MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhl was the subject of ridicule this week after unsuccessfully trying to fact-check Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance.
While campaigning in Pennsylvania last month, Vance stopped by a grocery store in Reading and spoke about the inflation crisis and soaring food prices under President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. During Vance's brief remarks, Vance's two sons, Ewan and Vivec, interrupted him as they reached for a carton of eggs.
Vance: “I'm hungry enough to eat a horse!” Rules: “Tonight, we're talking with PETA to get to the bottom of the Republican-led horse-eating fiasco.”
“Want eggs? Let's talk about eggs, because they actually eat about 14 eggs every morning,” Vance said. made a joke.
Vance was exaggerating when he joked that his sons eat more than 12 eggs every morning, considering they are not bodybuilders and are 4- and 6-year-old boys. That's clear.
But Ruhl still tried to fact-check Vance's joke.
“14 eggs a day. 98 eggs a week. Two kids consume over 8 dozen eggs a week,” she posted on X.
Mr. Ruhl's response and calculations were published less than a week after his meeting with Ms. Harris, and they quickly spread on social media. The interview included no fact-checking, few follow-up questions, and consisted mostly of softball questions.
On Monday, Mr. Vance mocked Mr. Rhule's fact-checking failures.
“Once I said I was so tired I could sleep for days. Stephanie Rule: Vance actually only slept 8 hours,” he posted on X.
Others joined in the fun.

Meanwhile, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) observed Ruhl's reaction shows how “mainstream media is some of the most pathetic people on the planet,” but Christopher Rufo transferred Definition of the rule “Exaggeration”. some begged Rules to investigate claims of cats and dogs raining outside. While others have pointed out As a journalist, Mr. Ruhl has failed to do basic fact-checking on the Democratic Party.
Last week's rules defended the interview with Harris He even seemed to be defending Harris, who repeatedly dodged questions.
