CBS News' Margaret Brennan won her obvious best last month to oust concessions from Vice President JD Vance. In an interview with “Face the Nation,” Vance rejected both Brennan's liberal estimation and the volatile facility that bolstered her various lines of attack.
Brennan is clearly committed to hitting Vance with a critique that sticks to Vance, and during that time he attacked the Vice President.
Her interview With Secretary of State Marco Rubio, aired on Sunday. The CBS News host was concerned about Vance's Friday speech at the Munich Security Conference in Germany, particularly the impact of his criticism of European censorship, suggesting that a free speech would set the stage for the Holocaust .
Rubio, like Vance before him, refused to indulge in Brennan's fantasy, instead pointing out the falsehood of her revisionist history.
In a speech on Friday, Vance denounced European countries for political movements and the ruthless oppression of ideas. Those destructive mass migration policies. Dismissal of citizen concerns. and an attack on their religious freedom. Vance further expressed concern that Europe is turning its back on values it once shared with America.
Although most have been well received on this side of the Atlantic, various European officials were uneasy about the fact-based observations of the Vice President.
German Socialist Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, for example, argued that Vance's suspicions of European democracy were “unacceptable” despite the Pistorius's country's authorities at work.

“He was focusing on lectures on what he described as censorship, primarily on including more views from the right,” Brennan told Rubio over the weekend. “He also met with the leader of a far-right party known as the AFD. This, as you know, has been investigated and monitored by the German intelligence agency for extremism. This is what I would say. What have you achieved other than inspiring our allies?”
Rubio told Brennan that European strokes over Vance's speech have more or less proven the vice president's point.
“I have to oppose you.”
“Why are we frustrated by our allies and everyone expressing their freedom of speech and opinions? After all, we are democratic,” Rubio said. “If anyone is angry at what he says, I don't think they need to agree with him, but I think they're actually making his point because they're angry about it.”
The Secretary of State further said that while European leaders frequently criticize the United States, “we're not throwing tantrums about it.”
Brennan attempted to contextualize the stimulation of European officials for Vance's speech with the help of Vance's history, and Vance said, “he stood in a country where free speech was weaponized to carry out genocide, He met with the head of a political party who has far more – to the right historic bond with extreme groups.”
Rubio prevented the host from skating past the allusion that Europeans, particularly Germans, were sensitive to criticisms of censorship, as the Holocaust was somehow a result of free speech.
“I have to oppose you. Free speech was not used to carry out genocide,” Rubio said. “Genocide was carried out by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to be Genocidal because they hated the Jews. They hated the minority and they hated them.
“Nazi Germany had no freedom of speech. There was nothing,” Rubio continued. “There was no opposition to Nazi Germany. They were the only party that ruled the country, and they were not an accurate reflection of history.”
“People are losing their hearts.”
According to In the Holocaust Encyclopedia of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Nazi regime abolished freedom of the press and freedom of the press in the early 1930s, closed or seized anti-Nazi publications, and included burning of books considered Germain. We have closed or suppressed any form of media content.
When the Nazis ran Germany, freedom of speech was virtually nonexistent, but there were many restrictions on speech over the past few years.

Weimar Germany had laws prohibiting hateful speeches (particularly hateful speeches directed at Jews), and the top Nazis, including Joseph Goebbels, Theodor Fritsch and Julius Strycher.
I went to prison To violate them. The Weimar Republic's efforts to curb Nazi speeches are so well known in the academic world that one professor explained the idea that speech restrictions would have stopped the Nazis as “Weimar's mistake.” The Weimar Republic not only shut down hundreds of Nazi newspapers, but in two years it closed 99 in Prussia alone, but accelerated the crackdown on speeches as the Nazis rose to power. Hitler himself was banned from speaking in several German states from 1925 to 1927.
Critics denounced Brennan for her apparent historical illiteracy.
