J.D. Vance’s Accidental ‘Couch’ Reference During Campaign Speech Gets Him Dragged On Social Media

The issue of couches came up once again for Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), who was named Donald Trump’s running mate last month and has repeatedly stuck his foot in his mouth every time he speaks.

You may recall that in his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, Vance admitted he had once masturbated using a glove he placed between two cushions on a sofa in his house, which has led to endless jokes and memes.

And now Vance is owning himself with remarks he made on the campaign trail in Reno, Nevada, HuffPost reports.

The embarrassment happened when Vance was praising his wife, Usha.

“Now, I would call her up here to come and speak,” he told the crowd.

“But then I think I’d have to sleep on the couch tonight, so I’ll leave her alone.”

Some in the audience “tittered” when Vance used the word, reporter David Moye notes.

But the biggest laughs were to be found on Twitter, where thousands of users mocked Trump’s VP choice.
