Vice President JD Vance denounced German censorship after a major legacy media player acted as an apologist for the authoritarian practices in the European country.
Vance responded to a clip from a Sunday segment of CBS News’s 60 Minutes, which featured German prosecutors shamelessly bragging that they jail individuals for insults and so-called lies. “Insulting someone is not a crime, and criminalizing speech is going to put real strain on European-US relationships. This is Orwellian, and everyone in Europe and the US must reject this lunacy,” Vance wrote on X.
