J.D. Vance Caught Lying About Egg Prices in Painfully Bad Video

J.D. Vance attempted to point out high prices in a recent campaign stunt at a grocery store, only to be caught with egg on his face.

On Saturday, the Trump War Room account on X posted a video of Vance visiting a grocery story, in which the vice presidential nominee complains that prior to Kamala Harris taking office, eggs cost less than $1.50 a dozen, but they now cost around $4 thanks to “the Inflation Explosion Act.”

But, easily visible in the video are the prices of the eggs behind him, which clearly cost between $2 and $3, which commentators on X quickly pointed out.

The Republican vice presidential candidate is also holding a package that clearly looks like two dozen eggs, not one dozen.

It’s no secret that grocery prices in the U.S. have gone up in the past few years. But the Republican vice presidential nominee should have probably thought to look at the prices behind him before waxing poetic about high prices. It’s only the latest misstep from Vance, who has recently shown ignorance about labor law, angered a crowd of firefighters , and even flubbed a question about what makes him smile .

The inflation in grocery costs has less to do with the president’s actions and more to do with the corporations that own grocery stores. But Vance missed what would have been a very easy jab at Harris, and the campaign somehow didn’t see the clear problems in the video they posted. And yet, Vance and Donald Trump remain neck and neck with Harris and Tim Walz in the polls.
