Marco Rubio Fires Back at European Elites for Throwing Temper Tantrums Over JD Vance's Historic Speech — Fake News Hack Margaret...
Marco Rubio's sharp rebuttal to European elites and media distortions highlights the critical importance of free speech. His defense of JD Vance's controversial speech raises pressing questions about democracy and dissent across the Atlantic.
Somebody gave Marco some big boy pants
I put this comment in a similar thread but it bears repeating.
Rubio ran for president as an anchor baby, which means he was ineligible to be president or VP. Maybe a death penalty for anchor babies running for president/VP would help, or at least put the Natural Born Citizen clause into federal election law, which would require proof of birth in America to 2 American parents.🤣
If he can do some good while he is blocked from doing any bad, that would be ok.
Lol, absolutely!! He's earned them. 😊
Whoa!! These people are so evil. Marco fires right back at her. Nice to see:
Margaret Brenan: “Well, he was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide. He met with the head of a political party that has far-right views and some historic ties to extreme groups. The context of that was changing the tone of it. You know that, that the censorship was specifically about the right.”
Marco Rubio: “No, I have to disagree with you. Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews and they hated minorities and they hated those that they had a list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews.
There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. There was none. There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were a sole and only the country that governed that country. So that’s not an accurate reflection of history. I also think it’s wrong.
Again, I go back to the point of his speech. The point of his speech was basically that there is an erosion in free speech and in tolerance for opposing points of view within Europe, and that’s of concern because that is eroding. That’s not an erosion of your military capabilities. That’s not an erosion of your economic standing.
That’s an erosion of the actual values that bind us together in this transatlantic union that everybody talks about. And I think allies and friends and partners that have worked together now for 80 years should be able to speak frankly to one another in open forums without being offended, assaulted, or upset.
I spoke to foreign ministers from multiple countries throughout Europe. Many of them probably didn’t like the speech or didn’t agree with it, but they were continuing to engage with us on all sorts of issues that unite us.
Again, at the end of the day, I think that that is a forum in which you’re supposed to be inviting people to give speeches, not basically a chorus where everyone is saying the exact same thing.
That’s not always going to be the case when it’s a collection of democracies where leaders have the right and the privilege to speak their minds in forums such as these.”
