Say whatever you want about J.D. Vance but he isn't playing on the issue of free speech. Just ask poor former MSNBCDNC host Mehdi "hope you don't have a beeper" Hasan....
The American media/left attack on Vice President JD Vance for calling out censorship during his speech in Germany is a truly alarming thing. How do you stand with censorship rather than with the person calling it out?
We even saw the crazy moment where "Face the Nation's" Margaret Brennan claimed that free speech had been "weaponized" by the Nazis to "conduct a genocide." Secretary of State Marco Rubio had to school her on how nuts that was if she thought that free speech was somehow the cause of the Holocaust — that, indeed, the Nazis didn't allow free speech.
After folks on the right called out this insanity, leftist media personality Mehdi Hasan tagged JD Vance in an effort to compare Vance's criticism of the Germans to the White House blocking the AP from the Oval Office and Air Force One. -- Hey @JDVance, I know you’re busy lecturing the Europeans on free speech, but have you seen this? (Mehdi Hasan, 17 Feb. 2025)
Vance's repsonse was epic... Yes dummy. I think there’s a difference between not giving a reporter a seat in the WH press briefing room and jailing people for dissenting views. The latter is a threat to free speech, the former is not. Hope that helps! (VP J.D. Vance, 17 Feb. 2025) (RedState)
Do you think Mike Pence or any other recent vice president would've sent that zinger at a leftist pundit? Nope; they'd just bent over and taken it like establishment types are want to in past years. It also doesn't help that Mehdi Hasan is a we;;-known near-terrorist sympathizer who once accused a conservative commentator of supposedly threatening him on live television.
Paraphrasing something Omar Little once said on The Wire, "You come at Vice President Vance, you better not miss!"
