BREAKING NEWSJD Vance sex slur is deleted by AP after wire agency decided to ‘fact-check’ lurid claim about GOP VP pick’s sexual preferences

The Associated Press has deleted an article where they fact-checked a wild claim about Donald Trump‘s VP choice JD Vance.

The wire agency sparked backlash after it published a piece on the Ohio senator Wednesday that was titled, ‘No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch.’ 

However, by the next day, the AP had removed the article from its archives, with the page address showing it is now unavailable.

A spokesperson for the AP told DailyMail.com on Thursday that the fact-check on Vance did not go through the standard editing process.

The agency said it’s looking into how it was published.

The now-deleted article came after memes began circulating on social media  repeating a false rumor that claimed Vance wrote about having sex with a couch on his best-selling book Hillbilly Elegy.

High-profile names such as comedienne Kathy Griffin appeared to fall for the fake news, writing: ‘I don’t think we should have a couchf***er as our vice president. That’s just me. Sorry JD.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to the Associated Press for comment on this story. 

The false information reportedly began circulating on X after the now-private account @rickrudescalves wrote: ‘Can’t say for sure but he might be the first VP pick to have admitted in a NY Times bestseller to f***ing an inside-out latex glove shoved between two couch cushions.’

The X account then provided a fake reference for the unfounded claim.
