You’ve likely seen them by now. Not one but two photos of VP wannabe JD Vance dressed in drag hit the internet over the last 48 hours and, let’s just say, they’re not very demure.
Podcaster Matt Bernstein shared the first one on Twitter X on Sunday, and this crusty look wouldn’t even be worthy of Drag Race‘s Golden Boot award. Honey, it’s a SCOOT!

Oh mama, that dry shake-n-go wig jumped straight from the Party City shelves and into our nightmares!
The photo was reportedly taken while Vance was attending Yale Law School. His former classmate,Travis Whitfill, told The Daily Beast it was taken at a Halloween party in 2012.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Then yesterday, a second photo emerged, which Bernstein also shared, and it’s not helping. (JD, we’re sorry, but you are up for elimination.)

Now, there’s nothing wrong with a man doing drag or dressing up in women’s clothing. Except when he’s a vocal opponent of LGBTQ+ rights who calls gay people “groomers,” supports “Don’t Say Gay” bills in schools, and wants to strip away healthcare from trans people.
Help us pick JD Vance's drag name
Of course, Vance’s camp hasn't responded to requests for comment about the photos—girl, if you can't love yourself in busted drag, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else? But still, every drag queen needs a proper stage name. We've compiled 10 here. Help us pick the best one.

Mr. Vance: “My views on public policy and what the optimal state should look like are pretty aligned with Catholic social teaching.”
No thank you. Get back on your couch creep.

Hetero Sectional and Vladmir Futon are still the best I’ve come across.

Call him SHADY PANTS. That implies all sorts of unsavory things.

The Italian grandmothers have the best couches, all covered with shiny, slippery, stain resistant plastic. Warm Leatherette.

Instead of JD Vance, I would say BD Vance:
Bad Drag Vance…

All names are funny but I prefer Jennifer Convertibles and Ashley Furniture. One of my own Russiana Whore.
