On Friday, Vice President JD Vance gave a historic defense of free speech at the Munich Security Conference. In front of a clearly hostile assemblage of European diplomats, Vance confronted our allies with their systemic censorship as they demanded more support to “defend democracy.”
For the free speech community, it was akin to Ronald Reagan’s call: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
Vance questioned how our allies could claim to be the bastions of freedom while denying free expression to their citizens.
He then delivered this haymaker: “If you are running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you. Nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people that elected me and elected President Trump.”
Not surprisingly, the Europeans sat on their hands while glaring at Vance for calling them out for their hypocrisy. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius declared Vance’s remarks were “not acceptable.” An unnamed German official in attendance declared, “This is all so insane and worrying.”
The outrage of the Europeans was only surpassed by our own anti-free speech voices in government, the media and academia.

For the rest of us, we will stand with free speech.
Can anyone picture Cackling Kamala delivering such a powerful speech in front of a (presumably) sophisticated, international audience?
I cannot. It’s pretty funny to imagine, though. 🤪
“Free speech is, you know, free. And it’s speech. And we have free speech in America and you don’t have free speech in The EU of Europe and like Germany. And it’s not free. So stop charging for speech and make it free!”
The Left said the quote part out loud when Biden was President now they are screaming it:
“WE ARE IN CHARGE, YOU OBEY!! YOUR FREE SPEECH NEEDS TO END BECAUSE IT IS INHIBITING YOUR OBEDIENCE!!!”
Some obviously have made the decision to stand with Europe.
Europe, as a continent full of people is not the same as the current globalist movement.
