning this news article. I just can’t remember which user it was.
Then say that. Don’t go with “some say.”
I’ve changed the comment.
Are the some that say that on Twitter? Or Truth perhaps?
No some were on a similar post here on Lemmy.
No, the actual price of eggs in the location he was is about right. The national average is $3.20 per dozen, and Reading, PA is usually a bit below average (lol)
not doctored.
plus, he’s holding a 24…
yeah okay, that could be a new low, no? Unable to comprehend what one is holding up and where one is.
Maybe there’s a donut shop next door and he can creep out the staff there.
