Original Note:
Although many of the previous notes have stated there was no mention of "sex with a couch" the allusion to "getting off the couch" was likely in reference to the rumor that has been trending online. See : https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/tim-walz-joke-about-jd-vance-couch-sex-13802009.html https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jd-vance-couch-cushions/ https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/jd-vance-couch-sex-rumor-explained-1235068142/ https://www.vox.com/culture/363230/jd-vance-couch-sex-hillbilly-elegy-rumor-false Therefore the initial note did add pertinent context.
