“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough was visibly shocked when his wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski revealed how high the cost of butter has gotten in the last four years.
“A few weeks ago… somebody who was going to be voting for Kamala Harris came up to me and said ‘oh my God, Trump’s going to win… I go to the grocery store butter is over $3” the former Florida congressman said.
“I kinda laughed and I said well that’s kinda reductive isn’t it, I said it to myself,” Scarborough continued.
“It’s $7… I’m just saying it’s 7,” Brzezinski interrupted.
“Butter is $7… What, is it framed in gold?” Scarborough replied incredulously, with a look of shock on his face.
“It’s seven bucks…. it depends where you go,” Brzezinski stated somberly.
A chart displaying NBC exit poll data showing that 46% of Americans feel that their economic situation is worse than it was four years ago appeared on screen as Scarborough continued to lament the country’s struggle with inflation.
“If you look at the cost of groceries, if you look at the cost of gas, if you look at the cost of things compared to four years ago it was a very simple answer for working class Americans,” Scarborough said.
“Yeah!” Brzezinski shot back.
