When there are so many very legitimate reasons to make fun of these people, I think we’re getting a little nit-picky here. I know, the fact that he says it while standing in front of eggs priced $2.99 is low hanging fruit, but I just bought eggs yesterday at the cheapest store in our city and they were $3.76, so he’s not actually far off the mark.
I think the more important thing would be to find out if egg prices are suddenly being artificially inflated by poultry farmers in an attempt to influence the election. If so, smack those fuckers down hard post-election.
If you aren’t going to call them out for blatant lies like this, then you can expect them to lie every time it would be to their advantage. Why on Earth would you give them a pass on this? I’m tired of this kind of lie being considered normal. This should not be considered normal.
It shows his blatant disinterest in fact checking or making the bare minimum effort to try to speak truthfully. He does not care if what he says is true, only if people will believe it.
Agreed. Someone also made this little graphic to demonstrate how nit-picky it is. The discussion in this thread is also about how we should be critiquing his claims about why egg prices are the way they are.
