In a powerful speech at the Munich Security Conference, Senator JD Vance took Europe to task over policies he argued are endangering its citizens and undermining fundamental freedoms.
Mass Migration and Violence
Vance sharply criticized Europe's approach to mass migration, suggesting that it has led to increased violence against its own people. He referenced a tragic incident just yesterday, where a migrant drove a car into a crowd in Munich, injuring dozens. According to Vance, this is not an isolated case but part of a troubling pattern linked to immigration policies that he believes are compromising public safety.
“No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants,” Vance said. “More and more all over Europe, they’re voting for political leaders who promise to put an end to out of control migration. I happen to agree with a lot of these concerns. You don’t have to agree with me, I just think that people care.”
Criminalizing Free Speech
Vance also took aim at Europe's restrictions on free speech. He highlighted the story of a man who was penalized for simply praying for three minutes near an abortion clinic in remembrance of a child he and his wife had lost. The man was forced to pay thousands of pounds to the government, a situation Vance called a blatant violation of free speech and religious liberty.
The Real Threats Facing Europe
During his remarks, Vance argued that the biggest threats facing Europe are not from external actors like China or Russia, but from within. He emphasized that issues of mass migration and laws restricting free speech are eroding Europe's foundational values.
“While the Trump administration is very concerned with European security and believes we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine … 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,” Vance stated.
“And what I worry about is the threat from within,” he continued. “The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America.”
Weaponizing Misinformation Laws
Vance went further, accusing European officials of weaponizing laws intended to combat misinformation and disinformation. He argued that these laws are being used to silence populist voices and suppress voter sentiment.
“To many of us on the other side of the Atlantic, it looks more and more like old, entrenched interests hiding behind Soviet-era words like ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation’ who simply don’t like the idea that somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way or, even worse, win an election,” Vance declared.
