Turns out JD Vance isn’t a couch-fucker—at least, not a proven one.
The bizarre allegation began circulating last week after former president Donald Trump announced Vance as his 2024 running mate. According to fact-checking site Snopes, the rumor apparently originated from a July 15 post on X that cited Vance’s 2016 memoir Hillbilly Elegy.
"Can’t say for sure but [Vance] might be the first VP pick to have admitted in a [New York Times] bestseller to f***ing an inside-out latex glove shoved between two couch cushions (vance, hillbilly elegy, pp. 179-181).”
The post was shared by user @rickrudescalves, who has since gone private.

The Associated Press was among the outlets that published a fact-check on the viral claim, which has since been debunked; however, the AP removed its piece, titled “No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch,” on Thursday morning, less than 24 hours after it was published.
The outlet explained its decision in a statement to Semafor reporter Max Tani.
“A spokesperson for the AP tells me this story didn’t go through the wire service’s standard editing process, and the AP is looking into how it was published,” Tani wrote on X (f.k.a. Twitter). "The spokesperson also emphasizes that the piece did not go out on the wire to AP customers.”
While Vance’s memoir makes no mention of his alleged furniture romp, social media users are taking full advantage of the situation as it stands. Over the past day, Vance has become the subject of countless jokes and couch-fucking memes.
