An image of JD Vance allegedly dressed as a woman and wearing a blonde wig was posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday. The unconfirmed image quickly picked up steam and began trending under the hashtag #SofaLoren, a reference to the iconic Italian actress Sophia Loren and false claims that the Republican senator had sex with a couch.

ā€¦

Many commenters online connected Vanceā€™s alleged history of cross-dressing with his legislative historyā€”which has long been a point ofĀ concernĀ for LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.

The Ohio senator introduced the ā€œProtect Childrenā€™s Innocence Act,ā€ whichĀ aims to criminalizeĀ medical institutions that provide gender-affirming care to minors.

The Republican vice presidential pick also supports measures to limit classroom discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity, and labeled critics of so-called ā€œdonā€™t say gayā€ legislationĀ ā€œgroomers.ā€

    It was a question, trying to understand what the hell youā€™re trying to say. Donā€™t really think itā€™s fair to call that ā€œwildly mischaracterizedā€ but you do you.

    Happy to move on. You should really work on communicating your thoughts though. Youā€™re not making any sense and wasting a bunch of peopleā€™s time who are trying to engage with you in good faith, and then getting combative when itā€™s pointed out. We canā€™t see eye to eye while youā€™re facing the other direction.
