Vice President J.D. Vance took a lecturing tone against a room full of European “elites” at the Munich Security Forum this afternoon, slamming leaders who fail to abide by the wishes of their electorates and condemning the censorship and persecution of conservatives, Christians, and others. Speaking at the Bayerischer Hof hotel, Vance boldly declared, “A new sheriff is in town,” referring to his boss, President Donald J. Trump, and a new American approach to the nation’s partners and allies.

“We gather at this conference, of course, to discuss security, and normally we mean threats to our external security,” “The threat that I worry the most about vis a vis Europe is not Russia, it’s not China, it’s not any other external actor. what I worry about is the threat from within,” he offered, adding that Europe has retreated from the fundamental values of free speech and democracy. 

“When we see European courts canceling elections and senior officials threatening to cancel others, we ought to ask whether we’re holding ourselves to an appropriately high standard,” he said, noting the recent cancellation of elections in Romania. “I say ourselves because I fundamentally believe that we are on the same team. We must do more than talk about democratic values.”
