In a whirlwind of laughs and eye-rolls, the new White House Press Secretary, Carolyn Levit, made waves during her first press briefing by taking a giant whack at the confusion surrounding rising egg prices. In a grand display of what might be called “classic Bidenism,” Levit seemed to suggest that President Joe Biden’s favorite pastime is, well, napping—especially during the very inflationary policies that some say left Americans scrambling for breakfast.
With a flair for the dramatic, Levit explained that egg prices have soared by 65% since Biden took office, all while hinting that the President may have been snoozing through the economic chaos. It’s tough to say whether she was more concerned about egg prices or simply trying to wake up the room. One thing is for sure: it’s no yolk when she claims that the Biden Administration isn’t to blame for the skyrocketing costs but instead finding creative ways to deflect criticism.
According to Levit, the true villains in this egg saga are bigger than any sleepy president. She took aim at the blame game, identifying the administration’s policies as the primary culprits. But wait! In a plot twist, Levit mentioned that the Department of Agriculture ordered the mass culling of over 100 million chickens, which, you guessed it, has led to a shortage of eggs. It seems that while the world was worrying about egg prices, the Biden team was busy playing avian executioner. That ought to lay some serious responsibility on the administration’s plate!
And let’s not forget those inflationary policies that are supposed to be a hangover from the “last Administration.” It’s remarkable how the party of progress managed to pass the blame like a hot potato—and just like that, egg prices are getting fried by more than just the heat of Democrat disharmony. Between soaring bacon prices, increased grocery costs, and gallon-jugged gas prices, it’s become almost a comedy show. One has to wonder if the poor chickens have gotten off easy compared to the average American consumer trying to scrape together enough dough for breakfast.
So, while Levit holds her newly minted press role with an air of confidence, one can’t help but see the layers of irony. A new press secretary looking to score points by delivering egg-ceptional deflection tactics is about as fulfilling as an empty carton of eggs. Perhaps Biden should trade in some of that naptime for a little bit of policy action—or at least an inclusive egg solution. Otherwise, we’re all just left here cracking jokes while our wallets get scrambled. The real challenge is to see if anyone from the White House can make policy as entertaining as this press briefing is turning out to be!
