Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany on Saturday accused Vice President JD Vance of unacceptably interfering in his country’s coming elections on behalf of a party that has played down the atrocities committed by the Nazis.

honestly none of this matters and will be ignored. We need every Democrat representative and senator to jointly bring articles of impeachment forward. Maybe a few Republicans would follow suit. Third time's the charm!
"What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations."
WE MUST BAN META AND X, AND INCRIMINATE MUSK AND ZUCKERBERG
we should, yes. this needs to be the only consequence, but as long as the news and who tf ever keep euphemizing absolutely everything regime https://tr.u.mp there won‘t happen anything.
Don't invite the US to discuss anything relating to Europe. Ignore the trumpusk administration. Isolate trumpusk. Europe doesn't need trumpusk. It's time for Europe to stand united and strong against its enemies. And don't fool yourself, trumpusk and his cohorts are your enemy.
(By no means do I intend to downplay the seriousness of your post. Your points are well-taken and in my view, a reasonable response to the current situation.
Agree. We here in the EU will survive the economic disaster Trump will cause in the US and in the world economy. The US won't. That's what was voted in november with the acquiescence of media like NYT and WaPo
JD Vance just wrapped up his European vacation and confirmed what we all suspected: he has no idea what he’s talking about. Feeling like an imposter at Yale? Turns out, it wasn’t just a feeling. Now he’s out to burn the world down over it. Congrats, Yale—your greatest DEI mistake.
Look at what happened to the U.S. - and do all your elections ON PAPER. Take down Twitter and Facebook. They are compromised. Ban Musk from your country. And be unapologetic about it.
That moment when you find out that you're not just dealing with the people of Ohio anymore... that you now answer to the world for your careless use of words.
Vance comes to Europe and criticizes the “enemy within.” According to him, these are democratic values, human rights, LGBTQ rights, respect for the refugee convention, and opposition to right-wing extremists and fake news. He subsequently meets with German Nazis who are precisely the “enemy within.”
Vance visited the Dachau concentration camp memorial and then met with Weidel, whose party described National Socialism as a “bird's-eye view of history”.
Vance, like his boss, is a fucking traitor to his country. Scholz knows this, Macron knows this, everyone knows this and they won't have a foreign fascist traitor interfering in their elections.
@nytimes.com please do some hard core reporting on exposing the outrageousness of the Trump and Musk regime. You should call them out for ever.single.infraction and call this out for what it is: a coup and takeover of the world’s beacon of democracy by crooks and an unelected sociopath.
Poutine, et Trump, deux plus grands déchets humains du monde, qui tarde à mourir grâce aux avancées de la santé ! Deux petits pénis, qui souffrent d'autoritarisme, Il s'agit de voir les cocues de ces deux hommes, elles sont plusieurs avec des enfants sur les bras ! Je ris de voir ça et les électeurs
I feel so ashamed. I had relatives who fought the nazis, now the damned VP of the US is supporting LITERAL nazis and Holocaust deniers! 😢💔🤦♂️
Having been to Germany, they have a healthier and more honest attitude towards their past than we do our own; so good for Schloss for telling Vance to eat it.
Arrogant James D bowman makes a fool of himself and the US every time he opens his idiot mouth. Bring articulate is not the same as being smart. Fuck Yale and its pseudo populist elitism that foments fascism.
Macron calls emergency European summit on Trump, Polish minister says. he expects the European leaders to discuss "in a very serious fashion" the challenges by Donald Trump. "We need to show our strength and unity," Sikorski said in a post on social media.
i really wish ALL european countries would bury their individual sensitivities already and actually WORK TOGETHER. we really could be something if we acted united… if they don‘t why has the european UNION even be founded?!
The New York Times is incapable of calling a party fascist because of their concentrated capital interests so Vance supporting a party that "played down the atrocities committed by the nazis" is the best framing you're going to get.
It does not downplay the Nazis, it replays the Nazis. The ads is actively rhyming history, not just denying it.
Just like Trump/Musk are doing. It’s not gonna be called Fascism, it’s not gonna be called Apartheid one day. It’s new. And Europe is surrounded by enemies now, even from within.
Had a relative who lived during the nazi regime what he went through the stories he told me was terrifying he said if you wasn’t German you was at risk
Amazing. The U.S. VP lecturing Germany on democracy while his own party bans history books, cozies up to extremists, and tries to install a theocracy. A true masterclass in hypocrisy, from a country where democracy is on life support. #HypocrisyHallOfFame #ElectionMedlerInChief
"a party that has played down the atrocities committed by the Nazis"?
Is this supposed to be journalism?
The afd is a fascist party. They want to change Germany into a non-democracy. They are openly anti-migrants and have no idea of what their party program would do economically.
Imagine a dunce nobody lecturing a country with millions of people who are our nato allies, wtf was he thinking, now Germany knows, this administration can't be taken seriously
"Republican" is becoming a euphemism for "Nazi" as the world watches. It's all there, lust for power, greed, racial hatred, lies, corruption, white male entitlement and a compulsion to spread the cancer.
Thank goodness. It was macabre watching JDV walk thru Dachau and speak (brokenly) about the Holocaust (he used the word evil I'm sure). Then he goes out and pleads for the Nazi support parties.
The ego of this administration is infuriating, who the hell do they think they are to lecture other countries on anything when Americans just elected a convicted felon who has violated the constitution repeatedly?! And it hasn’t even been a month since the inauguration.
Vice President JD Vance just shows that he sees Nazism as something good. We real Europeans know that Nazism is evil.
That an American V president interferes in other countries' elections shows how fake the USA has become.
This is my big fear. The rest of the first world will have to reel in the USA, which will not be pretty. But we must, as a people, realize that our US govt has been taken over by nascent Nazi wannabes. It must stop. It must stop!
The AFD Party is terrorizing and threatening local community groups, churches, public officials; most German citizen are afraid they’ll get in. THIS is who Vance is promoting.
So America wants to be isolationist but at the same time it wants to interfere in independent political environments to assist nationalist movements around the world?
Trump, Musk, Vance are ridiculously incompetent and lacking in integrity or empathy or in any degree of intelligence. Unfortunately for us, if all three are removed, we would then be stuck with Mike Johnson who is no better than these three. How can the GOP be so devoid of effective leaders?

And Mr Vance said that our democracy in Europe is being eroded? Well.. unlike, what is it? the 48th most educated country in the world, the reason he’s critical is because we try to fact check news here and our democracy has ‘settled’ through centuries of pain, mistakes and history. He’s a stooge
Perhaps JD Vance could check out the Freedom Index and note most of Europe including Germany (and Canada of course) rank higher that the US tied for 17th https://www.cato.org/human-freedom-index/2024
Pax Americana has ended. With Russia threstening one border and America threatening another, it's long past the time that Europe take steps to protect itself
The VP of the USA insulted & threatened our European allies before meeting with AfD, Germany's far right Nazi Fascist group to help them campaign for their 2/23 elections
Trump, Musk & Vance know they won't be held accountable for their wrong doing
A great speach by Olaf Scholz👏. This is Europe🇪🇺. We experienced fascists and nazis, and we are free to say loudly “Never again!”
Seeing American Gvmt actively supporting AdD is unbelievable and unacceptable.
Europe understands how hostile the USA is now, but they still refuse to recognize that the USA government is being ran by white supremacist and Nazis at this point.
JD Vance is a complete clown and he will do and say anything to curry favor with Trump and his racist, uninformed base. Fighting against our allies, democracy and the pope seems like he’s out over his skis in the first month as VP. Sad to watch such a jaded, angry young person.
Watched several of the speeches and Q&As at MSC. Europeans more or less told Vance and the Drunk to pound sand. Es seem ready to increase their defense capacity and are committed to beating the murder/thug/kleptocrat….Putin.
The country that fought Nazi Germany and Communist USSR has in an incredible pivot effectively now allied herself with both historical adversaries and become part of a newborn axis of evil. Trump USA is an enemy of Europe and of freedom everywhere.
America is ruled by Elon Musk who performed two Nazi salutes on the day of Trump's inauguration. Musk disgraced everything our country should stand for. Musk should have been immediately removed from having any role in our government. Instead Republicans continue to praise him.
He's right. If you want to save Germany, cut off access to all US-owned SM sites, and do not allow anyone in current US admin into Germany until after the elections are over.
In one month we've gone from the decency and grace of Biden/Harris to whatever the hell this is. Our veep bombed on the world stage like an amateur comic on open mic night and now he flirts with Nazis. Why are we still even talking about Nazis? Didn't we as a planet decide they were evil?
JD Vance came to Munich to give a speech for the US MAGA following domestically and to give support for #AfD in the upcoming elections internationally. Old MAGA & Musk playbook on "free speech" & "democracy".
Elon’s favourite political party. I have to admit I expected it take longer for the world to accept Nazis again. It won’t be long before Trump makes the Nazi salute compulsory for all government employees.
It was always thought that Vance's use of Hitler to describe trump was a pejorative, a slur. But in light of Vance meeting with the revamped nazis, I'm now of the mind that his words about trump being Hitler was a complement. That by being America's Hitler trump is now legit in the eyes of the nazis
🤬 Vance is the anti Christ! He is worse than chump because he actually knows what he is doing as opposed to chump who is just following a script written by the Heritage Foundation.
Vance visited the Dachau concentration camp memorial and then met with Weidel, whose party described National Socialism as a “bird's-eye view of history”.

"Trump is old, bitter, and quite deranged..
His only agenda is to tear down burn down and destroy everything..
Being a bigger section of the history books than Hitler was is Trump's only goal.
Everything else is gibberish"

Downplayers NYT
The shift away from America truly started yesterday after Vance’s disgusting speech.
Soon we will see American exports to Europe and around the world collapse. 🤔
He, and the American facist movement, are indeed interfering with all democratic countries elections
Be smarter, show integrity
It is shameful
Now 🇺🇸 is telling Germany to let the Nazis back at the table?
Kinda sh*tting on the memory of those who gave their lives don't you think?
Nazis. Are. Bad.
Do. Not. Support. Nazis.
Bold. I know...
Trump, Hegseth are both shit-heels of the highest order…

Shocking!

He doesn't either, and he chills with Germany's 21st century Nazi in the person of Alice Weidel.
Vance is flexible.
After all, common traits that make a true friend include honesty, loyalty, dependability, and empathy.
Do I need to say more, America?
Trump, Musk & Vance know they won't be held accountable for their wrong doing

Period.
And the New York Times is Ok with that.
Fuck you, NYT.
May as well change your name to Der Stürmer.
What happened to your self-respect and your esteem for your role in a democracy?
There, #BrokenTimes, fixed it for you.
