As restaurant prices continue to soar, Biden found himself in an awkward position during a visit to a North Carolina restaurant he had previously stopped by in 2020. Senator Phil Berger wasted no time highlighting the stark increase in prices at this specific establishment since Biden assumed the presidency.
From Western Journal:
Berger posted a photo of Biden at the same fast-food vendor three years earlier, focusing on the prices on the menus displayed on the back wall.
Clearly, Biden’s staff had missed this display of Bidenomics at work right behind the president.
The earlier photo was taken on Oct. 18, 2020, when Biden was in Durham campaigning for the 2020 presidential election.
In the 2020 photograph, the menu pictured in the background showed the price of a Cookout tray, which was $5.99 at the time.
In contrast, the photograph taken Thursday showed an almost identical menu at the same restaurant now charging $7.69 for the Cookout tray, according to Newsweek.
“Thanks to #Bidenomics, a Cook Out tray costs 28% more than it did three years ago when Biden had his previous photo op,” Berger tweeted.
