Fox News went to the Johnny V’s Classic Diner is Wisconsin ahead of its hosting of a town hall with Amy Klobuchar and this Trump supporter eating 10 eggs, for some reason, became the target of liberal ire. “Holy crap!’ Vox’s Aaron Rupar exclaimed:
Holy crap! Check out how many eggs this Trump fan had on his plate during an interview with Fox & Friends at a Milwaukee diner pic.twitter.com/X8OFusIv6z

Bobby Lewis of Media Matters was particularly triggered by this man’s thoughts on socialism:
"it's totally ridiculous. they're promising people everything; free this, free that, free this, free that. and in actuality if you sit down and look at it, that's buying votes." pic.twitter.com/j7TZMlJmqp

Some accused Fox News of staging the delicious looking breakfast:
here we go: the massive order of eggs spotted in fox and friends' "breakfast with friends" segment appears multiple times in different shots, in front of different diners, as it was part of a prop plate cooked by diner staff before taping https://t.co/vvlY7xgsyu

Here it is again with different customers:

But upon investigation, they discovered this wasn’t staged at all but a 5lb breakfast challenge, and now we totally want to try it, too:
Finally, we have an answer. It’s not on the regular menu but this diner offers a 5lb food challenge.
I added up the calories and this meal is 2,421… assuming he doesn’t add any syrup and butter to those 8 pancakes.
(The recommended caloric intake is 2,500 per day for a man.) pic.twitter.com/uk2jOCoy6m

And this is still a commentary on socialism for some reason:
So Fox News just interviewed this guy in a diner complaining about Democrats promising people "free this, free that" while he is in the midst of eating a "5LB breakfast challenge" that is… wait for it… free if you finish within 1 hour. pic.twitter.com/z3rf73JQrh

Others not triggered by the eggs took issue with the “Robert E. Lee Special” which includes two biscuits with gravy, two sausage, two eggs and hash browns for only $10.99:
