The message "JD Vance F--ks Couches" was accidentally aired live on MSNBC Thursday, when a Democratic National Convention (DNC) attendee held up the message behind a reporter.
It happened during live DNC coverage on Katy Tur Reports. An unknown conventiongoer stood behind Jake Sherman with the message written out on his phone.
Multiple people on Twitter and Reddit were quick to notice.

Commenters praised it, calling the unknown messenger a "hero."
One Redditor, u/StandStillLaddie wrote: "I want that kid to be my new best friend."
The moment refers to the viral debunked rumor, claiming the "Hillbilly Elegy" author enjoys having sex with couches. Google searches for "JD Vance, couch" skyrocketed and numerous memes and photos of couches and Vance continue to circulate online.
Democratic Presidential Nominee Tim Walz even got in on the joke recently.
Sherman ultimately responded to the incident too:
I hope this brings attention to what I was talking about with @KatyTurNBC: the battle for control of power in the House and Senate. That is our focus at @PunchbowlNews !!!!! https://t.co/s0XjGGRHhT
