It’s safe to say leading Never-Trumper Joe Scarborough has not visited a grocery store in years because his jaw practically dropped Thursday morning when he learned the cost of one common food.
Scarborough and his wife, Mika Brzezinski, had a segment on MSNBC’s Morning Joe where they attempted to analyze the reasons why Kamala Harris suffered such a catastrophic defeat two days ago. Scarborough started by telling a story about how a Harris supporter approached him and shared why he thought President Trump would prevail.
According to Scarborough, the man explained that he noticed the price of butter was over $3 when he went to the grocery store. Scarborough found this “reductive” but told the man he made a “good point.”
Scarborough’s point was to provide an example of how rising prices played a crucial role in deciding the presidential election, even though he thought voters were missing the bigger picture. But Brzezinski then pointed out her husband made a critical mistake: the cost of butter is actually $7, not $3.
When she dropped this little truth bomb, Scarborough was absolutely flabbergasted. He even suggested that butter must be framed in gold for this to be true.
WATCH:
On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough is still trying to square how Kamala Harris lost so bad and was SHOCKED to learn about the high price of groceries.

SCARBOROUGH: I want to talk about the economy for a second.
Three 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, “Why is that?” He goes: “I went to the grocery store. Butter is over $3.”
I kind of laughed and said, “Well, that’s kind of reductive, isn’t it?” I said it to myself, and to him, I said, “Good Point”…
BRZEZINSKI: $7. (laughter behind the scenes) I’m just saying. $7.
SCARBOROUGH: What’s that?! Butter is $7?! What?! Is it framed in gold?
