J.D. Vance 'caught lying' on video about egg costs — with price tag right behind him
J.D. Vance recently blamed Vice President Kamala Harris for an increase in prices for eggs, but observers noted that his point was undermined by a contradictory price tag behind him. CNN's Kit Maher reported than Donald Trump's pick for Vice President "swung by supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvan.....

I know this is one of the dumbest things to latch onto, but why do they keep talking about "Kamala Harris's policies" like she's the current president? If that were true, then Vance is a dementia addled lying sack of....
Huh, I guess I answered my own question.
Desperation, they really, REALLY wanted to run against Biden, where the age issue worked more for than against him.
They know they are fucked, their only option left is to bang on the table.
They want to try and pin some things that currently go on on her, because they assume, as the vice president, she could have some say in what the president does. The Orange Menace brought it up in the debate as well btw. 🙄
However, there is not much to pin on. Everything the republicans care for is going relatively well, given the circumstances. So they're making things up.
I don't think they assume she could have some say, I think it is just malice, a bad faith argument on their part. They know very well and also know that their base you eat it up because they already hate the other side, they just need something that resembles a reason.
I think it’s also that they’re acting as though Harris is secretly running the show since Biden is, according to their narrative, too old and senile to lead. I fully expect if Harris wins that in 2028 they’ll sue her on term limits when she runs.
It's NOT one of the dumbest things to bring up.
We thank you for an amazing question.
Thank you! I think it's sad how they are so desperate to paint their election opponent in a negative light to score political points that they are pretending she's the president and is responsible for everything going on. Even in normal circumstances, the president can't push a magic button and control the price of eggs or gasoline or whatever, but the hypocrisy of blaming Harris for it now is just doubling down on the lie. It was all "Biden did this, Biden did that" right up until he bowed out of the race and suddenly Harris is actually responsible for all that shit and it's infuriating to see them trying it and even more infuriating to see it somehow actually working on people.
