It’s Friday night at a small AfD campaign rally in Blankenburg, on the outskirts of Berlin, and local party bigwig Beatrix von Storch is jubilant. After warming up by bashing Germany’s “woke public broadcasters” she switches to the subject she really wants to talk about: “JD Vance’s speech today was fantastic!” She is met by unbridled applause.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference earlier that day, the American Vice President had declared: “What I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values […] More and more all over Europe, they are voting for political leaders who promise to put an end to out-of-control migration. Now, I happen to agree with a lot of these concerns, but you don’t have to agree with me.” He added: “There’s no room for firewalls.”
Honestly one of the best speeches , and right in the face of the gathered Euro authoritarian elite, by JD Vance. simply amazing and a must watch in FULL CONTEXT
You owe it to yourself to take 18 minutes to watch this!pic.twitter.com/ACaHL2ZSPO— Chuck L (@TXHockeyRef) February 14, 2025
