American broadcaster CBS followed German police as they raided homes for speech crimes, such as posting a "racist cartoon" on the internet after U.S. Vice President JD Vance criticised censorship across Europe. The post Vance Vindicated: CBS Follows German Police on Raid over ‘Racist Cartoon’ Posted Online appeared first on Breitbart.
CBS reported on a German police raid targeting individuals accused of posting a "racist cartoon" online, highlighting Germany's strict approach to hate speech. Vice President JD Vance criticized this, comparing it to Soviet tactics and urging Europe to uphold free speech values. Germany's legal system allows police to monitor and penalize speech deemed harmful, with over 3,500 cases annually. Vance's remarks sparked controversy, with some in Germany defending civil liberties while others, including CBS anchor Margaret Brennan, defended Germany's approach. The debate also touched on the controversial Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Vance emphasized that criminalizing speech strains transatlantic relations.
