What gets me about this (the RWNJ lie about the economy) is that I suspect the price of eggs (or groceries in general) is not of particular concern to either of these gentlemen. The only reason they “know” that eggs were $1.85 when Trump was president and are $4 now is because that is what they have been told. If, four years ago, you had asked them how much eggs cost, they not only would not have been able to tell you, but likely would have been insulted by your implication that they were not rich and/or important enough to make the cost of groceries something they should be concerned about.

I’m sure if they had been asked if the price of groceries was a problem for them in their day-to-day lives, they would have responded that no, they could handle it, but some people aren’t as comfortable as they are, and those people are who they are concerned about.

Yeah, Republicans are concerned about poor people. Another one of their lies.
