Where did he talk about averages? This is what he said:
If he wanted to talk about averages, as the article says:
So either way he was being dishonest. Sorry you don't care for that, but he still was.
Right there.
So, now you want to ignore the signs behind him and use statistics for the country?
Just stop. You are not contributing to any valuable discourse.
I don't see anything about averages in that sentence.
He's literally talking about the whole country, not just the store he's in. Do you really think he's saying Kamala Harris made the price of eggs an average of $4 a dozen in that specific store only?
You're twisting the reality you've already twisted to continue to fit your narrative. I will not follow you down that rabbit hole.
If you'd like to discuss the real story, the "inflation explosion act" and even the lack of policy proposals by the Trump campaign (to my knowledge) to reduce the costs of goods, I'd be happy to do so.
I'm not twisting anything. The average is simply not $4. In fact the average isn't even $4 in that store. Not when there are cheaper options. That's not how averages work.
I get that you don't like that Vance is a liar, but he still lied.
