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 know someone like that. Special eggs from a small farm in Australia flown on a plane to where they will be eating breakfast.

    Truly horrifying.

      Even though I would never do anything like that, this makes me glad I’m not wealthy enough to afford doing that sort of stupid shit because I’d end up being around the sort of people who cater to the sort of people who do stupid shit. Like if I wanted to do something like buy a house or a car. “Oh, you’re worth $100 million? I have this vast McMansion just for you. What do you mean you don’t like that McMansion? How about this McMansion? What? A three bedroom house with a finished basement? No no, you don’t want that!”
