[WATCH/COMMENTARY] Stephen Colbert Completely Couches JD Vance

Donald Trump made another yuge political mistake by choosing one of his former critics as his running mate, and now the late-night talk show hosts are having a field day.

JD "Hillbilly Effigy" Vance, who once compared Trump to Hitler, is so cravenly ambitious that he scrubbed all of his negative tweets about Trump from 2016. But the screenshots survived to plague him even before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris. 

And one rumor has led to the kind of dragging that could end his political career.

The is-it-true-or-isn't-it factor surrounds the story that a super horny and young JD Vance slipped on a plastic glove and had intimate relations with a couch. Technically, the story claims he self-pleasured himself between two couch cushions.

And that's the least disgusting way I can explain it.

The Associated Press attempted to fact-check the story, but then their fact-checking disappeared from the internet. An excerpt being circulated around social media full of foul language--where Vance claims ALL OF HIS FRIENDS were also similarly abusing their sofas--has received the Community Note treatment from triggered Trumpers.

Apologies if this offends anyone, but it's my (not-so-) solemn duty to report on it.

While Snopes has deemed the story--and that meme--as FALSE, it's taken on an internet life of its own. It's the kind of thing that sticks to someone even if it isn't true. 

Because in the case of J DIVANce (nickname: MINE, along with "Hillbilly Effigy" and I'm not giving up on making that a thing), people want it to be true, because he's historically unpopular and so unlikeable that Trumpers are demanding he be replaced.

And it's too late for that, sorry/not sorry!

Stephen Colbert nailed Vance on his Thursday night broadcast, asking why Trump would make such a bad decision, as if his entire life wasn't just a series of terrible choices.

 “He doesn’t soften Trump’s far-right stuff at all. He’s kinda Handmaid’s Tale curious, which will not appeal to suburban women, and he’s terrible on the stump," Colbert said of Vance. "So a lot of people are asking, why the hell did Trump pick him in the first place?”
