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.

    “Kamala Harris’s policies”? Well, I guess we don’t need an election is she’s already in office making these policies exist in reality.

    This isn’t anything new, I’ve seen GOP defenders in comments say the same thing. For some reason she’s already doing things outside the VP job just because she’s running for President. They sure forgot Biden fast, as well as things put into place by their favored Trump when he was slashing and burning in office. It’s the old “look at the gas prices” ignorance.

      I had a person talking at me the other day because of my retail job. They said, “I can’t understand why someone would vote for someone, if you’ve already seen them in power and you don’t like what you see.”

      I said, “Exactly! Makes perfect sense.”

      Then they went on to add, “I mean, she’s been in the White House 3 and a half years!”

      Not just GOP defenders. She’s personally sending arms to Israel because she apparently sets that policy. She also, for some reason I just can’t imagine, refuses to call her boss a war criminal.

      Oh well, at least we can call her “Holocaust Harris,” am I right? Because that’s not super fucking offensive to more than one group of people.
