<p>MSNBC&#8217;s Joe Scarborough expressed shock on Thursday when he learned how expensive the cost of butter was for many Americans, prompting him to ask if it was wrapped in gold.</p>
<p>The moment came on the network&#8217;s &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; show with his wife, co-host Mika Brzezinski, as they discussed why President-elect Donald Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to talk about the economy for a second,&#8221; he said. &#8220;A few weeks ago, three weeks ago, somebody who was going to be voting for Kamala Harris came up to me and said, &#8216;Oh my god, Trump&#8217;s going to win.&#8217; I go, &#8216;Why is that?&#8217; He goes, &#8216;I just, I went to the grocery store, butter is over $3.'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I kind of laughed and I said, &#8216;Well, that&#8217;s kind of reductive, isn&#8217;t it?&#8217; I said it to myself,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;To him, I smiled, and I said, &#8216;Good point.&#8217; But it actually, everything we&#8217;re hearing after the election is&#8211;&#8221;</p>
<p>Brzezinski then interrupted and pointed out that butter actually costs $7, not $3.</p>

<p>&#8220;Butter is $7?&#8221; Scarborough asked. What, is it framed in gold?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Okay, well, yeah, okay, well, anyway, my point is this, the rent is too damn high, and this guy was saying the cost of butter is way damn too high,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And so I thought it was a bit reductive.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It ended up being just the point, that if you look at the cost of groceries, if you look at the cost of gas, if you look at the cost of things compared to four years ago, it was a very simple answer for working-class Americans: things just cost too much,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p dir="ltr" lang="en">On today&#8217;s Morning Joe, Scarborough is still trying to square how Kamala Harris lost so bad and was SHOCKED to learn about the high price of groceries.</p>
<p>Scarborough was floored when a friend told him butter was $3 and he almost fell out of his chair when Mika Brzezinski told him… <a href="https://t.co/6MelvWoput">pic.twitter.com/6MelvWoput</a></p>
