JD Vance faces bizarre rumor about his face after being accused of having sex with bank: Can you tell what people are talking about?
Internet sleuths claim that Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee, JD Vance, is fond of eyeliner.
The author of Hillybilly Elegy is accused of applying a thin line of black makeup to make his eyes appear bluer.
Several photos have been shared online that provide irrefutable evidence that Vance is a fan of eyeliner, a technique mainly worn by women.
Photojournalist Zach Roberts claimed to have definitive proof, writing, “I honestly thought people were joking about this but then I photographed him last week. Vance is 100% wearing eyeliner.”

Roberts shared a close-up that he insisted showed the makeup line as proof.
And he praised Vance for his alleged makeup choice, which he said enhanced the 39-year-old’s tough look.
Roberts wrote: ‘I honestly thought people were joking about this but then I took a picture of him last week. Vance is 100% wearing eyeliner.’
According to The independentA TikToker claimed he found Vance’s exact eyeliner color.
But her claim that the GOP lawmaker is wearing sunglasses that Urban Decay calls “desperation” suggests she was joking.
Jimmy Fallon joked on his show about rumors that Vance wears makeup. The lawmaker was accused of hypocrisy for wearing eyeliner while taking a hard stance on transgender issues.
Vance has not yet responded to the makeup claims, but if they are true, he’s in good company within the Republican Party.

His running mate Donald Trump, 78, is so well-known for his mahogany fake tan and dramatic blond hair that the former president’s look has become iconic.
The eyeliner drama isn’t the first bizarre rumor to hit Vance.
Last week, he was accused of having sex with a couch after online jokers claimed that in his book Hillbilly Elegy he had described in detail how he tried to have sex with a latex glove stuck between two couch cushions.
The rumor is false, but it still has the Internet in a frenzy.
Vance faced further controversy over his 2021 statements claiming that the United States is run by a “group of childless cat ladies who are unhappy with their own lives and the choices they’ve made, and who want to make the rest of the country unhappy as well.”
Kamala Harris, the likely Democratic presidential nominee and herself childless, is among those who criticized Vance for the comments.
Fans of Trump and Vance’s MAGA ticket have dismissed the rumors and drama as online nonsense that will have little consequence for the vast majority of voters.
