Meme War Escalates with Bizarre Horse Semen Rumor

In an unexpected turn of internet meme war, J.D. Vance’s supporters got back at minnesota governor Tim Walz with a weird and baseless rumor. Walz had previously joked about Vance’s public persona in a speech before, referencing a meme about Vance being lazy. In response, a claim that he was hospitalized for reasons that involve a large amount of horse semen had emerged and spread throughout MAGA supporters. This baseless rumor originated from an anti-Joe Biden subreddit, along with a fake news screenshot to add to the legitimacy of the claim.

Google search information on the topic indicates that the claim was shared on a few different alternative right news sources, as well as social media such as Gab, Twitter, and Reddit. The shared screenshot indicates that these sources mostly feature right-leaning reports and articles. This interaction and the baseless claim are the examples of a modern exchange of memes, which are utilized as a tool of political discourse on social media. Considering the amount of available information that can be verified, people still share fake news about political figures.
