WASHINGTON, DC: A second image, alleged to be of Senator JD Vance, dressed as a woman in a blonde wig has surfaced on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The image appears to show a man in drag, wearing the same wig and costume as in a previous image said to have been taken by a Yale classmate in 2012.

JD Vance's second photo was posted on same X that shared previous one

The latest photo of JD Vance shows the subject looking down at the camera with hands behind their neck. It was posted on the same account that shared the first picture.

The post simply reads: “A second photo has hit my inbox.”



 

Travis Whitfill, the source of the alleged photo, mentioned that the image was taken by a classmate at Yale and then sent it to him.

He later forwarded it to Matt Bernstein, the host of the 'A Bit Fruity*' podcast, who shared 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.

"I didn’t know him,” Whitfill said, adding “from all the sources I’ve heard, JD was actually a good guy in law school. Not sure what happened after though…”

The first image started trending on Sunday, August 11, under the hashtag of #sofaLoren, a reference to Italian movie legend Sofia Loren.

One comment that stood out read, "This sultry pose might embarrass me more than being vp for someone I called America's potential Hitler." Another observed, "He never took off the eyeliner."

"@JDVance should spend some time to find himself. Instead, he sold himself to the devil," said one. Another chimed in with, "Bro was being silly, y’all do it seriously get real."
