Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance mocked a post that overanalyzed MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhl's recent off-the-cuff comments about the number of eggs her sons have.
On September 21, Mr. Vance visited a supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania to discuss rising food prices under the Biden-Harris administration. He was accompanied by his two young sons, Ewan and Vivek, who interrupted his speech to reach for a carton of eggs.
“Okay, buddy. You want eggs? Let's talk about eggs, because they actually eat about 14 eggs every morning, right?” Vance said.
By Sunday, Ms. Rhule had caught on to his comment and posted her own analysis of it.

MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhl accuses Harris of dodging tax hike method: 'She's not answering questions'
“14 eggs a day, 98 eggs a week. Two children consume more than eight dozen eggs a week,” Ruhl calculated.
By Monday, Vance himself had responded, mocking what he thought was an obvious exaggeration.
“Once, I said I was so tired that I could sleep for days. Stephanie Rule: Vance, I actually only slept eight hours,” Vance wrote.
FOX News Digital has reached out to Ruhl for comment.
Several other people at Company X also mocked Rhule about her original post with similar jokes.
“Vance: 'I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!'” Rules: “Tonight, we sit down with PETA to get to the bottom of the Republican-led horse-eating fiasco,” CNN senior political commentator Scott -Jennings wrote.
Robbie Soave, Reason's senior editor, said: “One time I was so hungry that I said I could eat a horse, but in reality I couldn't eat a horse.'' This will be fact-checked soon. I hope so. It's very important,” he joked.
“Tim Walz lied about his military service, and while we can't say for sure whether Harris worked at McDonald's, we're going to fact-check the most obvious exaggerations we can think of,” Mark, RealClearInvestigations senior writer・Mr. Hemingway said.
“Eggs are a superfood and should be eaten every day,” said Andrew Carr of the Washington Free Beacon.
“This reaction is reminiscent of when CNN reported on a family who couldn't afford 12 gallons of milk a week, but other media outlets ignored the fact that they couldn't afford milk and instead focused on that family. It was all about making fun,” political commentator Kate Hyde recalled.
“Stephanie Ruhl is the fact-checker here and the light-hearted hyperbole that the Harris campaign called for an interview,” Red State reporter Bonchy said. Now you can see why.”
Ruhl had previously been ridiculed for dodging difficult questions and repeatedly defending Vice President Kamala Harris, even after giving her first one-on-one cable interview with Harris on Wednesday.

”[D]o Do you think she answers every question and gives people exactly what they want? She doesn't. Do you know why? She is a politician, but no one is a politician. They all speak in common language,” Ruhl said.
