Vance scolds European leaders for stripping away free speech protections

During his first overseas trip to Europe, Vice President J.D. Vance gave several notable speeches, especially the one he delivered at the Munich Security Conference, where he torched the European continent for moving away from a God-given right.

According to the Daily Mail, Vance slammed European officials over somewhat recent revelations that free speech, especially on social media, is seemingly no longer welcome in many parts of the continent.

Many in the audience were reportedly shocked that Vance targeted European leaders, as he was mostly expected to touch on issues such as the Ukraine war.

"Europe faces many challenges, but the crisis this continent faces right now, the crisis I believe we all face together, is one of our own making," Vance said.

He added, "If you're 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 who elected me and elected President Trump."

The vice president also made it clear that President Donald Trump will not only fight for Americans' rights to express themselves, but also those of our European allies.

"There is a new sheriff in town," he said referring to President Trump. "We may disagree with your views but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square."

The Daily Mail noted:

He cited the example of a British man, Adam Smith-Connor, who was arrested after he refused to leave a safe zone around an abortion clinic designed to protect vulnerable women.

Vance claimed it was an attack on the 'basic liberties of religious Britons' that 'criminalizes prayer.'

"British law enforcement spotted him and demanded to know what he was praying for," said Vance.

He added, "Adam replied simply, it was on behalf of the unborn son that his former girlfriend had aborted years before."

Vance also accused European leaders of acting more like communist dictators.

He also made it clear that Europe needs to contribute its fair share into helping end the war in Ukraine.

"While the Trump administration is very concerned with European security and believes that we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine, and we also believe that it's important in the coming years for Europe to step up in a big way," Vance said.

It was reported that Vance drew one of the largest crowds at the conference, with people standing three-deep in the aisles to hear him speak.
