I never paid more than 3.99 for a dozen and that same brand (Contented Hen) is still 3.99 a dozen. I did notice the price of the cheap national band eggs went through the roof several years ago and was amazed to see people still buying them when better quality and cheaper eggs were next to them.

Van Orden's entire statement is a lie and he knows it.

Rep Van Orden, are you in a Walmart right now? Cause that shit is delusional AF

If only cars could run on scrambled eggs.

These people love stepping on rakes. With energy prices, especially diesel fuel on the rise, that makes EVERYTHING more expensive due to higher transport costs. 

1,50 times 12 is 18 dollars. thats dubble the price.

Eggs? This asshole is talking about eggs? Everything is more expensive. I'm tired of this gaslighting bullshit. Screw him! I doubt he struggles. Does he even do his own grocery shopping? Stop trying to feed me crap. I have eyes and ears! I have a working brain. I'm not a freaking idiot.

He's lying, he knows he's lying, he also knows we know he's lying, but he's talking to one person, the only one that counts to him. Why is the question, why does he fear a demented liar so much who only has about 30% approval and he's up for reelection this year?

Rep Van Orden tells lies. Are ordinary Americans misremembering the less than halcyon days under Biden when they could *checks notes* afford both groceries AND fuel?

Van Orden should visit my Safeway, where eggs are still around $5/doz. Then he can buy some beef and coffee after gassing up, but he should first get a bank loan to cover them.

Reality brownbeatens people?

Hey, Small-D VO - gas is averaging $4.22 nationwide TODAY. Health insurance is much more expensive TODAY. Groceries are more expensive TODAY than in 2022. And in 2022, average hourly earnings were 6% and it's 3% TODAY. @wisdems.org #WI3 @markpocan.bsky.social @kristinbrey.bsky.social

This is important despite the government having nothing to do with it (other than maybe lax regulation on egg production) because eggs are my main expense.

How much did the gas cost that took you Walmart?

46 food recalls last month alone.

Gas wasn’t $4.29…

In two or theee years, you’ll see. 2 weeks. Just wait.

$9 for a dozen eggs under Biden. And they were woke eggs at that. All rainbow colored. Laid by a hen who identifies as a rooster.

You mean the eggs that are tainted with Salmonella? He left out that part, they had a recall on eggs in July I think.

Its started in this criminal administration 1st term mishandling ,sabotaging and exploding in their 2nd term, almost 6ys !

I really dislike that guy. Not my district, but I hope Cooke wins. I live in a neighboring district and we have Sean Fluffy's useless son-in-law running against a guy who has lived here all of his life.

For one egg

Sorry, I think I was browbeaten to try to get me to believe that I would be better off with a pedo loser convicted criminal than I would be with a black woman.

The Biden Administration Peak: The highest average retail price under Joe Biden occurred in January 2023, hitting $4.82 per dozen. This spike was heavily driven by a massive avian flu outbreak that forced farmers to cull millions of egg-laying hens.

Oh ffs

You can fool some of the people some of the time. But you hide the fact you've never stepped in a grocery store.

$1.50 (not) with a dose if salmonella.

yeah, the guy who also raped women and girls and was Epstein's bff

Wait til you read the new article on trans and shocker - again how pubs blew up shit that wasn’t real

“Stop saying everything was better under Biden!”

If only journalists existed to push back about why eggs were so high then. And at least we could eat eggs without millions being recalled.

More m@g@ lies Inappropriate and Inexcusable

Just rolling imagining that even if he wasnt making up numbers that he’s pretending to compare the same dozen (brand and type) as $1.50 v $9.

Brow beaten by whom? They can SEE what they spend when they go shopping for crying out loud.

Eggs with salmonella only for a $1.50? What a deal. /s

The Trump regime and its co-conspirators operate on the premise that much of the public is more inclined to accept lies than look for the truth.

Eggs were never $9 and theres no way he a) went to walmart b) paid $1.50 for a dozen eggs The prices have been creeping back up slowly, avg price by me is about $4.50-$5 with organic free range close to $8

Today's post in a smartass blog I follow presents MAGA definitions for our Golden Age. Quick and fun in a sad post-truth sort of way: elonica.net/trumpspeak/

And all this clown eats is eggs?

gas is $4

Cool, cool cool. Now do gas.

Liar!

Now that I'm back in Wisconsin, I'm VERY much looking forward to working to kicking this asshole out of the House.

Many are saying that this sentient turd has likely never set foot in a Walmart in his life

Baghdad Bob rises again!

Gaslighting the public is hard when it comes to the economy. They can see the lies a mile away and many will vote accordingly.

I'm from his district, $1.50 a dozen here isn't far off. Kwik Trip regularly runs specials for 99¢/dz. Other than that though, he's a lying PoS and hasn't done anything positive for his constituents, ever.

Woah I don't remember $9 dozen eggs when Biden was president! I remember paying about $4

$1.67, not a buck 50. Quick 10 second search.

We need to get rid of these people. I'm SO tired of the gaslighting. I mean, how do they not find this sort of thing embarassing when gas just went up 35% in four months and the cost of imports from Canada are going up 50 to 100%? They think people are that stupid? Sheesh.

I love idiots trying to make sense. It is amusing but infuriating.

🙄 www.cbsnews.com/news/egg-ind...

So we all drive our egg cars that run on eggshells to our egg-powered offices where the egg-conditioner is running full blast, eat egg salad on egg bread, drive to our homes made of eggs and put our unhatched children to sleep. Now, if this *isn't* an egg-based economy, we could be in trouble.

never seems to be brought up, 3 major egg producers settled a doj and state antitrust investigation over artificially inflating prices.

I haven't seen a $1.50 a dozen for eggs since I was a teenager 50 years ago. Whether it's at Walmart or not LOL. These people think we are stupid and I'm sick of it.

MAGA.. try putting eggs in your gas tank, I think he says it’s ok

Egg-price volatility's been crazy since 2015. Pourquoi? Je ne sais pas.

I was at the store yesterday and almost wanted to cry. You can’t buy fresh vegetables because they can make you sick and the canned ones were almost $3.00! Even if you could afford food you take big chances eating it. MAHA my ass!

Brow beaten by Republicans. And I ain't never paid $9 for eggs. (Yes my grammar was bad on purpose)

Shouldn't this clown be getting hammered and yelling at interns?

#RepublicaSS lie, lie, lie. Always.

"They were about to throw those expired eggs in the trash and I said 'wait I'll buy those for a buck 50!'" --Rep. Van Orden

Yes. It's epistemological problem. Reasonable people derive their knowledge of the world from data and facts. Most people derive their knowledge of the world from compelling narratives. The cost of eggs in this case. MAGA derive their knowledge of the world from their confirmation bias.

Fuck your eggs! Seriously it was revealed that the egg producers colluded and gouged and still do! When does someone say this - Biden was mending the damage done by Trump 1 (including covid) - he hadn't yet started to go after the oligarchy- whole reason they paid so much to put trump back in

Even actual free range eggs weren’t $9.

That Van Orden is clinging to "Trump great for affordability" should make Rebecca Cooke very very happy.

He is lying. They are 2.25 just this weekend at Walmart. Also the egg companies got busted for price fixing. We need honest politicians., cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/09/a-re...

Yes the egg shortage eventually ended and egg prices are indeed down to below $1.50 in WI (for basic non-free range and stuff)... of course all those corporations that were found to have artificially inflated the prices only got a slap on the wrist. Also basically everything else is more expensive.

I don't think eggs are the benchmark any longer. Unless someone is really out of touch, they know what they are spending. Also gas is $5.30 a gallon at Fred Meyer-which is the cheap gas.

The definition of “cherry picking”. Egg picking?

La Crosse, Portage, and Eau Claire counties are around 40% of the total population of the district, and all 3 are strong blue. Don't confuse land and cows for people. #WI3

He got both numbers wrong. The highest under Biden was $6.22, and the current average is $2.19. These magats just cannot stop lying.

Nobody beat my brow, but my grocery bill has crept up about 4% a week for much of this year. I've now reached about 40-50% more than the first of the year, for pretty much the same stuff. If you guys shopped for yourselves, you would know this.

"And if you want to buy anything else, you're a Communist!"

Will the $1.50 eggs fill up my tank?

I thought these people should stand before a judge but now I believe they should stand before a squad.

What Van Order left out was that he went to Walmart in Doc Brown's Delorean.

The problem with this line of lies is that the ‘average American’ actually knows what things cost because they buy them. Probably better to stick to lies about tariffs or trade deficits or nuclear weapons or immigrants.

That dude needs more than a “brow” beating.

luny

Now do gas and beef prices. We’ll wait….

Eggs did get up to $5 here during the bird flu outbreak, now $2 at the discount market. Yesterday a beef soup bone was $20. Gas is $4.19 in Buffalo, NY. We don't eat the ground beef at all now because it's Trump mystery meat.

**things are so much worse though**

I’d gladly pay $9 for eggs that I know are safe rather than the $1.50 “take your chances” eggs

Van Orden isn't very honest, is he.

Were these recalled eggs?

“Mainstream media doesn’t report [gop] wins.” Fox News/WSJ/Barri Weiss not enough? “My district went for #trumpepstein 3 times.” Your district is full of assholes.

Congrats on noticing, asshole. Due to Trumpenomics, every fucking trip to Walmart is $50!

Eggs are down! Great! Instead of doing a two year victory lap, do the price of gas… or homes… or land… or strawberries… beef prices (before the mystery meat hits) …or our standing in the world… or everything else the demented orange demon has destroyed

The price of eggs is the only economic indicator that we have!

Yeah. Eggs is the problem. This fuckin' dummy.

Or sat outside in the car while the Intern fetched it.

Sit yourself down Van Orden! 🤡

Thank you everybody who contributed to the destruction of America over the price of fucking eggs. You morons.

You misspelled “gazillion”

Hey, remember that report that came out saying that egg producers absolutely made up those egg prices prior to the election? You member? I member.

Have a look for yourselves: www.macrotrends.net/3052/us-egg-... For context: remember: 2020-2023 was worldwide bird flue: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2... )

I'm tired of these lying sacks of shit. Vite EVERY Republican out.

It's beyond belief there are people stupid enough to vote for dickheads like this

I might believe, "I had an aide go to Walmart, and..." (he gave me the price per egg). 🍳

At least we could eat the supposed $9 eggs without getting sick or dying from contamination....

Lie and more lies, Van Orden can fuck off!!!!

Actually the prices went up more under Trump and because of how bad it got they had to cease their schemes temporarily. Trump may have a bad memory, like forgetting what happened on 9/11, but we collectively do not and can remember LAST YEAR.

Biden! DRINK!!!

So, how were the other prices? Or did you "forget" to look. (abbreviated data - it's a GOP superpower)

This guy shops at WalMart?

Egg prices got jacked up due to criminal collusion by egg producers.

Loser

How much is that ground mystery meat Derrick

Proof? It’s a lie and he knows it.
