No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch

CLAIM: Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance wrote in his 2016 memoir about having sex with a couch.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. Vance does not write about performing such an act in his bestselling book. A searchable PDF of the memoir includes 10 mentions of the word “couch” or “couches,” none of which are related to accounts of salacious escapades. Some social media users have claimed the story appears on pages 179 to 181, where Vance actually writes about his first days as a freshman at The Ohio State University.

AP, that is too clever by half. Its slander in the guise of a "fact check".

I also know it to be false that the AP author moonlights in "donkey shows" in the Bronx, contrary to what unnamed sources say....

Ohio State Freshmen having sex with couches?

Sounds quite plausible.

Maybe he was just a bad aim.

The media needs to be completely dismantled. They are a force of extreme evil in this country.

We shouldn’t even give this type of garbage any air time. Let it die for its absurdity.

A fact check reveals that Melissa Goldin is NOT a child molester.

Again, journalist Melissa Goldin, despite rumors to the contrary, is NOT a child molester.

Media is back to “normal” after they got rid of Joe Biden.

They put a great deal of effort and money into making up slanderous stories of Trump. I guess they decided the media would do it for them for next to nothing for Vance. Poor Vance. Just not worth the financial investment and the time to do a bang-up job on him. Wait till he’s VP and gets a bit of his own back.

I disagree. Vile individuals like this need to be exposed. It also helps to counter the marketing label of “fact check” to media misinformation effoets, when the “fact checkers” are shown to be manufacturing falsehoods.

I assume JD was in a fraternity.
I assume that the initiation rites included having sex with a couch.
Ergo - JD had sex with a couch!

Probably a small couch. “Oh - so THAT’s why they call it a love seat!”

Mark Judge, a high school friend of Brett Kavanaugh, whom Christine Blasey Ford accused of raping her along with Kavanaugh said to look out for “opposition research” of a salacious nature aimed at J.D. Vance coming from the Harris campaign, all of totally false. Judge explains that Senator Feinstein told Ford that they would not be using her testimony because it was uncorroborated, and politely thanked her for her efforts, but she would be well advised to keep her story to herself. It was Feinstein’s way of telling her she thought she was full of shit, and did not want to embarrass herself trying to retail that story.

That did not stop Kamala Harris, who encouraged and egged on Ford to publicize her story and who lobbied to have her testify. Harris is the one who brought Ford’s story to pubic attention. She is one nasty piece of work, with no ethics and no discretion.

I have seen this accusation being dutifully shared on social media the past couple of days. I’ll bet that almost no one who shares this has read the book, which means the people who lap this up will believe anything they are told. I have seen some other controversies regarding the book, so I am reading the book, and I can be my own fact checker.

An example of apophasis: “Let’s not repeat that baseless rumor about Melissa Goldin’s arrest for child rape.”

Let’s not repeat the baseless rumor about Kamala Harris and Willie Brown.

Oh, wait.

That one’s not baseless.

The current VP had sex with disgusting old windbags for political gain but that doesn’t seem to be a problem
