Maher: J.D. Vance Made a Good Point About Europe’s Free Speech Problems
EXCERPT:
MAHER: “You’re experts on international affairs. And J.D. Vance, while we were off, made a speech in Munich. Lot of people were shocked by it. I thought half of it was pretty shocking because it was about this election that they just had in Germany, where there is a party on the ballot that is very Nazi-friendly. But the first part of the speech was about free speech. That I didn’t think he was so wrong about, especially since I had just seen the ‘60 Minutes’ report — did you see that the week before? — about how they handle free speech in Germany. Wow. This is not the only country where the pendulum doesn’t land in the middle. Apparently, Germany is so afraid to look like their Nazi past that they’re literally knocking on people’s doors and taking their phones and their computers if you just insult people online. They brought up this example of ‘Pimmel,’ means ‘cock’ in German. You can’t call people a dick? I’d be in jail 10 times a week.”
