JD Vance mocks the MSNBC host for checking out the “most obvious exaggeration” about his sons' eating habits

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance mocked a segment by MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle in which she over-analyzed his recent off-the-cuff remark about how many eggs his sons eat.

On September 21, 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.

“Yeah, buddy. Do you want some eggs? Let's talk about eggs. Because these guys actually eat about 14 eggs every morning. Is that true?” said Vance.

On Sunday, Ruhle learned of his comment and published her own analysis of it.

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

On Monday, Vance himself responded, ridiculing what he considered an obvious exaggeration.

“Once I said I was so tired I could sleep for days. Stephanie Ruhle: “Vance actually only slept 8 hours,” Vance wrote.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Ruhle for comment.

Several other people on X also mocked her original post with a similar joke about Ruhle.

“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 disaster,” wrote CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings.

Robby Soave, editor-in-chief of Reason, 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 can't say for sure whether Harris worked at McDonald's, but they will check the most blatant exaggeration imaginable,” noted RealClearInvestigations senior writer Mark Hemingway.

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

“This response reminds me of the time when CNN reported on a family that couldn't afford their 12 gallons of milk per week, and others in the media ignored the fact that milk was unaffordable and instead went on to complain about it “Making family funny,” political commentator Kate Hyde recalled.

RedState writer Bonchie said: “Stephanie Ruhle is out here checking out light-hearted exaggerations. This is who the Harris campaign called to do 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 in-person cable interview on Wednesday.

MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle came under fire for what people viewed as a softball interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

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