In a recent briefing, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt pointed fingers at President Biden for rising egg prices and shortages, claiming his inflationary policies led to the mass culling of chickens. However, the culling was a response to avian influenza, a policy in place during Trump's term as well. Since February 2021, the price of eggs has surged dramatically. While Leavitt’s comments hold some truth regarding job cuts, they lack the contextual background about the reasons behind the culling.
Leavitt attributed the rising egg prices to Biden's inflationary policies and the culling of over 100 million chickens, igniting debate about the true causes and context.
The culling of millions of chickens has been a longstanding response to bird flu outbreaks, a policy consistently implemented across different administrations including Trump's.
