The Full JD Vance Couch Saga Explained

After Donald Trump announced J.D. Vance as his Vice Presidential pick during the Republican National Convention, a bizarre and baseless rumor involving a couch quickly stole the spotlight, even outshining an assassination attempt on Trump. The rumor originated from a viral tweet that falsely claimed Vance admitted to a scandalous act in his book 'Hillbilly Elegy'. Despite the Associated Press debunking the claim, the rumor spread rapidly online, generating widespread memes and reactions. The AP later retracted its fact-check article, acknowledging that it bypassed their standard editing process.
