Republican Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), a staunch ally of former president Donald Trump, was the subject of ridicule this weekend after attempting to post a funny photo on social media.
Vance recently caught some flak from former Gov. Marc Racicot (R-MT), a conservative and a signatory to an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the ballot, for his recent statement that he would have blocked certification of the 2020 presidential election if he were in the place of former Vice President Mike Pence.
Now, he's being mocked on his own social media post because of a picture that he shared of a dolphin attempting to mate with a woman.

"Maybe the internet was a mistake," Vance posted Saturday with the picture, which was captioned with: "Woman gets violated by a dolphin and enjoys it."
I'm sure Vance expected it to just be a funny joke. The problem, according to the commenters, is that the words "woman" and "dolphin" were highlighted in the image, showing that whoever took the screenshot searched for those exact terms.
"Damn you, Internet, for showing people things they search for," former journalist Morten Øverbye wrote in response.
"Why you searching for dolphin porn, my guy?" asked user Matt Ortega.
Charlotte Clymer said, "The bolded words indicate the terms you searched to find this."
User Aaron Meyers echoed those sentiments: "Nuclear level self own posting that with your search terms highlighted."
Freelance writer Charlie Cy also chimed in: "Maybe electing a Senator spending his time Meme-Mill-Generating for clicks was a mistake?"
Conservative anti-Trump activist Rick Wilson also had this to say about Vance's post:
"Well, I did not have 'J.D. Vance searches for dolphin porn' on my Saturday night bingo card, but here we are. Rule 34 never fails," he wrote.
