🇺🇸🇩🇪 SCHOLZ CLUTCHES PEARLS OVER VP VANCE’S MUNICH SPEECH

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is deeply offended by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance’s remarks, insisting Germany’s “firewall” against the far-right must hold.

“I explicitly reject what U.S. Vice President Vance said at the Munich Security Conference.

From the experiences of National Socialism, the democratic parties in Germany have formed a common consensus: This is the firewall against far-right parties.”

He’s referring to the Cordon Sanitaire, a long-standing European practice where mainstream parties refuse to work with right-wing populists—no matter how many votes they get.

But with parties like AfD surging in Germany, how long can Scholz keep pretending voters don’t exist?

🚨🇺🇸VANCE: EUROPE’S LEADERS ARE TO BLAME FOR THE MASS MIGRATION CRISIS

“Today, almost one in 5 people living in this country (Germany) moved here from abroad. That is, of course, an all time high. It’s a similar number, by the way, in The United States, also an all time high.

The number of immigrants who entered the EU from non-EU countries doubled between 2021 and 2022 alone, and, of course, it’s gotten much higher since.

And we know this situation didn’t materialize in a vacuum. It’s a result of a series of conscious decisions made by politicians all over the continent and others across the world over the span of a decade.”

🚨🇺🇸VANCE TO EUROPE: YOU CAN’T WIN MANDATES BY SILENCING YOUR OWN PEOPLE

“There is so much value that can be accomplished with the kind of democratic mandate that I think will come from being more responsive to the voices of your citizens.

If you’re going to enjoy competitive economies, if you’re going to enjoy affordable energy and secure supply chains, then you need mandates to govern because you have to make difficult choices to enjoy all of these things.”

🚨🇺🇸VANCE TO EUROPE: IF YOU FEAR YOUR OWN VOTERS, AMERICA CAN’T HELP YOU

“What is the positive vision that animates the shared security compact that we all believe is so important? And I believe deeply that there is no security if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions, and the conscience that guide your very own people.

Europe faces many challenges, but the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together, is one of our own making. If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you.”

🚨🇺🇸VANCE: EUROPE MUST STEP UP—U.S. CAN’T SHOULDER THE BURDEN ALONE

“We don’t think you hear this term burden sharing, but we think it’s an important part of being in a shared alliance together that the Europeans step up while America focuses on areas of the world that are in great danger.”

🚨🇺🇸VANCE: UNDER TRUMP, FREE SPEECH WILL BE PROTECTED—EVEN IF WE DISAGREE WITH YOU

“Just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and I hope that we can work together on that.”

🚨🇺🇸VANCE: UK FINES VETERANS FOR PRAYING NEAR ABORTION CLINICS

“A little over 2 years ago, the British government charged Adam Smith Connor, a 51-year old physiotherapist and an army veteran, with the heinous crime of standing 50 meters from an abortion clinic and silently praying for 3 minutes. Not obstructing anyone, not interacting with anyone, just silently praying on his own.

Adam was found guilty of breaking the government’s new buffer zones law, which criminalizes silent prayer and other actions that could influence a person’s decision within 200 meters of an abortion facility.”

🚨🇺🇸VANCE TO EU: DID THE COLD WAR WINNERS FORGET WHAT THEY FOUGHT FOR?

“The Cold War positioned defenders of democracy against much more tyrannical forces on this continent.

And consider the side in that fight that censored dissidents, that closed churches, that canceled elections. Were they the good guys? Certainly not.

And thank God they lost the cold war. They lost because they neither valued nor respected all of the extraordinary blessings of liberty.

Unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it’s sometimes not so clear what happened to some of the Cold War’s winners.”

🚨🇺🇸VANCE: EUROPEAN COURTS CANCELING ELECTIONS? THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY

“For years, we’ve been told that everything we fund and support is in the name of our shared democratic values. Everything from our Ukraine policy to digital censorship is billed as a democracy.

But when we see European courts canceling elections and senior officials threatening to cancel others, we ought to ask whether we’re holding ourselves to an appropriately high standard.”

🚨🇺🇸VANCE: EUROPE’S BIGGEST THREAT IS FROM WITHIN, NOT RUSSIA OR CHINA

“I was struck that a former European commissioner went on television recently and sounded delighted that the Romanian government had just annulled an entire election.

He warned that if things don’t go to plan, the very same thing could happen in Germany too.

When we see European courts canceling elections and senior officials threatening to cancel others, we ought to ask whether we’re holding ourselves to an appropriately high standard.”

🚨🇪🇺EU COMMISSION PRESIDENT SLAMS TRUMP’S EU TARIFFS: TRADE WARS MAKE NO SENSE

“Tariffs act like attacks. They drive inflation. The hardest hit are inevitably workers, companies, the small income, the middle classes on both sides of the Atlantic.”
