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.

    Or not stupid and act stupid for plausible deniability should anything fall back into them.

    The government in my country isn’t even fascist, just conservative and abused this mechanism for extreme corruption without any consequences. (A ministry “failed” and gave a company almost half a billion in contract-penalties for literally no work at all. Lots of other shady shit happened, like destroyed documents or missing documentation… a total mess on purpose)
