Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance has fired back against MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle's post on Monday, which analyzed his recent comment about how many eggs his sons eat.

On Sept. 21, Vance visited a supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania, to discuss the rising prices of groceries 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.
"Yes, buddy. Want some eggs? Let's talk about eggs. Because these guys actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning. Is that right?" Vance said.
By Sunday, Ruhle had caught wind of his comment and posted her own analysis of it.
"14 eggs per day. 98 eggs per week. 2 children consuming 8+ dozen eggs per week," Ruhle calculated.
By Monday, Vance himself replied, ridiculing what he considered obvious hyperbole.
"One time I said I was so tired I could sleep for days. Stephanie Ruhle: Vance, in fact, only slept for 8 hours," Vance wrote.
Fox News Digital reached out to Ruhle for a comment.
Several other people across Twitter also mocked Ruhle over her original post with similar jokes.
"Vance: ‘I’m so hungry I could eat a horse!’ Ruhle: ‘TONIGHT, we talk to PETA to get to the bottom of this Republican-led equine eating catastrophe,’" CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings wrote.
Reason senior editor Robby Soave joked, "One time I said I was so hungry I could eat a horse. But I actually 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 can say for sure whether Harris worked at a McDonalds, but they'll fact check the most obvious hyperbole imaginable," RealClearInvestigations senior writer Mark Hemingway remarked.
Washington Free Beacon reporter Andrew Kerr commented, "Eggs are a superfood and you should be eating them everyday."
"This response reminds me of the time CNN reported on a family who couldn’t afford their 12 gallons of milk a week and others in the media ignored the fact that milk was unaffordable and pivoted to making fun of the family instead," political commentator Kate Hyde recalled.
RedState writer Bonchie said, "Stephanie Ruhle is out here fact-checking light-hearted hyperbole. This is who the Harris campaign called up to give an interview to. Now, you know why."
Ruhle was previously mocked for repeatedly defending Vice President Kamala Harris dodging difficult questions even after giving Harris her first one-on-one cable interview Wednesday.
"Do I think that she answers every single question and gives people exactly what they want? She doesn’t. You know why? Because she’s a politician, and none of them do. They all speak in platitudes," Ruhle said.
