Hey, Twitchy readers. We're hoping you're relaxing after a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. We also hope you're not broke now. Remember President Joe Biden's first Independence Day in office, when the government bragged that your Fourth of July barbecue was going to cost $0.16 less than the previous year under President Trump? That whopping savings didn't last long as inflation peaked around 9 percent.
Democratic Party Chair Ken Martin says that the meal you just had cost $1,000 — the most expensive turkey dinner in history. We're guessing that includes the airfare it cost you to get wherever that dinner was.
The Trump sticker shock at Thanksgiving this year is real. Everything—from turkey to airline fares—has become more expensive.

This is set to be the most expensive Thanksgiving in history, costing the average American $1,000.
This… isn’t remotely accurate. https://t.co/RPwneLKB88

This is another cut and post email they are using. It isn’t remotely true. DoorDash says the average cost of Thanksgiving is down about 25%, and they would know.

More expensive? You can get a turkey for $0.49 a pound here in Florida.

I've seen dozens of Dems quoting this from the NY Post. Are we pricing a fresh turkey or frozen? My 22lb. frozen Butterball was .97lb. $21.34. Add potatoes, stuffing mix, assorted salad veg, green beans, corn casserole fixins, dinner rolls, 2 pies, total $43 for 11 people.

Enjoy the ratio
Today's talking point.

Who writes the Democrats' daily script?
I thought your people listened to NPR?https://t.co/cyELBbWTCn

I’ve now heard that precise erroneous talking point —almost word for word—from at least a dozen different accounts in the last 24 hours- I guess you got the memo too…

PS. Mom just bought a turkey for 34 cents per lb! 🤯
The memo probably came from Martin. But Dems are always more than happy to pass the memo along.
