The Trump-Vance campaign team has failed to deny that a viral photograph that appears to show Donald Trump’s Republican running mate, JD Vance dressed as a woman and wearing a blonde wig and thick black eye-liner is indeed of him.
The photograph, which was posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday, quickly spread across the internet and began trending under the hashtag #SofaLoren, a reference to the iconic Italian actress Sophia Loren and made-up claims that the Republican senator had sex with a couch.
The Daily Beast reported that a spokesperson for the Republican vice presidential pick did not deny the photo’s authenticity when approached by the news outlet, and did not offer any further comment.
The source who surfaced the alleged photo, Travis Whitfill, claims the picture was taken by a fellow Yale classmate in 2012, when Vance was attending law school at the university.
