‘You better have video’: Jesse Watters demands proof of couch over JD Vance rumors

Fox News is facing ridicule online after host Jesse Watters demanded to see video of JD Vance making love to a couch.

In a segment on Monday evening, Watters claimed that the online joke involving Vance and living room furniture was orchestrated by the Democratic Party before asking for evidence of such an act.

“If you’re going to accuse someone of having sex with a couch, you better have video,” Watters said.

The joke, which was started organically by an X user on July 15, claims that Vance admitted to sticking his penis into “an inside-out latex glove shoved between two couch cushions” in his 2016 book, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis.

While the claim obviously isn’t real, the internet can’t seem to get enough, flooding social media with jokes and memes ever since. Watters’ insistence that the joke is part of a grand conspiracy—comparing it to Democratic “hoaxes” like Russiagate and COVID-19—is only helping to keep it alive.

Watters quickly found himself roped into the joke as well, with countless users joking that he too was likely sexually attracted to couches.

“Jesse Watters really wants to say fucking couches isn’t weird if it’s your couch,” another said. “Probably a fellow couch fucker. You can see it in his eyes.”
