On the heels of a viral rumor about having sex with a couch, JD Vance found himself at the center of another weird controversy involving dolphins.

A year ago, on February 17, 2024, Vance’s screenshot of a tweet from the account @crazyclipsonly went viral.

The screenshot shows a woman sitting on a dock with two dolphins in the water. The caption reads “woman gets violated by a dolphin and enjoys it.” Vance quoted the post writing, “maybe the internet was a mistake.”

JD Vance’s seemingly innocent tweet about dolphins took off online as several users noted that the words “woman” and “dolphin” were highlighted which suggests that Vance likely searched for those term on X.

“I dread to think what the rest of your search history looks like dude,” one user commented.

“Why are you searching for dolphin porn?” asked another.

A year later, Vance is serving as the vice president of the United States and the tweet outing himself as a dolphin porn aficionado remains publicly available.
