Sorry, Jake Tapper, We're Gonna Keep Being 'Gross' About Couch-F*cker

CNN's Jake Tapper took issue with couch-gate, an internet jokey joke about J.D. Vance that's gained traction. It's a joke, Jake, so calm your tits. What's not a joke is Vance's attempt to swiftboat Gov. Tim Walz, who served 24 years in the Army National Guard.

What's not a joke is Vance's writing a forward to the Project 2025 leader's book and his disdain for women who haven't had children, calling them childless cat ladies.

Still, he persisted. He brought it up because Walz made a funny about it.

"So let me ask you a question because there's this," Tapper said before clutching his pearls. "I'm hesitant to even bring it up, but there's this gross online smear about J.D. Vance involving couches, okay?"

"And the only reason I cite it is because Governor Walz made a reference to it during his introduction speech yesterday," he continued. "A clear reference to this gross smear. So, I mean, whatever happened to Michelle Obama's when they go low, we go higher?"
