A rare public fight has broken out inside MAGA over the cost of living, exposing a split between figures who now admit prices are crushing people and those who insist the problem is fake.

• Matt Walsh, Charlie Kirk's TPUSA crew, and Jack Posobiec are suddenly saying groceries, housing, and healthcare are unaffordable and that ignoring it is political suicide.
• Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and Catturd push back, calling the complaints fake, coordinated, or the fault of people who "buy $20 burritos on DoorDash."
• JD Vance jumped in with a fat joke aimed at Levin, and the whole spat turned personal fast.
• The rebels' real fear is that their own audiences are hurting and drifting toward socialists, so the messaging is shifting even without any policy behind it.
• Polls cited show 95% of Americans feel there's an affordability crisis, and most doubt Washington will fix it.

Outlook: Expect the right to keep talking more about prices while blaming Biden, but with little sign of actual policy to bring costs down.
