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.

Many commenters online connected Vanceās alleged history of cross-dressing with his legislative historyāwhich has long been a point ofĀ concernĀ for LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.
The Ohio senator introduced the āProtect Childrenās 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 ādonāt say gayā legislationĀ āgroomers.ā
But hypocrisy is the point. No oneās mocking him just for wearing drag, just like no one criticizes gop voters solely for getting abortions. The criticism stems from the hypocrisy, not the act itself.
