- Sen. JD Vance’s 2024 campaign has been dogged by viral jokes that he once had sex with a couch.
- To be clear, he did not write about having intercourse with a couch in “Hillbilly Elegy.”
- Instead of skirting all furniture mentions, Vance referenced a couch at his Nevada rally on Tuesday.
Sen. JD Vance of Ohio has had a rough start to his 2024 run .
For one, a joke that Vance may once have had intercourse with a couch has been going viral on social media platforms from X to TikTok.
It all started on July 15 when an X user, who later spoke to Business Insider, posted a joke about Vance and a couch.
To be clear, the pages of Vance’s bestselling memoir ” Hillbilly Elegy ” don’t describe such a sex act. The Associated Press even tried to debunk the claim — but ended up taking the article down, saying the fact-check didn’t go through its “standard editing process.”
