      Someone on Twitter joked about JD Vance talking about using a glove and couch to get his rocks off in Hillbilly Elegey on page xxx. This exploded, leading to AP news to release a factcheck titled something like “No, JD Vance didn’t have sex with a couch”, stating there is no reference to that on the quoted page.

      Then, AP removed the article, saying it didn’t meet their standards, leading to the joke to explode again. The explanation for the removal is that AP definitely said he didn’t fuck a couch in the title, but that’s impossible to prove, only that he didn’t talk about it on page xxx of his book.

      He wrote about couch fucking in his book like it’s something everyone does. He likes to add a lubed glove.

      I miss when I didn’t know this sort of thing about the candidates…

        The story about him writing it was under “telling lies on the Internet” so it was obviously a joke, but it got traction anyway and while it’s possible to show it’s not in the book, it’s impossible to show he’s never mentioned such a thing, and/or never done it. Plus of course he just looks like a Davenport Debauching Douche.
