So we haven't proven that JD Vance hasn't fucked a couch. All we hear is that it isn't in the book.Bullshit. Plenty of people think it's real and still do.
And it hasn't been disproven yet, all we hear is local politicians and police say they have no official reports of it.
But we haven't proven that it didn't happen.
The origins of the rumor are as bullshit as anything you'll ever read on the internet:
When Erika Lee wrote the Facebook post, it was just another summer day in Springfield, Ohio.
It was before the city got dragged into the presidential race, before former President Donald J. Trump stoked debunked rumors that Haitian immigrants were abducting and eating household pets, and before an ensuing wave of bomb threats upended life in the town of about 60,000.
Ms. Lee had heard that a neighbor’s cat had disappeared and that one of their Haitian neighbors might have taken the animal, so she posted the rumor on Facebook. But then she decided to go back to her neighbor.
“I asked her for proof,” Ms. Lee said.
It turned out the cat that had supposedly gone missing wasn’t the cat of a neighbor’s daughter, as Ms. Lee had posted. And if there were such a cat, it belonged to a friend of a friend of the neighbor’s daughter, Ms. Lee learned.
“And at that point, we are playing the game of telephone,” said Ms. Lee, who said she had no information herself about any abducted cats.
But you're going on saying "it hasn't been disproven yet" as though that's the standard that such bullshit internet rumors should be held to.
