AP Retracts Fact-Check on JD Vance Couch Allegations After Bypassing Editing Process

Jul 25, 2024, 02:15 PM

The Associated Press (AP) has retracted a fact-check article regarding allegations against JD Vance, which claimed he engaged in inappropriate behavior with a couch. The article was removed after it was discovered that it bypassed the standard editing process. The retraction has led to speculation about the confidence in the original fact-check and why it was published without proper vetting. Some have humorously questioned if the removal was due to an 'inconvenient Pottery Barn truth,' while others have labeled the situation as 'sleazy.'
