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 was going to point this out as well. He said “a dozen” eggs. Has anyone with eagle eyes verified that some of the more expensive tags on there are not in front of 18 or 24 pack cartons? I sure as hell can’t tell from the potato quality of the image, plus the shelves being out of the camera’s depth of field a bit.
Anyway, regardless of all other tomfoolery either real or imagined, the average price of a dozen eggs nationwide is roughly $3.20 at present,. This is demonstrably down from its peak last year, which was $4.82.
