JD Vance has expressed his frustration over the viral “6-7” meme, particularly after witnessing its impact on his children. In a recent post on X, Vance revealed that his five-year-old son became overly excited during a church service when the Bible readings referenced pages 66-67. This led him to humorously suggest that there should be a ban on the numbers altogether.
Vance’s Reaction to the Meme
During the church service, JD Vance noted, “Yesterday at church, the Bible readings started on page 66-67, and my 5-year-old went absolutely nuts repeating ‘six seven’ like 10 times.” This amusing incident prompted Vance to consider an exception to the First Amendment regarding what he termed “these numbers.”
Origin of the ‘6-7’ Meme
The “6-7” meme originates from a 2025 viral internet trend that lacks a specific meaning. Its popularity surged due to its randomness and humor. The phrase was inspired by a line from the song “Doot Doot (6 7)” by rapper Skrilla, and it quickly became trendy on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
- It features videos of basketball star LaMelo Ball, who is 6 feet 7 inches tall.
- A viral clip of a child shouting “six-seven” contributed to the meme’s widespread appeal.
- The gesture accompanying the shout adds to its comedic effect.
