Critics highlight disconnect between attack and economic reality

Multiple commenters pointed out the irony and logical inconsistency of attacking vegetarianism while meat prices have risen sharply, suggesting many people have adopted vegetarian diets due to economic necessity rather than choice.
“Many Americans are now vegetarians because we can't afford beef/meat because of Trump's war and Trump's tariffs.”

Byron Donalds was attached to Trump and MAGA like the center of a human centipede until he decided election season was time to run from the restaurant.
-

Does he think it's criminal to eat only fruits and vegetables?
-

I don’t have any problem with a vegetarian governor. It better than being arrested for drugs and fraud. cbwrong.
-
F
He can scrub Trump from his websites and every campaign ad, but you are correct, he's still part of that centipede
-
And at the same time they are telling people to be a vegetarian because beef is too high. They can’t figure out the combo of their gaslighting and insults, yet.
-
But they're really good at othering. I wonder what they'll start picking on when people's diets fail to deliver culture war points for them.
-
Republicans have nothing to offer the people, only cultural wars, bullying & lies
-
Because Byron hopes all the stupid Florida voters have forgotten.
-
What an odd strategy. Who cares what someone eats? “Byron Donalds liked pepperoni on his pizza. Now he has ham!” Oh man. I can’t vote for that guy.
-
It’s terrifying to live in a country where a candidate being outed as a vegan would cost them votes.
-
That bad habit Republicans have of telling people what to do, what to do with their bodies, and what to eat.
-
Someone should tell Byron that meat right now is actually off the menu. Recalls, anyone?
-
He knows that the average Floridian thinks that vegetarians are space aliens
-
Being a vegetarian or a vegan doesn't make you a weirdo. It just means you care about how animals are treated. Or don't want to eat all that fat. Or want to live a healthy lifestyle. Or just want to annoy repuglicans. JFC. Get over it, GOP.

This is as damning as Republicans claiming Talarico is a “vegan”because he enjoys a breakfast taco with potatoes eggs and cheese, 2/3 of which are not vegan.
-
Byron Donalds had his nose up Trump's asshole for years, then erased all mention of him on his website when the election neared.
-
Donalds is DeSantis on steroids. I can just imagine the mass exodus from Florida if he is elected—which is highly probable.
-
Fun fact Byron Donalds used to be a Democrat. Donalds thinks he fits in. Fake cowboy. #VoteJolly
-
Yeah, I don't think calling someone a vegan is quite the slam magas might think
-
They DO have furries and farts. What more could an American citizen want.
-
Oh Byron. You’re gonna have to do mucho better than that my dude.😆
-
Pathetic. Everyone is their enemy just because they suck at running a country. JD Vance wants another two years to complete what they started...they only thing they started was Project 2025. All-in-all, that seems to be the only thing they're not f*cking up.
-
Byron Donalds really doesn't want to talk about how he spent his entire term up til now selling out his own race and Floridians at large and has reversed course now to jump off the USS MAGA.
-
What is their “beef” with following a vegetarian diet? The Republicans are really going down a rabbit hole on this one. Maybe they should grab a carrot on the way might be good for them.
