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.
VC.
Reality is what you say it is.
(In case any readers are actually wondering; Venture Capitalism - JD Vance is the puppet of Paypal co-founder and Palantir spyware owner Peter Thiel. A far-right billionaire who promised trump millions of dollars if he put his plant, JD Vance, on the ticket so in the event trump wins and keels over (odds are good, yeah?) Peter Theil becomes de facto dictator and . . . does whatever evil a billionaire tech bro can't get away with on that alone.)
“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,”

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.
Desperation, they really, REALLY wanted to run against Biden, where the age issue worked more for than against him.
They know they are fucked, their only option left is to bang on the table.
They want to try and pin some things that currently go on on her, because they assume, as the vice president, she could have some say in what the president does. The Orange Menace brought it up in the debate as well btw. 🙄
However, there is not much to pin on. Everything the republicans care for is going relatively well, given the circumstances. So they're making things up.
It's NOT one of the dumbest things to bring up.
We thank you for an amazing question.
He's an admitted, unashamed liar. Don't even give him the time of day.
This is probably why his boss hired him in the first place. Good god, Americans. Get out and vote!
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.
So unshocking.
this is why I'm voting for the party of Any Competent Adult ™️
if I had ranked choice I'd be voting for Giant Meteor first. Just saying.
Well. At least they used the word lying in the title. The scare quotes don't help anyone but whatever.
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!
That was a really weird response. Where can I buy a flag with your name on it to put in my yard?
a Republican who does their Own Research
LOL, that was the best part of your joke!
"So tell us JD, how will you help lower the price of eggs if elected?"
Ok, good.
As a reporter, I'd ask him why, as a current sitting Senator, Vance himself hasn't done anything to help lower the price of eggs even while his colleagues in the Senate and the House are.
Kroger exec admits to artificially increasing the price of eggs: link
27 Representitives and Senators calling for a block of the merger between Kroger and Albertsons: link
...Vance was not among those calling for a block of the merger of the price fixing grocery store..
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.
Silicon valley money. Hundreds of millions of dollars in dark money basically, and a lot of power brokers in tech working behind the scenes for the campaign.
He brings nothing from a "fill the gap" stance because he's exactly like Trump, but less addled by age. The pick was stupid from that perspective but if you're money hungry, he brought it.
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.
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.
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.
