Vice President J.D. Vance is facing backlash after making a crude gesture during a GOP fundraiser in Ohio. While joking about political signs, Vance raised his middle finger, saying, “In Washington they do this,” before adding, “I’ll take it as a Number One.” The move, meant as humor, sparked swift criticism online for its lack of decorum.
Just hours earlier, President Trump made headlines during a Washington press briefing on the Israel-Iran ceasefire, criticizing Israel’s quick military response. “If you’re given a 12-hour window, you don’t launch a full-scale strike in the first hour,” he said, adding both sides had violated the peace deal.
