The dude legit said he will manufacture outrage as much as necessary. I’m not denying that.
He looks over his left immediately before he says that, where there are pricetags for $4/dozen. Even one for $5.
He’s not wrong, he’s not even hyperbolic.
If you’re looking for an example of misinformation…I guess you could call this that, but there are far more egregious examples.
I wouldn’t consider this an example of deliberate misinformation, though. I think it’s petty to say so, and I think that it hurts your cause if you’re saying “hurr durr he’s lying about eggs being $4/dozen” when there are literally $4 eggs behind him.
But he didn’t say “these eggs are $4 a dozen” did he? He said “the average price of eggs is $4 a dozen.”
A high profile person made an unsubstantiated claim in front of millions Americans and they ate it up. They believed what he said, not what he meant, even if it was a mistake
