and they tell a truth about the character of an actor if not the literal truth of an action.

What does that mean? What does the "alternative fact" of JD Vance fucking a sofa tell us about his character, given that it is literally not true?

We only know that it's literally not true that he described such an event in "Hillbilly Elegy". The fact that we don't immediately conclude that it definitely didn't happen reminds us that he's the kind of odious frat bro who would probably do that and talk about about it to his bros.

But it ends up being circular. Most of us knew nothing about him before that anecdote so the reason that we think "he's the kind of odious frat bro who would probably do that and talk about about it to his bros" is the existence of the anecdote itself.
