US Vice President JD Vance has slammed Germany’s free speech laws, linking them to the US military presence in the country. Speaking at CPAC, he questioned why American taxpayers should support Germany if its citizens could be jailed for online speech. Vance also accused European leaders of fearing their people and stifling dissent. His remarks follow a CBS report on Germany’s hate speech laws, which he claims threaten European-American relations. German officials, including Chancellor Olaf Scholz, dismissed his criticism, defending Germany’s regulations on Nazi symbols and hate speech.
