Conservatives seem to agree, VP Vance's speech in Munich was quite impressive. It was bold, direct, demanding and above all, a powerful call for freedom of speech. So, naturally, the left hates it.
I wrote speeches for one GOP politician after another who claimed to be pro-life, claimed to support free speech. This single story, told frankly and factually, is stronger than anything I ever snuck past the inevitably squishy staffers who would water down what I wrote. Baller. https://t.co/X19H0zRGoB

Librarian Scold, who you probably never heard of, Democratic Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, of PA, the first woman to represent her district no less, had some very harsh words for the Vice President.
I’m struggling for the words to describe my disappointment with Vice President Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference. I feel as though all of Europe and half of America deserve an apology.

VP Vance chided and derided Europe for the very things that our great nation is wrestling with. He maligned the continent’s leaders and voters when our own house is not in order.

According to him, Europe is “retreating” away from free speech and is making wrong choices about who should be “part of a free society.” He maligned them for not leading with the right values and for persecuting those who disagree with them. He also spent time scoffing at the idea that Romania’s election was possibly compromised, with not a whiff of a mention of the violence of January 6 or the attempt to annul our own election of 2020. And, not a word about Ukraine or Russia.
The hypocrisy is just more than I can take.
I’m sorry. This does not reflect who we are and how much we value the European Continent.
She isn't mad, she's just very disappointed.
He was correct in everything he said. Why are you defending unelected authoritarian bureaucrats who hate free speech? Unless…

You sure type a lot of words for someone who’s struggling to find them.

Maybe you should’ve just not tweeted this?
FYI: Europe is not “retreating” from free speech… It is sprinting towards full totalitarianism.
You do know that they’re locking people up for social media posts…

Sure doesn’t seem like you’re “struggling for the words” at all. What a shock. https://t.co/isT5mWvJy4

Give her a minute to compose herself! She is overwhelmed by the weight of her sadness.
So you are against free speech and want to cater to those whose oppose our values??

A curious position to take, but for months now the Democrats have been comfortable supporting the policies favored by the minority of America. https://t.co/y6gBwTGO6d
We do deserve an apology—from all the emotionally immature useful idiots who fall for the sweet sounds of social fairness, and believe that they can make people better if they only have enough power to silence dissent. https://t.co/mFXIPFQzaa

Apologize to us? That sounds like a better plan. Let's go with that one!
Apologize for telling them that they shouldn’t arrest people for silently praying? That’s your position? https://t.co/rC6eXlCiZN

No. No, she doesn't. She's a Democrat and a Republican is in office, so America is back to being an embarrassment.
JD Vance: Europe is retreating from free speech.

Congresswoman Houlahan: JD Vance's speech is unacceptable and he must apologize

Pretty sure Americans are tired of the Obama era apology tour still favored by leftwing progressives who love free-speech hating Europe more than freedom-living America.
Americans want strong leaders speaking truth and refusing to back down to global outrage. If Democrats like Rep. Houlahan are upset or, 'disappointed,' then it was probably a great speech. According to all the people that matter, it absolutely was!
Thank you, VP Vance!
