(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Vice President Kamala Harris appeared to make fun of false allegations that Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, may have “had sex with a couch.”
On Saturday, the Harris campaign tweeted, “JD Vance does not couch his hatred for women,” seemingly poking fun at viral yet false assertions tying Vance to sexual acts.
Harris’s willingness to sex attacks comes as her allies sound the alarm about so-called sexist and misogynistic attacks lobbed at her. Those concerns went out of the window this weekend.
The couch claims stem from social media posts about a fake Vance anecdote in his autobiography, Hillbilly Elegy, about placing gloves between couch cushions and then inserting his penis within the gloves to simulate intercourse.
Such claims are verifiably false, but that did not stop the Harris campaign from using them to attack Vance.

Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross tweeted, “The Harris campaign will portray her as the adult in the room, but here they are pushing the thing that some left-wing rando made up about JD Vance.”
Others were supportive of the Harris campaign’s disturbing joke, with one user tweeting, “RIP ‘when they go low we go high’ 2016-2024,” and another adding, “When they go low, we go for the couch.”
This comes as the Harris campaign faces questions about her rise to power and her 1990s affair with Willie Brown, the then-married speaker of the California Assembly. Brown later became the mayor of San Francisco.
Brown has long been credited as the force that propelled Harris into politics by appointing her to powerful California commissions, then known as “patronage” positions.
Earlier this week, Fox Business contributor Alex Lace came under fire for referring to Harris as the “original Hawk Tuah girl,” a phrase used to describe oral sex.
Leftists argue that suggesting Harris owes her career to Brown is sexist and misogynistic. However, the Harris campaign’s willingness to joke about sex acts involving Vance appears hypocritical.
