JD Vance Skewers Media, Doubles Down Denouncing Germany's Anti-Free Speech Actions

As we reported, Vice President JD Vance called out Germany and others in Europe for their anti-free speech actions including arresting people for speech "crimes."

JD Vance went to the Munich Security Conference and roasted the entire continent of Europe for being petty tyrants and criminalizing freedom of speech, including a British man arrested for praying at an abortion clinic.

It's a concerning thing that you have those kinds of actions, and he was right to call them out. If we are supposed to be standing with them because of "common values," those aren't common values and they need to understand that.

MUST-SEE: JD Vance Triggers Munich Security Conference, Rips European Hypocrites to Their Faces

Some of the Europeans threw a fit that he dared to scold them, and we got a bizarre take from CBS' "Face the Nation's" Margaret Brennan trying to criticize him over daring to defend free speech, suggesting that somehow free speech led to the Holocaust because it was "weaponized" by the Nazis.

Vance called that what it is — crazy.

This is a crazy exchange.

Does the media really think the holocaust was caused by free speech? https://t.co/EBUKx75Wfm

The Nazis had no free speech. They locked up and killed many people who bravely spoke out against their evil actions. How does someone with that kind of a position in media not fully understand that?

"60 Minutes" also ran a story that proved Vance's point and Vance wasn't hesitant about pointing that out.

Insulting someone is not a crime, and criminalizing speech is going to put real strain on European-US relationships.

This is Orwellian, and everyone in Europe and the US must reject this lunacy. https://t.co/WZSifyDWMr

Elon Musk weighed in with support.

Absolutely!

Throwing people in prison for memes or because they insulted a politician in Germany is madness.

This is the position that the media and the left are criticizing?

This is basic Constitution 101; it's part of what makes us American, that we have this understanding. It's something that a free society should believe in. Yet, again, it's astounding that you see media and people on the left lining up on the wrong side of this. The media should be the first to speak out against censorship. It's not just Europe that we have to be worried about; this reveals how twisted some here on the left and in the media on this issue.

European Officials Lose It Over JD Vance's Munich Speech, Walk Right Into a Brick Wall

This is an incredibly slippery slope that Vance is rightly standing against.
