Umm, what now?

So many people embraced the sh1tpost, however, that it took on a life of its own, with countless memes popping up on TikTok and X. “[W]e cannot let JD Vance near the oval office,” one person tweeted with a picture of the many sofas inside the room. Another juxtaposes Vance staring longingly with zoom-ins of leather couches while Barry White’s “Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up” plays. When the rumor had spread widely enough for the Associated Press to publish a lengthy explainer headlined “No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch,” someone else quoted it and referenced the infamous Bill Clinton denial, writing, “I did not have sectional relations.”

But as the article points out, "there’s no definitive proof he didn’t try to have sex with a couch."

Sounds like a question for the Veep debate.

LOL.

There are so many actual issues with Vance, there’s no need to clutter the message with fake stuff.
