My sister went to see jd Vance speak at her college and there was going to be a meet and greet thing after the speech with cookies and juice. She ended up having to leave early and when she went to get a cookie she accidentally knocked the whole catering-sized box all over the floor. She tried to help the staff clean them up, but when she tried to throw them away they were like, "what are you doing? Those are still good?" and PUT THE FLOOR COOKIES BACK ON THE TABLE TO BE SERVED!
So I know for a fact that JD Vance has eaten floor cookies.
I know someone who went to highschool with him. We talked about it when we were talking about what a pile of horseshit his book is (I'm also from the area). Not surprised he is a floor cookie enjoyer.
Sorry let me put that in his book's terms: "I'm YALE not surprised YALE he is a (from the holler) floor cookie enjoyer YALE."
If you want a good book about the area, btw, I really recommend Dreamland by Sam Quinones.
