As we told you earlier, Vice President JD Vance spoke at the Munich Security Conference and basically roasted all of Europe with reality check after reality check:
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.

In this single passage, JD Vance makes manifest the core lie driving US/EU foreign policy for decades: we claim everything we do is for "advancing democracy" when the goal is often the exact opposite.

Ouch!
Some of the people in attendance who might have gotten used to hearing from Kamala Harris weren't happy. One of them was German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius:

Uh oh, VP Vance struck a nerve:
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, speaking a couple of hours later, said he couldn’t let the speech go without comment.
“If I understood him correctly, he is comparing conditions in parts of Europe with those in authoritarian regimes,” Pistorius said. “That is unacceptable, and it is not the Europe and not the democracy in which I live and am currently campaigning.”
Sounds to us like Vance was right over the target and somebody didn't like it. Pistorius no doubt was not alone in disliking Vance's reality check.
Pistorius did prove a point, however:
He is proving JD Vance’s point by claiming his speech is not acceptable.

"Stop the censorship."
"It's unacceptable to say that."
You can't make this stuff up!
And meanwhile German women are afraid to go out of their homes because they imported 3rd world

There have been several terrorist attacks in Germany in the past 12 months.
It's not democracy when you silence those with a different opinion by threatening jail time

Some have a bizarre definition of "democracy."
