    The AP was correct to pull the article. Nobody can definitively say “J.D. Vance did not have sex with a couch” just that “J.D. Vance did not write about having sex with a couch in his memoir, ‘Hillbilly Elegy’.”

      My mother read the book, and tells me that the couch fucking part is absolutely in there.

      She also said he’s a bad writer and his book is mostly fiction, so the couch fucking is probably as true as him being from Appalachia.
