A Fox News guest blamed Joe Biden after buying a Thanksgiving turkey for $90 – these 15 people cried ‘fowl’
Former Utah congressional representative, Jason Chaffetz, served up some pure nonsense on Fox News – and the host gobbled it up.
Watch what happened.
Chaffetz: We went to go buy a turkey today. It was $90! It’s all a choice by Joe Biden pic.twitter.com/cz02ZF8v40

“We went to go buy a turkey today, it was $90 for a turkey!”
“The price of stamps is up 32 per cent in the last four years. But it’s all a choice by Joe Biden, that’s what Bidenomics is!“
This year, he’s thankful for the opportunity to throw shade at Joe Biden because he got suckered into paying too much for a turkey.
Fox News may have lapped it up, but everyone else cried foul – as the community notes explained …
However, Chaffetz posted proof that there are expensive turkeys out there.
Happy Thanksgiving!! pic.twitter.com/eTQb6sdotS

There’s a £2,000 jar of honey in Harrods – doesn’t mean you can’t get one for 75p in Tesco. Other supermarkets are available.
Turkeygate went viral, and these comments show exactly what people thought of it.

“But Americans can be grateful that turkey prices have been dropping in 2023, so the bird isn't gobbling up as much as the budget as it has in the past. The Farm Bureau put a $27.35 price tag on a 16-pound gobbler this year, which is $1.71 a pound, or 5.6% less than this time… https://t.co/0zLbt8XG0A

Chaffetz lives in Alpine, Utah.
This is the cost at his local grocery store. (I did the research. I’m petty like that.)
Dude could get a turkey *delivered* for $30.
No shock he lied so absurdly. This dude’s shopping cart has never been full of brains or honesty. https://t.co/uwioQFuEPn pic.twitter.com/x7IX2Bh36Q

Sounds like Trump has opened a turkey selling business & found some friendly buyers willing to pay his price https://t.co/nI3uJGhpk4

The elites on Fox News have no idea how much a turkey costs. https://t.co/QP015FlrUE

Raise your hand if you’ve never seen a $90 turkey in your life.
It’s literally impossible for these folks to tell the truth about anything. https://t.co/bCnlPIlKsm

Imagine you were so far gone that you believed Biden personally chose to wreck your Thanksgiving. Try to imagine how hostile and frightening the world must look to you, how disoriented and adrift you must feel. I figure that’s what gives Trump his Carl Schmitt-style tribal appeal https://t.co/3uMyAxqZay

He’s full of shit. The cost of Thanksgiving dinner is down this year and it’s specifically because turkey is cheaper. https://t.co/FE5v9ReHDS https://t.co/3OMi51WzfI pic.twitter.com/Er8N9IY0Xv

No dang Turkey costs $90. More lies from Fox News and they LOVE it. What kind of turkey is this Turkey buying, an ostrich?
He’s probably describing his entire bill but to say this is more rhetorical lies and plain disingenuous.

Some of you have never bought a 160 lb turkey from Whole Foods and it really shows https://t.co/4RWGfLzdtF

I mean it’s one turkey, Michael. What could it cost? Ninety dollars? https://t.co/0WztNnqz5x pic.twitter.com/5PfZbSFXIW

Brian Tyler Cohen hit the nail on the head.
I’ll never get the point of lying so blatantly when it’s about something that everyone else is *also* buying right now. Unless you’re getting a 20+ lb turkey, it’s not going to cost $90. https://t.co/sImaVbARI8

It takes a special kind of stupid.
