During a recent episode of “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough was visibly taken aback when his co-host and wife, Mika Brzezinski, disclosed the dramatic increase in butter prices over the past four years.
Scarborough recounted a conversation he had with a potential Kamala Harris voter who expressed concern about Trump’s potential victory, citing butter prices exceeding $3 as a reason. Initially, Scarborough dismissed this perspective as overly simplistic.

However, Brzezinski interjected, revealing that butter now costs $7. Scarborough, clearly stunned, questioned if the butter was “framed in gold.” Brzezinski solemnly confirmed the price, noting that it varies depending on the store.
As the conversation unfolded, a graphic displaying NBC exit poll data appeared on screen, showing that 46% of Americans feel their economic situation has worsened compared to four years ago. Scarborough used this moment to address the country’s ongoing struggle with inflation.

He emphasized the impact of rising costs on everyday items like groceries and gas, stating that for working-class Americans, the answer to their economic concerns was straightforward when comparing current prices to those of four years ago.
Brzezinski concurred with Scarborough’s assessment, underscoring the significance of these economic challenges for the average American household.
