JD Vance made a good-natured joke about him and a couch — and considering all the (unfounded) rumors about him and furniture… you couldn’t write a better script.
The vice presidential candidate spoke in Nevada on Tuesday at a rally… and during his remarks, he mentioned his wife of a decade, Usha — which implies that she doesn’t like public speaking very much.
In fact, Vance says, if he asks her on stage, she’ll probably make him sleep on the couch… an offhand comment that got a few chuckles from the crowd, but had the internet laughing in droves.
In a normal election year, this comment would go completely unnoticed — but vice presidential candidates don’t usually get accused of getting intimate with living room furniture… and JD, unfortunately, did because of a troll who spread this false theory, which went viral.
ICYMI… a fake excerpt from Vance’s autobiography “Hillbilly Elegy” circulated later Donald Trump chose him as your running mate — with the excerpt telling how JD turned a latex glove inside out, placed it between the couch cushions and went all out.

Again, NOT an actual section in ‘HB Elegy’… but the internet has picked it up anyway and the memes are everywhere — much to the chagrin of therapist Dr. Laura Berman who says that this harms the members of naughty furniture community.

Of course, people could be reading too much into Vance’s joke… because jokes about women making men sleep on the couch have been around since the beginning of time (or the beginning of couches) — so it’s unclear whether JD was actually referencing their now-viral hookup.
Anyway… JD might want to avoid the couch altogether during the campaign — because he probably doesn’t want visitors to be afraid to sit in the Oval Office. 😅
