‘The View’ co-host Sunny Hostin claims Trump 'never talked about' egg prices during campaign
Fox News ^ | 11/26/24 | Gabriel Hays

Posted on 11/28/2024 3:04:19 AM PST by Libloather

"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin claimed that President-elect Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign didn't discuss high egg prices during the latest episode of the daytime ABC talk show.

While expressing frustration over voters prioritizing kitchen table issues over Trump’s alleged threat to democracy, Hostin declared that Trump didn’t even talk about core economic issues – such as the price of eggs – during his campaign.

"Most people are saying, ‘Well this was a kitchen table issue, this was about the cost of eggs.' Donald Trump never talked about the price of eggs," Hostin said on Tuesday.

Despite Hostin’s allegation, Trump spoke about the high cost of eggs multiple times during his campaign. He shared an infographic to Truth Social in September showing how various grocery staples were more expensive under the Biden administration than they were under Trump.

In addition to showing that milk prices were up, as well as the price of ham and chicken, Trump’s graphic pointed out that the price of a case of eggs was up $2 from during his administration.

During a campaign stop at a Pennsylvania grocery store that same month, then-vice presidential candidate JD Vance lamented about the price of eggs to reporters, stating, "Eggs, when Kamala Harris took office, were short of $1.50 a dozen. Now, a dozen eggs will cost you around $4 thanks to her inflationary policies."

Both Trump and personal finance expert and radio host Dave Ramsey discussed "$8 eggs, $5 gas, 7% interest rates and a house they can’t afford, with wages not going up as fast as house prices," during an October interview.

High grocery prices and inflation in general were a key topic throughout the campaign.

Approx. 2.4 million stupid people watch their equally stupid, abrasive and repulsive opinion leaders.
Thats a bunch of dumb in one place. OTH, it could be worse.

I don’t even understand the point.

She’s lying about what Trump talked about. And for what? If he did or if he didn’t talk about eggs, what does it matter?

I’m confused.

The lefty talking heads were telling me that the only thing that the troglodytes that supported Trump were concerned with is the price of eggs. Couldn’t they see that he was a fascist Nazi who was going to destroy democracy and shoot LGBTQMOUSE people in the street? Who needs to eat? There are bigger issues here!

Now they’re saying that Trump never elucidated on the price of chicken ovum.

Maybe, just maybe, the voters could see the problem for themselves and held the current administration responsible?

Or the talking heads are lying.

Or both.

Still confused.

Check her “Sell-By” date on her ass.

I’ll wager it is at least 15 years old.

We didn’t find out until after the election the price of fresh word salad either, 1.5 BILLION.

A “case of eggs?!” Never heard of it. Must be above foreign reference.

She is a lawyer with a JD from Notre Dame. Yet, most if not all of her arguments defy logic. But, we should always say thank you to her for asking Kemala, “What will you do differently from the Biden Administration?”

Imagine, if every single comment reminds her of helping Trump winning the 2024 presidential race 😁

“Donald Trump never talked about the price of eggs,” Hostin said”

This is a good example of the childish literalness of liberals. Like a 4 year old, but you said... Trump constantly talked about inflation. Only a dope would say otherwise. Desperate Sunny is running on fumes.

It won’t implode as long as Deep State is willing to keep shoveling money at it.

Heck, at least three states (CA, IL, NY) are now funding presstitutes with taxpayer money.

I hope she has to read another legal notice about her false claim maybe be forced to play video

Besides this their derangement is complete, even if he hadn’t talked egg prices he talked constantly about food inflation, maybe the “educated “ Sonny doesn’t know eggs are food

11 cents before byedone took office.

37 cents at its hight after he took office.

I never forget my egg prices :)

200 plus percent!!!

That’s not 8 or even 12 percent inflation a year.

It’s a lot more.
