The Associated Press, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads misinformation and conspiracy theories, published a “fact check” article in the apparent hope of spreading absurd smears against Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance.
Wednesday Headlines read“No, J.D. Vance is not having sex with the couch.”
The claim: Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance wrote about having sex with Soffer in his 2016 memoir.
AP’s rating: False. Vance did not write about such conduct in his best-selling book. The searchable PDF of the memoir features the words “couch” or “sofa” 10 times, but none of the words relate to the salacious tale. Some social media users have argued that the story appears on pages 179-181, where Vance writes about his first days as a freshman at Ohio State University.
AP is so bad…
Because this fact check was not based on false claims made by prominent Democrats or media figures, there was no legitimate reason for the AP to run a high-profile, high-profile AP fact check on a false rumor. But the AP wants to spread this false rumor. They want to spread it. The AP understands that not everyone will read a fact check, and once a rumor spreads, there.
This indefensible fact check was nothing more than a facade to use the AP’s power to fuel a humiliating lie. See, there was actually nothing to debunk, but the AP used some xweets written by a few anonymous people to justify shining a spotlight on the lie.
The first xweet wrote, “Can someone please explain why JD Vance, who writes about having sex on a couch and has only been a senator for two years, thinks he has the right to criticize Kamala Harris’ qualifications.”
The second one basically says the same thing:
J.D. Vance, whose terrifying novel “Hillbilly Elegy” describes having sex with a rubber glove sandwiched between sofa cushions, thought Republicans were on the verge of becoming president, and voters in North Carolina, the heartland of the US furniture industry, should be particularly horrified.
Who is going to fact check based on a few xweets written by some unknown person?
This is ridiculous and highly partisan. The AP is using fact-checking to spread a false rumor across the country.
The Associated Press concludes:[A]Nowhere in his memoir does Vance mention having sex on the couch.”
The whole thing is ridiculous and done on purpose…
“The word ‘couch’ appears 10 times in the searchable PDF of ‘Hillbilly Elegy,’ but it doesn’t refer to the stories being told on social media. Instead, these passages explain the couch’s general use for sitting and sleeping,” the fact check said.
An Associated Press reporter reviewed pages 179 to 181 of the print edition of “Hillbilly Elegy” (first published in 2016) and found that the book chronicles Vance’s first days as a freshman at Ohio State University in 2007. Among the topics he covers are arriving on campus for orientation, his distance from home, the “brain drain” phenomenon, filling out scholarship applications and hoping to attend law school.
You may be thinking, “Oh, no! Hey, what’s the problem? The Associated Press reported that the claim is false.
Wake up. Indeed, AP Withdrawn Fact checking isn’t important, but that’s what the Associated Press is telling the left-wing late-night TV crowd. Saturday Night Live 100 Days’ Worth of Jokes. The Associated Press knows this could stick to Vance just as the lie that stuck was when former Gov. Sarah Palin claimed she could see Russia from her home.

No matter how much you hate the media, it’s not enough.
