Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance ridiculed a post from MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle that overanalyzed his recent off-the-cuff comment about how many eggs his sons eat.

On September 21, Vance visited a supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania, to discuss rising grocery prices under the Biden-Harris administration. He was accompanied by his two young sons, Ewan and Vivek, who interrupted his speech to grab a carton of eggs.

‘Yes, friend. Would you like some eggs? Let’s talk about eggs. Because these guys eat about fourteen eggs every morning. Is that right?’ Vans said.

On Sunday, Ruhle caught wind of his comment and posted her own analysis of it.

“14 eggs per day, 98 eggs per week, 2 children consuming more than 8 dozen eggs per week,” Ruhle calculated.

On Monday, Vance himself responded, ridiculing what he saw as obvious hyperbole.

“One time I said I was so tired I could sleep for days. Stephanie Ruhle: Vance actually only slept eight hours,” Vance wrote.

Fox News Digital reached out to Ruhle for comment.

Several other people within X also mocked Ruhle for her original post with a similar joke.

“Vance: ‘I’m so hungry I could eat a horse!’ Ruhle: “Tonight we’re talking to PETA to get to the bottom of this Republican-led horse-eating catastrophe,” wrote CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings.

Reason senior editor Robby Soave joked, “I once said I was so hungry I could eat a horse. But actually I couldn’t eat a horse. Hopefully we’ll get the fact checkers on this soon. Very important.”

“Tim Walz lied about his military service and no one can say for sure whether Harris worked at a McDonalds, but they will fact-check the most obvious hyperbole you can think of,” noted Mark Hemingway, senior writer of RealClearInvestigations, op.

Washington Free Beacon reporter Andrew Kerr noted, “Eggs are a superfood and you should eat them every day.”

“This answer reminds me of when CNN reported on a family who couldn’t afford 40 liters of milk a week, while others in the media ignored the fact that milk was unaffordable and instead made fun of the family,” said political commentator. recalled Kate Hyde.

RedState writer Bonchie said, “Stephanie Ruhle is out here checking light-hearted exaggerations. This is who the Harris campaign has called in to give an interview. Now you know why.”

Ruhle was previously mocked for repeatedly defending Vice President Kamala Harris and dodging tough questions, even after giving Harris her first one-on-one cable interview on Wednesday.

“(D)o I think she answers every question and gives people exactly what they want? She doesn’t. You know why? Because she’s a politician, and none of them do that. They all speak in platitudes,” said Ruhle .
