Fact checkers had to deny JD Vance had sex with a sofa – if you were wondering how well it’s going (NSFW)
In case you weren’t aware, vice-presidential hopeful JD Vance is the author of a best-selling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, which was made into a film starring Glenn Close and Amy Adams.
It describes Vance’s rise from poverty through hard work and determination. What it does not describe – despite some very persistent rumours – is him trying to have sex with a sofa. Yes, with, not on.
With the announcement that he would be Trump’s running mate, the memes ramped up. It’s – as you probably guessed – not always safe for work.

The Vance story is just getting worse…
Many of these couches and sofas were in retirement homes. Some in their 70’s and even 80’s! One Bassett Southwest style couch was so confused they assumed Vance had not grown up with furniture and didnt know how to sit properly. Another… pic.twitter.com/OuFjtDom8b— Duncan Jones (@ManMadeMoon) July 25, 2024

The meme went so viral that several news outlets have seen fit to issue fact-checks.

If he’s upset by the rumours – or the fact-checking – perhaps these funny reactions might cushion the blow. Or blow the cu …never mind.

I prefer the vice presidential candidates who do not have to deny they have sex with a couch.

Are they honestly trying to convince me that JD Vance didn't have sex with a single couch? Look at his face! That's the face of a couch fucking man and you can't convince me otherwise. pic.twitter.com/1PxtT8dFAy

I would genuinely like to understand how this was fact checked because as far as I can tell there is absolutely no way of verifying this. Couches cannot talk. I am sure he’s been alone with dozens, hundreds, maybe thousands of couches over the course of his lifetime https://t.co/i2iBSYvLWO
