    So a guy on twitter made up a story about Vance admitting to fucking a couch in Hillbilly Elegy, which is verifiably false.

    AP posts an article which says as much, but it’s titled ‘No, JDVance did not have sex with a couch’, which is a slightly different claim. Since they can’t affirmatively prove that Vance hasn’t ever fucked a couch, they took the article down.

    And people took that and ran with it.

      It’s funny and he can’t prove otherwise. I’m OK with it. It’s a stupid bullshit meme that doesn’t mean anything, but that’s fine.
