If you were wondering whether or not desperation is setting in among the Trump-Vance 2024 campaign, the answer arrived in disgusting and downright weird fashion from none other than Donald Trump Jr.
Hoping to thwart the endless array of jibes and memes circulating on social media about Sen. J.D. Vance allegedly having sex with a couch (he didn’t), Don Jr. decided to counter with a lie about Democratic running mate Gov. Tim Walz, HuffPost reports.
Well, ever since Walz mocked Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance with a reference to a satirical-but-false internet meme that claimed the “Hillbilly Elegy” author wrote about having sex with a sofa, Trump toadies have been trying to get even.
For some reason, somebody decided to combat the false couch sex claims by claiming that Walz enjoys drinking horse semen.
Weird, right?
Here’s what Junior posted on Twitter:
Not funny and not the least bit effective, as a person on the Reddit channel “Ask A Liberal” explained:
“Well, if that’s your strategy, you can go ahead and make up gross stories about Tim Walz. But I wouldn’t expect it to work out in quite the same way. Everyone seems to hate JD Vance, while everyone seems to really like Tim Walz.”
“Mean-spirited jokes tend to be easier to (aheh) swallow when the butt of those jokes is considered an ‘acceptable target.'”
Twitter users also let Don Jr. know that his “joke” reeked of childishness and desperation.
