JD Vance: ‘If America can survive 10 years of Greta Thunberg’s scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk’
Vice President J.D. Vance delivered his first major speech in Europe on Friday speaking at the Munich Security Conference in Germany.
During his speech VP Vance did not hold back – just like his boss!
J.D. Vance, the former attorney, US Senator, and Marine Corps veteran from Ohio, blasted the EU elites who threaten Elon Musk and insist on ridding the continent of free speech.
J.D. Vance did not hold back reminding the Europeans about their nauseating record of lecturing Americans with bratty children like anti-Semite Greta Thunberg.
Vice President J.D. Vance: More and more all over Europe, they’re 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. I just think that people care about their homes, they care about their dreams, they care about their safety and their capacity to provide for themselves and their children, and they’re smart.
I think this is one of the most important things I’ve learned in my brief time in politics, contrary to what you You might hear a couple of mountains over in Davos, the citizens of all of our nations don’t generally think of themselves as educated animals or as interchangeable cogs of a global economy. It’s hardly surprising that they don’t want to be shuffled about or relentlessly ignored by their leaders. It is the business of democracy to adjudicate these big questions at the ballot box.
I believe that dismissing people, dismissing their concerns, or worse yet, shutting down media, shutting down elections, or shutting people out of the political process protects nothing. In fact, it is the most surefire way to destroy democracy. Speaking up and expressing opinions isn’t election interference.
Even when people express views outside your own country, and even when those people are very influential.
Trust me, I say this with all humor, if American democracy can survive 10 years of Greta Thunberg’s scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk. But what no democracy, American, German, or European, will survive is telling millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, their please for relief, are invalid or unworthy of even being considered. Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters. There’s no room for firewalls. You either uphold the principle or you don’t.
Vice President J.D. Vance is going to steal our hearts if he doesn’t watch it!
Bravo!
