As the Ohio senator sets out on the campaign trail as the GOP’s vice presidential nominee, social media users are making false claims about the contents of “Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis.”

    No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch

    Sounds like something some one who had sex with a couch would say.

      Technically it wasn’t sex.

        That was what he said. To get out of child support payments.

        Those poor little footstools are gonna have a hard life when they become chase lounges.

        Especially because they’re ugly.

    Title is misleading. A better title would be, “No JD Vance did not write about having sex with a couch in his memoir.”

    For all we know, he may have fucked a plethora of furniture that did not make it into his memoir.

        It does seem like an oddly specific denial.

          With how it’s worded, it could even imply that he did reach completion, just that he was too selfish to help the couch get there.

            And the next sentence is ‘That is a lie.’

            Is this calling the claim of his bad couch loving a lie, or his previous sentence where he denied it?

    A searchable PDF of the memoir includes 10 mentions of the word “couch” or “couches,” …But at no point in his memoir does Vance write about performing sex acts on a couch

    AP: “We’re not actually reading that garbage but Ctrl+F find nothing.”

    An Associated Press reporter reviewed pages 179 to 181 in a physical copy

    “Ok,we read 3 pages.”

      “AP… did you eat your vegetables?”

      “Oh? Oh Really? Well how many did you eat?”

      “No. I mean eat. Not just pushed around the plate…”

      “That’s it. No more couch fuckin’ til you’ve finished your corn!”

    Whoever Harris picks for veep, I’d like to see an ad of them saying “I believe JD Vance when he says he never had sex with his couch.”

      True is it was a futon… But since futons can “transform” JD could never admit to sleeping with something “trans”

    This is so fucking funny.

    When the main discourse around your new running mate is whether or not he fucked a couch, you did not pick a strong candidate. Trumps gotta be pissed.

    I think you have to write “JD Vance did not have sex with a couch once” or else it’s potentially libel.
