The utter hypocrisy was met with a room full of hundreds of people, and about FIVE of them applauded.
I think four of them were CHINESE. It was only the Chinese 🇨🇳 and the Russians 🇷🇺 who liked the speech…
…He (Vance) was talking about the ‘enemy within’.
This is some of the same language that Hitler used to JUSTIFY the holocaust.
Just after the speech, vice president Vance went to the old Nazi party headquarters in Munich to meet with the leader of the modern day NEO NAZI party in Germany.
So what was bad at Munich could actually get worse. This is a very, very dangerous administration.

Second crisis Ukraine summit planned for Wednesday
More EU leaders, plus Norway and Canada, are expected to attend, 48 hours after previous talks.
BRUSSELS — European and other world leaders are planning to hold a second emergency summit in Paris on Wednesday as pressure grows to forge a cohesive response to Donald Trump's divisive plan to end the war in Ukraine.
A smaller group of leaders — including those from France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Denmark and the United Kingdom — gathered in the French capital on Monday, after being left reeling from United States President Trump's decision to talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin and leave them out in the cold.
The latest meeting has not been officially confirmed but is likely to go ahead, two European officials said on Tuesday evening. "For the time being we can’t indicate anything," said a French government spokesperson when asked about the meeting.
In addition to Monday's attendees, the EU countries of Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Greece, Finland, Romania, Sweden and Belgium as well as Canada and Norway ― both NATO allies ― are invited to Wednesday's talks, according to Reuters, who first reported the development.
Monday's French-led effort to present a united front on Ukraine in the face of rising fear over Trump's intentions fizzled as they failed to agree on sending troops to police a possible peace deal.
The U.S. and Russia held bilateral talks in Saudi Arabia for 4.5 hours on Tuesday, in which U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov agreed to form high-level negotiating teams to discuss a settlement to the war in Ukraine.
Neither Ukraine nor Europe had a representative at the negotiating table.

How federal judge’s decision could determine Adams’ fate as Hochul mulls ousting NYC mayor in historic move
Gov. Kathy Hochul will wait for a federal judge’s upcoming decision in Eric Adams’ corruption case before she potentially takes the extraordinary step of removing New York City’s mayor, said the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Sharpton gave a glimpse in Hochul’s thinking on Adams’ future after a high-stakes meeting inside the governor’s Manhattan office Tuesday.
The sit-down was one of several high-profile meetings Hochul planned as she weighs whether to remove Adams from office over growing concerns that he’s politically beholden to President Trump.
“We’re going to wait and see what the judge says tomorrow so we do not set a precedent,” Sharpton told reporters.
“Supposing today she removed him because he’s been indicted and the judge says tomorrow, ‘I’m throwing out the indictment,’ it would be premature.”
Judge Dale Ho is holding a hearing Wednesday over the Justice Department’s bid to quash Adams’ corruption case.
Ho warned that the government’s bid to abandon the prosecution isn’t a done deal, noting a recent ruling that judges can reject such moves if doing so would be “clearly contrary to manifest public interest.”
The governor announced the extraordinary set of sit-downs — which will include City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, Comptroller Brad Lander, US House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Queens Borough President Donovan Richards — after four New York City deputy mayors resigned en masse Monday.

Half of NYC’s deputy mayors dramatically resign in wake of Eric Adams’ controversial reprieve from Trump DOJ
Half of New York City’s deputy mayors dramatically resigned Monday in a major blow to Eric Adams’ administration – as a top rival threatened the mass exodus could lead to his ouster.
The resignations of Adams’ four senior aides — led by First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer –thrust City Hall even deeper into uncharted territory as the mayor faces mounting questions about whether he can govern the city after his controversial reprieve from his historic corruption case by President Trump’s Justice Department.
The four deputy mayors — Torres-Springer, Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi, Deputy Mayor for Health Human Services Anne Williams-Isom and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Chauncey Parker — resigned as dozens rallied in support of Adams unfolded in Rehoboth Cathedral in Brooklyn.
What gold?
