Wait so the couch fucking thing was bullshit? It's just so... specific. Talk about an impressive shitpost.
I mean, we can't definitively say it didn't happen.
That is almost certainly why the AP fact check was taken down. While it was true that the alleged passage was not in the book as claimed, there is no proof that Vance did not fuck a piece of furniture.
We can only really say for sure that he didn't write about it in his book. But have we checked everything he ever wrote?
Has he ever specifically stated that he has not had sectional relations?
No, but he did state that his hardwood sofa is an inanimate object and thus consent is not something he'd have to worry about
It was always bs, but people on the Internet like spreading lies. I saw some politician go on MSNBC and she brought it up too. It's embarrassing if she believed it and spread it.
It's only proper: Faux had been hyping 'immigrant crime' and every Trump positive, Biden negative bullshit they can. Spreading bullshit & lies? Republican marching orders. Pogram against Democracy. Putin smiles.
It's about as true as the idea that Kamala isn't really black or that Biden is the head of a crime family.
Yeah. Some random dude tweeted it and it got passed around. The original tweet was deleted because they realized it was getting taken seriously.
Wait until you find the dolphin thing
The account posted the Arthur go in the Internet and tell lies meme like 10 minutes after, but the Internet had a meme, and the Internet wanted to keep that meme.
That's how culture jamming works. Talk about shot that don't matter just LEAVE NESTLÉ ALONE
Bullshit that he did not get consent from the couch.
How old was that couch anyway?
