Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who is Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, made fun of a crude sex joke about Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) at a gathering in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this week. The joke was based on a fake meme.
To cheers, Walz said, “I can’t wait to debate the guy.” “That is if he’s willing to get off his couch and show up,” he added.
The crowd laughed out loud.
He knew what the joke was about when he asked, “See what I did there?”
A meme says Vance had sex with a couch, based on a fake quote from his autobiography, Hillbilly Elegy. This is what the joke is about.
Many “progressives” who were looking for negative things to say about Vance shared and used the story.
The perpetrator of the initial scam told Business Insider that the widespread belief in his fake source “hasn’t increased his confidence in the voters’ critical thinking skills.”

When Walz started his campaign, he told a crude sexual joke based on intentionally false information. He said that he would bring Midwest dignity to the ticket.
