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 misremembered why the prices were high, and even if you change that one thing my point still stands it doesn’t change it. You’re just being a pedant right now.

      Your point specifically doesn’t stand. Not the one you made in your comment. You’re getting incredibly upset over being corrected when the correction was genuinely well meant and important to the discussion at hand. I’m sorry that this is something that angers you, but your hurt feelings don’t change the fact that what I’m bringing up isn’t pedantry but a correction on a misconception which is being propagated for political gain.
