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.

Those poor kids are adorable too. At least it doesn't look like they got any goblin genes from dad.

I've been rewatching Veep in honor of Kamala and only having moderate anxiety going into November and... this is the kind of shit even Selina wouldn't have screwed up on. Part of that is very much that Selina might be a horrible person but she is a fundamentally good leader who cares about The American People.

But it is also just that this level of unforced error from candidates with entire political parties behind them should be unfathomable. Even Veep usually had to make convoluted situations for why Selina would always be blindsided by something The Main Party did or what horrible tragedy she was accidentally mocking that week.

And yet... that is the GOP.

Unfortunately, these people can get away with anything in the current political environment. It has no consequences. Their followers hear only what they say and none of the corrections and criticism.

Dumbass should have come to California. It's almost $5 for a dozen where I live.
