Vice President JD Vance casually flipped the bird during his remarks at a Republican dinner in his home state of Ohio on Tuesday, jabbing at “pink-haired” protesters and adding with a smile, “I think it means we’re number one.”

Vance spoke at the sold-out event in Lima, and he spent the majority of his time laying out the “Trump Doctrine” and detailing the recent strikes on Iranian nuclear targets — but he did take a little time for levity.

“In Washington, D.C., they have this thing where — I think it means we’re number one in Washington, D.C. — all the pink-haired people throw up this sign,” Vance then raised his middle finger to laughs from the audience. “And I think, you know, that means we’re number one, right? That’s — I choose to take that as that symbol in Washington … all kidding aside.”

Vance spent the rest of the time talking about the Trump administration’s military action against Iran’s nuclear program — which he described as a perfect example of the “Trump Doctrine” on foreign policy.

“What I call the Trump Doctrine is quite simple: Number one, you articulate a clear American interest and that’s, in this case, that Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon. Number two, you try to aggressively diplomatically solve that problem,” Vance said, referencing the Trump administration’s efforts to bring Iran to the table before taking action. “And number three, when you can’t solve it diplomatically, you use overwhelming military power to solve it and then you get the hell out of there before it ever becomes a protracted conflict.”

WASHINGTON—Congressman Brandon Gill will introduce legislation Wednesday barring abortionists from dumping aborted baby remains into publicly owned water systems, The Daily Wire can first report.

The Texas Republican’s legislation deals with a morbid and often under-discussed topic: the disposal of aborted fetal remains. While some states have laws requiring that aborted baby remains be cremated or buried, a number of states do not, allowing abortionists to dispose of aborted baby remains by flushing the bodies down the garbage disposal, ultimately casting their remains into public sewage.

Gill described the bill, the Respectful Treatment of Unborn Remains Act, as part of the “greater fight to protect all life from the evil of abortion” and restore “some dignity after death.”

“Every life is precious and has value, from the moment of conception until natural death,” Gill told The Daily Wire. “Not only does abortion rob an unborn baby of their life, but abortionists further rob them of a dignified burial by carelessly discarding their fetal remains into public water systems — a disgusting and abhorrent practice.”

“This careless discard of human body parts signifies the depraved disregard for the sanctity of life at abortion clinics,” he added. “Beyond the moral outrage, introducing fetal remains into public water systems also poses a serious public health concern, potentially contaminating water sources.”

During testimonies from abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s murder trials, investigators revealed that the abortionist would shove baby remains down his garbage disposal and his toilets, clogging both to the point where pipes would burst, and, in one case, a baby’s arm allegedly “popped out” on the street as maintenance workers plunged the system.

Employees at the clinic said during the trials that the abortion clinic toilet had to be removed from the floor to “get the fetuses out of the pipes,” The Daily Mail reported.

“They were shoving body parts down the garbage disposal,” said Philadelphia Police crime scene investigator John Taggart, according to The Daily Mail. “To the point where they plunged it one day and an arm popped out on Lancaster Avenue.”

Gosnell, who was netting about $1.8 million a year from his gruesome practices, has been in prison since 2011.

Gill’s bill would prohibit abortionists from disposing fetal remains into publicly owned water systems, including drains and pipes controlled by the federal, state, or local government entities, making violators subject to a fine and up to five years in prison.

Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) introduced similar legislation while he served in the House, and will introduce the Senate companion to Gill’s bill this year as well.
