JD Vance’s Finger-Flipping ‘Gag’ Has Critics Cringing So Hard

Vice President JD Vance speaks during the Ohio Republican Party dinner, Tuesday, June 24, 2025, in Lima, Ohio. Vice President JD Vance cranked the cringe dial up to eleven with his latest attempt at a joke at the Ohio Republican Party dinner in Lima, Ohio, on Tuesday.Vance, while delivering the event’s keynote speech, was talking about how it’s essential to take the rough with the smooth in politics when he said:“I know it’s not always easy to be a political candidate, trust me. In Washington, DC, they have this thing, I think it means, ‘We’re No.1 in Washington, DC.’”Vance flipped his middle finger and kept it in place as he continued:“But all the pink-haired people throw up this sign and I think, you that means, ‘We’re no.1,’ right?”He lowered his finger and then added: “I choose to take that as that symbol in Washington.”Vance: All the pink haired people throw up this sign *holds up middle finger* I think that means we’re number 1 right? pic.twitter.com/afo5vAHvQu— Acyn (@Acyn) June 25, 2025The line drew some laughter from the audience.But on social media, critics mocked the vice president’s so-called gag and joked about him trying to outdo President Donald Trump, who’d earlier dropped an F-bomb while ranting about Israel and Iran breaking a ceasefire.I guess when daddy drops the f bomb you gotta act like you’re really cool too…— Lib Dunk (@libdunkmedia) June 25, 2025I’m not sure I even understand the joke he was trying to make lol— Lyss💙💛Аліса 🇺🇸 (@lyssa_fella) June 25, 2025He should not try to be whatever he’s trying to be. It’s pathetic.— Chimes of Freedom (@throbbingvicar) June 25, 2025No JD it means you’re number two 💩— Thomas St James (@Thomasstjames3) June 25, 2025Negative charisma— Anon (@anon_aii) June 25, 2025Man, work that tight 5 at an open mic night.— Luka Lakers (@DCAZELY) June 25, 2025What’s wrong with these ppl— Malta.Cooks (@mlatapapi8) June 25, 2025So, today— the president said “fuck” in front of the press and the vice president gave the finger in front of a crowd.Remember when MAGA lost their damn minds because Joe Biden said “son of a bitch” one f’ng time?!? https://t.co/0aK1ZGzTeJ— Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) June 25, 2025Vance built his brand on fake populism and ended up crying about hair dye and hand gestures.
