Second Photo Alleged to Show JD Vance in Drag Posted Online
A second image of JD Vance allegedly dressed as a woman in a blonde wig has been posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.
The post reads simply: “a second photo has hit my inbox.”
It appears to show a man in drag wearing the same wig and costume as in an earlier image said to have been snapped by a Yale classmate in 2012.
A spokesperson for Donald Trump’s running mate did not deny that the first photo posted on X was authentic when approached for comment by the Daily Beast.
The second photo shows the subject looking down at the camera with hands behind their neck. It was posted on the same account as the first picture.
Travis Whitfill, the source of the alleged photo, said it was taken by a classmate at Yale and sent to him. He, in turn, sent it to Matt Bernstein, the A Bit Fruity podcast host, who posted it online.
“It’s from a group chat of Vance’s fellow classmates and is from a friend of a friend. I believe it was grabbed from Facebook and was taken at a Halloween party,” Whitfill told the Daily Beast.
The new photo quickly got more than 500,000 views with one user posting: “So this is what it’s like for August to have two Christmases in it.”
“Say what you want about JD but nobody can deny that he’s fabulous!” wrote another.
It is the latest drama to involve the GOP vice presidential nominee, who was the subject of widespread comments online speculating that he wore mascara.
The first image started trending on Sunday under the hashtag of #sofaLoren, a reference to Italian movie legend Sofia Loren.

That's not a good shade for him.

I never thought twice about the eyeliner, whenever it was mentioned on here over the past year.
I thought JD's eyes were naturally that way, like Nestor Carbonell.
Now I'm starting to see that you all were really on to something.

He really seems to be into it, and not just wearing the clothes as a joke, or just for fun.
JD might actually be trans.

He's certainly misogynistic enough to be an autogynephile. It wouldn't surprise me.

Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. They’re done. I want to refer to them by their names anymore. They will be they to me.

In another thread, 'Roger Stone Uses An Anti-Gay Slur To Describe Tim Walz.' We await with interest how Stone might now describe his Master's hillbilly VP.

Every Republican man who hates gay and trans men so vitriolically is gay or trans, without exception.

You can almost hear him telling you that how stiff his puny cocklet is and he pre-lubed like a good, good boi.

I can't imagine why Trump is keeping him on as his VP pick.
Surely, this will turn off Republican voters, right?

R13 I think this actually will. They don’t play with that trans and cross dressing stuff. I don’t visit right wing sites. I wonder how it’s playing out.

As stupid as this sounds, putting on a wig and women's clothes is not doing "drag". Plenty of dudes do it as a joke - it's usually more misognyny than anything else.
However, can we just say "hoisted with his own petard" on this one?

Well there are a few things that maybe hint at it being something more.
1. He really seems into it, based on his facial expressions.
2. He had already questioned whether or not he might be gay, which I'm not equating drag with being gay, but it sounds like he was sexually confused, at the very least. Dressing as a woman was probably a manifestation of his confusion.
3. He later became insanely obsessed with the anti-trans movement, which as others have already pointed out, signals someone who is probably deeply closeted.

Oh god he is not trans. He is just a stupid ass right wing conservative that dressed in drag in college as a gag because mostly everyone in college even republicans are social liberals and don’t give a fuck about such things. It is really that simple. But it needs to be called out because of his ilk being so staunchly against these things in pop culture today.

The despair of being a modern/Millennial politician:
Your digital footprint is now campaign oppo research.
They told us several times in college to lock your accounts and keep the photos cute. I almost feel bad this happens to politicians who may be been even earlier to this concept, unaware of the future (present) consequences.
I really don't know how I feel about it.

I digitized many of my photos from college to post as "memories" with friends.
I'm glad I didn't think posting pix of drunken idiocy was a fun "memory" as much fun as it actually was.

Even my mother who was almost 60 when she got Internet in the early 00's knew this: treat everything you post online as if it were visible to everybody. I don't feel sorry for this asshole a bit.

R24. I hadn’t heard that Vance posted it. I also don’t have much sympathy for him in general, but it seems you can’t step outside your house (or have stepped outside your house ten years ago) without somebody posting it without your knowledge or permission.

I like good drag just like the next gay guy but this is not drag, this is tragic. It looks like something straight out of a Mexican prison, someone who's been designated the ward bottom whore.

Miss Vance has another unearthed photo, this time in the men's room standing next to three women at a urinal.
JD sure did hang around the boy's room quite a bit, didn't he?
