30 HILARIOUS reactions to JD Vance allegedly in drag as #SofaLoren trends & we CACKLE

Now, according to The Daily Beast, who claims the Vance camp has neither confirmed nor denied the allegations, the original photo came from Vance’s former classmate Travis Whitfill, who told Bernstein it was taken by a fellow Yale classmate in 2012.

Then a second drag photo hit Bernstein's inbox...

That said, Whitfill also admitted to The Daily Beast that he believed it “was grabbed from Facebook and was taken at a Halloween party.”

Whatever’s going on here, it at least explains some of the origin story around Vance’s use of eyeliner, which has already been dragged (no pun intended) online due to his opposing stance on anything regarding the LGBTQ+ communities.

Though the image remains unconfirmed, it started trending under the hashtag #SofaLoren as a shoutout to the Italian actress Sophia Loren blended with the (allegedly) false claims that the Republican senator had sex with a couch.

Regardless of whatever is going on here, not only does this speak to the continued hypocrisy from the Republican side, but it also proves that they secretly love the queer community more than they let on.
