A story going around claims Vice President JD Vance made a post on X to mourn the loss of an $8,000 couch in the Texas floods.
That is false.
According to Snopes, a post that appeared to be linked to Vance featured an image of a flooded apartment and a statement saying, “Of all the devastating images coming out of Texas, this is the one that gutted me. That is an $8,000 sectional imported from Italy."
That post was shared on many platforms. It turns out the message is fake, and there's no evidence Vance ever made such a post.
The image is apparently a stock photo on Adobe's database.
