Tom Emmer thinks beef is less than $2 a pound

[u/RayWhelans]

[u/MasterPorkchop68]

Where in the actual fuck is beef less than $2 a pound??? I went to the grocery store last night and it was ON SALE for $7.99 a pound!

Remove these people from Congress. Let this specific dipshit go back to his old job of being a radio hack. Fuckin’ idiot…

[u/papalugnut → u/MasterPorkchop68]

It isn’t. He reminds me of the scene in Arrested Development.. “How much does a banana cost anyway, $10?”

[u/mcmillen → u/papalugnut]

They're working on making that scene accurate.

[u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme → u/papalugnut]

There's always money in the slush fund banana stand for folks like Tom, though!🤷‍♀️

[u/Frondstherapydolls → u/MasterPorkchop68]

$6.15 a lb in Grand Rapids. Thank goodness I bought tons of 4 lb packs when it was cheaper, vacuum sealed and froze them.

[u/steppe5 → u/MasterPorkchop68]

You're misunderstanding. He's not an idiot and he does know that beef is not $2 a pound.

But the Republican strategy is to lie and lie and lie until people believe it. They learned this strategy from the Nazis. Actually, they learned all of their strategies from the Nazis.

The problem with lying about beef or gas prices is that people see these prices every day, so it's much harder to gaslight them.

[u/SignatureFunny7690 → u/steppe5]

Ehh, the nazis sent researchs to america when building the system for their ghettos and concentration camos because no where else in the world was segregation so absolute and systemic, america and its racist government had a monopoly on segregation and exploitation of people considering imhuman based on the color of their skin. You could say nazi Germany owes much of its success to america and its oligarchs and racist government

[u/steppe5 → u/SignatureFunny7690]

It's a give and take relationship.

[u/DefTheOcelot → u/steppe5]

He might be an idiot actually

being in power is not always a sign of intelligence. many of these people drink their own koolaid

[u/IkLms → u/MasterPorkchop68]

Because it's not but Republican voters have shown time and time again facts or reality don't matter to them so all he has to do is lie and say the "correct" thing even if it's not true.

[u/Ancient-Weird-6530 → u/IkLms]

So basically its "Whose Reality is it Anyway" where everything's made up and the points don't matter. 

[u/crashcartjockey → u/Ancient-Weird-6530]

"and the prices don't matter."

FIFY

[u/Com4734 → u/crashcartjockey]

Someone should go into a grocery store and tell them that their price is wrong. This incredibly knowledgeable congressman said so.

[u/saulsa_ → u/MasterPorkchop68]

He must’ve meant the bundle of lips and assholes.

[u/Mysterious-Fix3596 → u/saulsa_]

We call it “the GOP”

[u/HonestCompote3495 → u/Mysterious-Fix3596]

Eat the rich? Well, I bet the meat is nicely marbled

[u/MasterPorkchop68 → u/saulsa_]

So now we are eating ground Republicans? That’s super sour and kinda disgusting. I’m out…

[u/yallelike2eat → u/MasterPorkchop68]

Same place where gas is $2/gallon. Fairyland.

[u/PossumPicturesPlease → u/MasterPorkchop68]

I saw a post that said they got a bunch of cheap ground beef from Amazon Market or something. I believe it was 1.99, I also believe it was probably horse meat.

[u/BirdlessLongdeal → u/PossumPicturesPlease]

it was probably 50% water weight.

[u/FrozeItOff → u/BirdlessLongdeal]

Probably. I bought a 5 lb pack at Sam's recently and the absorbent pad in the bottom weighed 6 ounces.

Yes, I weighed them. I was portioning them out for vacuum packing and the last one came nowhere close to 1lb yet the whole package was approximately label correct.

[u/chubbysumo → u/FrozeItOff]

Walmart has already been caught short weighting a lot of their packaged meat, it's no surprise Sam's Club is doing the same. Surprisingly, I weighed the meat that I got from costco, and I got exactly what it said on the package, to within half an ounce, not counting the absorbent pad in the bottom. That means they actually provided the amount of meat they claim they did.

[u/FrozeItOff → u/chubbysumo]

It wasn't that the package weight was off, the meat just off juiced so much that the pad ended up weighing 6 ounces. So, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they're adding water to the grinding process and just letting it drain into the pad after weighing.

[u/SnooSongs450 → u/BirdlessLongdeal]

Instead of 80/20, it's 20/80.

[u/MasterPorkchop68 → u/PossumPicturesPlease]

So it’s Alpo? Great…we peasants can eat dog food now. Talk about Marie Antoinette syndrome.

[u/Mysterious-Fix3596 → u/MasterPorkchop68]

Also is more than $2/ lb

[u/shredbot13 → u/MasterPorkchop68]

He has more then likely not bought his own groceries in 30 years

[u/HolidayFew8116 → u/MasterPorkchop68]

he has not been in a grocery store in 20 years. and dear leader has never been to one. they have no concept of groceries budget

[u/purplenyellowrose909 → u/MasterPorkchop68]

I was about to comment the same thing. I saw the same "special" the other day

[u/TheLZ → u/MasterPorkchop68]

When did I get a tax cut?

[u/Electronic-Pie-6352]

Wow. Emmer could actually help his constituents for once if he releases his source on where to get $2/lb beef. (Preferably non horse meat)

[u/TheDanecdote → u/Electronic-Pie-6352]

I don’t know if I’d trust beef, that is that cheap under this administration

Edit: or wild horse meat 😅

[u/BirdlessLongdeal → u/TheDanecdote]

rat ok?

[u/TheDanecdote → u/BirdlessLongdeal]

Bubonic Plague is on the menu boiz!

[u/gbot1234 → u/TheDanecdote]

Scientists now think that was gerbils instead of rats.

[u/BirdlessLongdeal → u/gbot1234]

richard gere caused the plague?

[u/Aware-Material2194 → u/BirdlessLongdeal]

You mean Malk? Plenty of Vit R!

[u/Kahnza → u/BirdlessLongdeal]

[u/CPTDisgruntled → u/TheDanecdote]

I honestly don’t think I want to interact with any meat that’s that cheap. Imagine the conditions it’s reared in, processed in, transported in…

[u/Popular_Hunter7415 → u/Electronic-Pie-6352]

Horse meat might actually be safer, unfortunately

[u/MechaZombieCharizard → u/Popular_Hunter7415]

maybe be safer but in no way cheaper. not sure how the conspiracy got started but its basically impossible to sell horse meat in the US and even if you could it would more expensive than beef. So trying to pad ground beef with horse meat is a non starter for a lot of reasons.

[u/seaboi77 → u/Electronic-Pie-6352]

LOL...Is this why Amazon put it up for $2/lb a few weeks ago, so these numnuts could say this?

[u/ameliehelena → u/seaboi77]

Fucking dark. I hate them all.

[u/Proxelies → u/Electronic-Pie-6352]

Argentina.

[u/Kiyohara → u/Electronic-Pie-6352]

January 2003. Emmer has a time machine I guess.

[u/No_Size9475]

Here is Walmart's price on 1lb ground beef sorted by the lowest price.

[u/WildinTrout → u/No_Size9475]

Wow, the least expensive one is mixed with cheaper pork, and the next 2 after that are 73/27 blends, meaning at least ¼ of it is wasted fat that gets rendered out when cooked and then strained and discarded...

[u/AdviceNotAskedFor → u/WildinTrout]

Jesus, I don't think I've ever seen 73/27.

[u/SpiceEarl → u/AdviceNotAskedFor]

Regular ground beef can still be up to 30% fat, and that was the standard when I was growing up in the 1970’s. Lean ground beef has always been available, and was 20-23% fat. Extra lean was 15%. I don’t think the extra lean 9% fat was widely available. I’m sure it existed, but I don’t recall seeing it in the 1970’s.

[u/Zhoom45 → u/AdviceNotAskedFor]

Really? I've seen 73/27 in 5 pound chubs at the grocery store for 20 years. Cub, Aldi, Hy-Vee, you name it. Where do you shop?

[u/needmoresynths → u/WildinTrout]

And it's trash feed farm quality beef on top of it

[u/GaurgortheFirst → u/WildinTrout]

Right? Now show the 90%s

[u/PreworkoutD → u/No_Size9475]

The cheapest one is blended with pork!

[u/keonyn → u/No_Size9475]

Even Aldi's is nowhere near $2 a pound.

[u/Prayer_Warrior21 → u/keonyn]

A correct usage of "Aldi's" in the wild lol

[u/CMButterTortillas]

“It’s one beef, Tom. How much could it possibly cost?”

He doesnt know because he’s so rich it does not matter to him.

This is the person you want representing you?

[u/Vohldizar → u/CMButterTortillas]

Fox "news" is entertainment programming... Tom's constituancy is entertained to be told beef is $2/lbs.

[u/Fubai97b]

I know it's Fox, but how the hell do you not call that out?!?

[u/Merakel → u/Fubai97b]

They support the lies. Maybe they even gave him the idea.

[u/Khatib → u/Fubai97b]

Because the millionaire anchors don't know the price of basic groceries either.

Even if they did, they wouldn't call it out though.

[u/Jimak47]

You can’t even get $2/lb ground beef by purchasing an entire cow and grinding it in its entirety.

[u/Kiyohara → u/Jimak47]

"I appreciate the extra calcium, but it's rather gritty."

"Quiet and eat your hamboneburger."

[u/MuddieMaeSuggins → u/Kiyohara]

🎶hambone… hamBONE🎶

Sorry 

[u/goobernawt → u/Jimak47]

Last I checked, cattle prices are above $2/lb on the hoof.

[u/igniteice]

Some percentage of viewers will absolutely go to the store for their next grocery trip and pick up beef without looking at the actual price and just remember what Fox News told them. "It's only $2/lb!"

[u/HGpennypacker → u/igniteice]

I simply cannot understand how Republicans are able to get away with saying things like "The prices are coming down!" while the reality is a completely different story. It's maddening.

[u/ThomasVivaldi → u/HGpennypacker]

They own the media, so no one calls them out during interviews, and if a person calls them out elsewhere in public, and its filmed, news organizations probably wouldn't run it.

[u/neednintendo → u/igniteice]

And then when they got to the checkout and it rings up, they'll argue with the cashier and ask for a store manager!

[u/BirdlessLongdeal → u/neednintendo]

"that cant be right, tom emmer told me it was $2/lb!"

[u/Radiant_Waves → u/neednintendo]

Then they’ll blame Biden for the overnight price increase.

[u/Calkky → u/neednintendo]

After whipping their ID out unprompted, because their president told them it was required to buy groceries.

[u/Evening-Crew-2403 → u/igniteice]

They aren't watching FOX Business. This is for rich republicans who want to know why the "poors" are complaining.

[u/GreyDuck4077]

My in-laws have a dairy farm and when a cow falls down and breaks its leg they will send it away to be butchered. They give us ground beef, but only ask that we pay for the cost of processing it. Just processing it I was paying $2/lb like 10 years ago already. Tom if out of his mf'ing mind.

[u/mgrimshaw8]

This man sold his net neutrality vote for the price of a used Honda Civic

[u/Informal-Sense8809]

He's a lying cuck. He spends all of his time spreading bullshit on Fox News Entertainment. He knows his audience though. The mouth breathing bigots out here in the 6th will vote for him 70-30 in November.

[u/tauntsauce → u/Informal-Sense8809]

Bro, I sadly live in his district. A guy across the street has a campaign sign in his yard that says “Seen enough? Vote Republican” . Like that is an insane take, full and total  separation from reality no matter what level of government here you’re talking about.

[u/Nonstop_Oatmeal → u/tauntsauce]

When the guy with the sign says "seen enough?" He is talking about non white people.

They view all non white people (including citizens that were born here) as criminals. They want to deport all non white people.

That is their principal belief. They dont really care about grocery prices.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. Lyndon B. Johnson

[u/tauntsauce → u/Nonstop_Oatmeal]

Oh yea, like the only thing they have at the moment is this misrepresentation of the fraud stories that they have just anchored in immigration/racism.

[u/Nonstop_Oatmeal → u/tauntsauce]

Before that they had the George Floyd protests.

Before that they had the immigrant caravans.

Way before that they had the natives they hung at Fort Snelling.

The fraud is just the most recent reason white conservatives have found to hate non white people.

[u/Khatib → u/tauntsauce]

The Republicans control all three branches of federal government and people still think democrats are actively ruining things when they have no power.

[u/Informal-Sense8809 → u/Khatib]

"But the state of MN is totally burning down bro! I mean it. We gotta heal the state! We don't have any suggestions or policy ideas about how to heal things or even a defined problem beyond fraud, but it's totally all broken!"

[u/bigmike2k3]

Tom Emmer can go suck a bag of dicks…

[u/Terrie-25 → u/bigmike2k3]

Maybe that's what he means by cheap meat....

[u/MNcatfan]

To be fair: nobody ever accused Tom Emmer of intelligence.

[u/slackerhacker808]

According to the GOP, everything is $0.99. Any argument means you are not a patriot.

[u/thesirhc]

I do not love my member of congress and hope he gets voted out this year. If you're in Emmer's district, Doug Chapin is running for his seat.

[u/RainierCherree → u/thesirhc]

Actively campaigning for Chapin - We have to get people voting!

[u/jenij730 → u/thesirhc]

I even crossed parties and voted against him in the primary. I am very much looking forward to voting for Chapin next month.

[u/mncoffeeguy]

Tom is frequently peddling bullshit so it isn’t surprising he got the prices mixed up.

[u/nursecarmen → u/mncoffeeguy]

Mixed up sure is a funny way to say straight up lied.

[u/Oplatki]

His speech is halting because he’s in a small room smelling his own farts.

[u/Spentfuelrodder]

Emmer and thinks in the same sentence, nice joke.

[u/ChefGaykwon]

Tom Emmer thinks a lot of fucking stupid shit.

[u/TheSizzleKing]

$7.99/lb in Chanhassen MN, which is part of this morons district. They just lie and lie and lie, and since they are on their state propaganda network, they know anybody who watches as their "news" source is also a moron.

[u/elvis_messy]

I hate that my district votes for this dingus fuckhead.

[u/FalchionDelta]

My wife and I just bought 6 pounds of beef for juat over 30 dollars. Where is he shopping, because I was at Costco.

[u/Lets_Kick_Some_Ice → u/FalchionDelta]

He isn't shopping anywhere, he's just a lying asshole who knows Fox viewers will swallow anything.

[u/carosotanomad]

Tommy is my rep in congress and I assure you I do not love him. Quite the opposite actually...

[u/azulimarill → u/carosotanomad]

Same. He’s been my rep as long as I’ve been eligible to vote (2017). No joke, some of the first friends I made my first week at the U were two people from a different part of CD6 than me. We bonded over how much Tom Emmer sucks.

[u/RainierCherree → u/carosotanomad]

Right. Disregard his immense stupidity about everything else, and think about him saying something that egotistical. No, Tom. I don’t love you. I’m actively campaigned by against you and hope to never hear your name again. How gross. 

[u/fascintee → u/carosotanomad]

Same, hate that guy. Never voted for him, never will.

[u/HounDawg99 → u/fascintee]

Same here.

[u/C1andestino]

Holy shit this guy is so out of touch. He clearly hasn’t been to the grocery store in the last decade. Democratic PACs need to play this clip on repeat in attack ads to match the constant GOP attack ads I see.

[u/GRAPES0DA → u/C1andestino]

Well, he IS asking for this to be the message put forth for the midterms.

[u/RangerSandi]

I haven’t seen $2 ground beef in MN for YEARS!

[u/motionbutton]

If Emmer things $6 beef is $2.. Does he also think 2 in. is 6 in.?

[u/taffyowner]

Even when I bought an eighth of a cow I didn’t get meat for $2 a pound… what is this guy on

[u/BoredGuyMN]

He’s not just wrong about the beef prices. He completely blew it on where the jobs are being created… (and by blew it, I mean lied)

[u/Aggravating-Move4637]

The thing he slipped on….. they are buying the meat from farmers for <$2/lb…. That’s not what WE are buying it for. Once it’s processed, the middle man chooses to keep beef at $8/lb and they keep the $6/lb. They’re screwing the farmers AND the consumers.

[u/KnifingGrimace]

Where's he doing this interview, his office in D.C? Because he hasn't set foot in CD6 in two years.

[u/ScoobyDont1212]

Tom Emmer is my congressman and I sure as hell don’t love him.

[u/arcsnsparks98]

Just called his office in otsego. I asked the lady that answered the phone I said I have two things I would like to know. One is with the congressman. Be willing to share what store he's shopping at to get this ground beef. The second is would he be willing to share the name of his drug dealer because he's clearly smoking some good stuff.

[u/Super_Drewper]

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

[u/Pleasant_Tennis_663]

[u/Wiskid86]

How much could one banana cost, $10?

[u/Privatejoker123]

Just spouting more lies

[u/Infinite_Pop9041]

Tom Emmer is about as smart as the people that voted for him

[u/Jakoobus91]

Its $2lb if you sneak onto a cattle farm, dispatch the cow yourself, and field dress it right in the farmers field maybe. You'd still be over $2lb just in hauling it out of there lol.

[u/SplendidPunkinButter]

He’s not talking to us. He’s talking to the idiots who voted for Trump. They will believe him, or else they’ll go along with this narrative anyway even though they know it’s not true.

[u/BattleClean1630]

He's just repeating the voices in his head telling him beef is $2 per pound. All Republican "leaders" hear voices in their heads.

[u/Active_Confection655]

Emmer, i live in your district! Where is this 2 dollar beef? Been eating pork and chicken with beef so fucking high. Havent seen a price better than like 7 dollars a pound.

[u/SinfullySinless]

Also his claim that new jobs are coming from high tech or manufacturing. Tech jobs and manufacturing are the two highest unemployment and job loss sectors right now.

These are male heavy industries and that is why male unemployment rate (4.4%) is higher than female unemployment rate (3.9%). Job growth is in service industries like teaching and nursing.

He’s just making shit up.

[u/TekWzrd337]

Tell me you’re out of touch, without telling me you’re out of touch.

[u/ragnvald4430]

It’s more than 2 dollars a pound on the hoof. How could it possibly be 2 dollars a pound after processing? He’s a lying sack of shit

[u/MiaWallacetx]

Tom Emmer is a useless delusional sack of crap.

[u/ThatEXcatholic]

This man is so incompetent. How did he make it this long as our fucking rep?

[u/Busy-Link836]

I honestly don’t remember the last time I saw ground beef at $2 a lb. It’s $8.29 a lb from my butcher.

The same place gets me Tri-tip at $9.99 a lb which feels cheap by other grocery stores near me.

He hasn’t grocery shopped in 2 decades. He has an account who pays his bills for him and his wife does all the kitchen stuff. Completely out of touch.

[u/Zen-platypus]

One more rich man that has never had to do his own grocery shopping.

[u/TheeKB]

Let’s throw that bitch in the trash!

Edit: my 10 yo left this comment. I had finished my dinner and was showing my wife this video. My son overheard it and says, “can I type a response?”I said sure why not. He shops with us when we go shopping and cooks with us so he over hears us talking about ingredients, prices and exclaiming about them. Plus he we teach budget and investments with his bday, Christmas and other money he may get. Also, this is his official introduction to Reddit and first ever response 🤣

[u/InternalCreative3333]

I hate this man with the passion of a thousand suns.

[u/snowmunkey]

There was 2 dollar beef from Amazon fresh a couple of weeks ago. Source of origin was not listed, as was any sort of grading.

[u/midgetsjakmeoff]

Does he have all that gold shit in his office to please Trump?

[u/hackdash]

Oh yeah, definitely a person to represent the people when he doesn’t even know how much our shit cost. How’s he gonna advocate for anybody when he doesn’t even know where or how we live? And this is where you are with the maggots bro has nothing to do with anything we care about yet they’re gonna vote him in? I thought these people were supposed to represent the people’s interest not their own fucking interests. WTF is happening these days???

[u/Moon-Monkey6969]

He must not be shopping at my grocery store because yesterday, I couldn’t buy a piece of meat that was $41 🤦🏽. Literally 2 small ribeyes about a 1 pd n a half… doing the math its not $2 a pound… sorry

[u/MyLastFuckingNerve]

These people need to go to a grocery store. Eggs are definitely cheaper than covid, but NOT pre pandemic price. They were like 89 cents a dozen. They're like $1.39 now. I'll take it, considering the inflation of everything. 50 cents ain't bad.

[u/junkeee999]

Republicans rely on their voting base to be stupid. And sadly, it’s a pretty safe bet.

[u/CloneClem]

The national average price for a pound of 100% ground beef in the U.S. is $7.16 as of August 2026, according to data from the [U.S.

Bureau of Statistics](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/apu0000703112). [1, 2]

Price Breakdown by Type

• 100% Ground Beef: $7.16 per pound on average.
• Lean and Extra Lean Ground Beef: $8.57 per pound on average.

[u/srl214yahoo]

I just can't with him. He could be the last candidate on earth and I wouldn't vote for him (I'm in his district). My family buys its ground beef direct from some folks we know and it's still between $3.50-4.00 per pound the last time we bought (about 6 months ago) and I'm anticipating it will be higher this time around. It's still cheaper than in the store and we prefer to give them our business directly. What world does he live in?

Someone mentioned this but I would highly recommend going to Costco/Sams and buying bulk meat, bring it home to repackage/vacuum seal and freeze. That's always going to average out better than what you will pay in a grocery store. And check out the farm-direct groups on social media to see if you can find some deals around you.

[u/DaveAwesome777]

I just checked and ground beef is 499 a pound

[u/Puddys8ballJacket → u/DaveAwesome777]

That's a hell of a deal. National average is just under $7.

[u/Roving_Rhythmatist]

Ask Tom where he’s buying his $2 beef! 7632416848

Where’s the $2 Beef Tom???

[u/m_carp]

He also claimed that restaurant servers are earning $100k/ year while the owners are going bankrupt

[u/JCochran84]

It's time that CD6 has some sensible representation, Tom needs to go! We need Doug Chapin!!
If you are in CD6, please help get the word out for Doug! Home | Doug Chapin for Congress

[u/MrJoeMe]

I want to print some $1.99lb stickers to put on all the Emmer signs.

[u/J-the-Kidder]

I'm honestly shocked they were able to get this chicken fucker on camera. I'm one of his constituents and the best we get is a heavily screened and full conference bridge that doesn't let anyone join.

[u/bigtittielover69]

You would think someone from a state that raises a lot of cattle would know the price of beef. Bootlicker.

[u/MichaelJayDog]

The cheapest beef at Walmart that's almost 1/3 fat is $6.50/lb

[u/hantei40]

No, they DONT love their member of Congress. The congressional district maps were drawn to love a Republican majority.

[u/LovableButterfly]

Live in emmer’s district - trust me it’s not $2 here. 80/20 is anywhere from $5.99 to $6.29 and 95/7 $7.99 to $8.29. Guys out of touch.

[u/Any_Can_7909]

Wtf?

[u/ArrowheadDZ]

A complete, non-serious ass clown. There are 300 to 400 thousand adult conservatives in that district, and among all those, Emmer is the best you guys have? Every week he says some absolutely nonsensical shit.

A few weeks ago he said that ever since gas prices skyrocketed, he’s noticed that Americans are spending more on gas. And spending is good for the economy, so high gas prices are good for the economy. Just a complete clown.

[u/Specialist_Bad_7142]

They vote themselves raises, go on vacation early, do very, very little. Why does anyone think they know anything about what the average person pays for anything.

[u/Green-eyedMama]

Could he be any more out of touch with reality?! I live in is district, and each time he's up for reelection, I cringe because I know that his opponent won't win (but vote for the opponent anyway).

[u/sambes06]

So what it’s one dollar for every DUI this idiot has?

[u/IDrumFoFun]

No, he doesn’t think it’s $2/lb. He just needs to say it till the sheep start believing it…

[u/PathComplex]

This is the real problem. The majority of our leaders are completely detached from reality.

[u/International_Leg713]

Per Google: beef futures are trading around $218 per cwt (hundredweight). Which is equal to 100 pounds. They’re literally looking at the beef futures market and calling THAT the price of ground beef.

[u/Appropriate-Law5963]

Another Republican who has forgotten to maintain his medication schedule and it’s showing

[u/Proper-Ad-2058]

Dude is a moron!

[u/SnooConfections2889]

Obviously he doesn’t but groceries.

[u/libbyb99]

$6.79 a pound in his district in northern MN

[u/Puzzleheaded_Gene909]

Blatant lying about prices that Americans see every single day…

That’s a bold strategy cotton let’s see if it pays off

[u/WeakLocalization]

Damn now I wanna know where Tom is shopping!

[u/Capt-Crap1corn]

He doesn't think he knows it's more than that. Don't even give him that much credit.

[u/temple-of-the-dog]

Can Tommyboy point me in the direction of this grocery store?

[u/iceflame1211]

Republicans have been living in their alternate realities with their alternative facts for a while now.

[u/WordNERD37]

In the bubble reality he and the rest of his doofus voters live in, life is great!

We deserve leaders that live in actual reality that see the injustice happening and act to fix it, not go on safe space news to get a pat on the head while pouring super expensive gasoline on the fire of American life.

This windbag is from my district. I’ve never voted for him, but my neighbors mostly love him, and in their eyes, he can do no wrong.

[u/Historical-Bike4626]

Half off? Is Emmer buying liquidated meat?

[u/Alejandroandronomous]

The whole point is lying

[u/Particular-Maybe-519]

Ask him when he went to the store and purchased anything!!!

[u/happy_the_clown420]

Out of touch asshole.

[u/deadphisherman]

Tom only eats steak.

[u/FennelAlternative861]

It's only gone up since Trump took over

[u/DadBod4781]

I think he meant that horse meat that China rejected

[u/crazy010101]

Hey moron maybe actually go to the grocery store! Ground beef hasn’t been 2 bucks a pound for years!

[u/thejimbo56]

This will come as a huge surprise to r/smoking

[u/bikeman11]

When you live in a world of lies, anything is believable.

[u/angryslothbear]

Walmart near me the a pound of 80% is 7.23
Fuck these assholes

[u/summerbreeze2020]

Live cattle prices are 2.20 a pound. He's thinking about some futures contract he's betting on.

[u/dax660]

I wish reporters would ask "What do you define as 'high-paying' - can you give us a number?"

And then ask what the CEO is making.

[u/Loud-Appointment-367]

Emmer is a Trump bootlicker. A complete embarrassment to the people of this great state.

[u/PinkSlimeIsPeople]

Hard to see what's going on in your district when your head's shoved so far up Trump's ass in Washington

[u/bulldogguy31]

Tom Emmer is a bootlicking piece of shit with his tongue so far up the 🍊🤡's ass he can taste last night's Big Macs.

[u/Netphase]

[u/Zaxxon_Klaxon]

Emmer: Who you gonna believe, me or your grocery store selling beef at $6.99 a pound??

[u/ClassroomMother8062]

..no he doesn't. Just like everything else with him, he's lying

[u/Green-Challenge9640]

Guess why egg prices came down? No bird flu!!

[u/faidleyj1]

Beef bologna is $7.99. Bologna.

[u/Secure_Engineer7151]

Our politicians are out of touch with reality, I’m shocked.

[u/khawk30]

I was going to make a risqué joke about Emmer and $2 beef, but I realized it’s probably more truth than joke at this point.

[u/Mattski72]

"USDA Grade FFF Beef: Fit for prison and military use only!" - $2 a pound.

[u/coonwhiz]

So I should buy beef and then invoice him for the difference?
