From Fox News: In a speech to European leaders, Vice President JD Vance said the continent’s recent censorship activities were a bigger threat to its existence than Russia.
“The threat that I worry the most about vis-à-vis Europe is not Russia, it’s not China. It’s not any other external actor,” he said in an address at the Munich Security Conference.
“What I worry about is the threat from within the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America.”
Vance called out former European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who said in January that if the right wing German AfD party were to win elections in Germany, the results could go the way of Romania.
“These cavalier statements are shocking to American ears,” said Vance.

Making it clear that the Trump administration supports free speech, Vance said, “Just as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite. And I hope that we can work together on that.”
“In Washington, there’s a new sheriff in town,” he added.

Vance also mocked those who are complaining about Elon Musk.
“If the American democracy can survive 10 years of Greta Thunburg scolding, you can survive a few months of Elon Musk,” he declared.
