Representative Seth Multon, D-Mass, condemned the recent notes of Vice President GD Vans in Munich, claiming that his defense of freedom of expression was similar to the German dictator Adolf Hitler.
Vans attended the Munich Security Conference in Germany last week, where he criticized the European allies for its adoption a “The Soviet”-the style of control.
“The threat I am more concerned about Europe is not Russia, it is not China. It is not any other external actor,” he said. “What worried is the threat from within Europe of some of its basic values, common values with the United States of America.”
While many praised the entry of this speech, which indicates the American leadership and the defense of freedom, others condemned it as a bad view of American politicians on the world stage.
Democratic Deputy Seth Molton condemned the speech of Vice President GD Vans, on the pretext that he embarrassed the Americans.
When the MSNBC host Ali Vitaly asked her about the shape of the room where Vans threw the letter, Multon claimed that the Americans were “completely embarrassed.”
“It was one of the absolute shock and the absolute shock between our European allies, among every person in the public. I think many of us were fully embarrassed because the vice president had truly given a speech, but a lecture on the basic principles of democracy of our European allies.”
He claimed that the speech was a hypocrite, saying: “He talked about respecting the election results. He talked about not imprisoning your political opponents. He talked about not controlling the media.”
He said: “The problem is that this is coming from a man who will not recognize the results of the 2020 elections. This is a day after Trump said that opponents – sorry – members of the sixth committee in January, must be imprisoned by his political opponents.

“I think four of them are Chinese,” he said. “The Chinese and the Russians were only the ones who loved the speech. The Russian Foreign Minister has actually went out and praised the speech. This is the only praise that I heard about what VP Vance said.”
Later on the same interview, he claimed that Vans's speech was such used in Nazi Germany “to justify the Holocaust”, and the German political party that visited, a substitute for Germany, claimed the new Nazis.

This is some of the same language that Hitler used to justify the Holocaust,” he claimed. “Immediately after the speech, Vice President Vice Vice -Press went to the headquarters of the ancient Nazi Party in Munich to meet the leader of the new Nazi Party per day in Germany. So what was bad in Munich could get worse. This is very very, very dangerous management.
