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.
