Podcaster and comedian Steven Crowder picked up the story of German YouTuber “Shlomo Finkelstein”, which Gateway Pundit has been covering for years, who is in prison for 12 months for so-called “hate speech”. Crowder slammed German officials for tolerating “hate speech” against the opposition AfD, Elon Musk or Donald Trump, while arresting people for criticizing the leftist government. “I think it’s time to break ties until they start following our lead. The good news is we have the ability to do that,” Crowder said.
“The Democrat party wants us to be far more like the Left in Germany and Canada,” Crowder said. “You can see by who they are allied with. You can see by the political debates in these countries. I saw it in Canada. The entire Liberal Party, the Trudeaus of Canada, are friends with the Kamalas and the Bidens, and they hate the Trumps. So, it’s important when you look at these issues to examine not just what does the Left do right now – what would they do if they had their way?”
“The good news is you can see what the Right would do, because right now we have it,” Crowder noted. “Right now, the Left is furious about the imbalance of power, but guess what? We’re looking at more freedom, we’re looking at more rights and we’re looking at government efficiency. They think that is the worst abuse of human rights. It’s DOGE right now. Have you seen people actually being silenced or jailed for speech? No. AP not being allowed in the Oval Office doesn’t count. When the Left has unfettered power, this is always what happens, and they prioritize ‘tolerance’ and virtue signaling over the well-being of their own citizens.”
Steven Crowder then played the appeal to Vice President J.D. Vance, President Donald Trump, and Elon Musk Shlomo released from prison (The Gateway Pundit reported).
“This is exactly what J.D. Vance was talking about in the speech he gave at the Munich Security Conference,” Crowder remarked. “What I worry about is the threat from within. The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America. And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it’s sometimes not so clear what happened to the Cold War’s winners.”
“I look to Brussels, where EU Commissars warned citizens they intend to shut down social media during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what they’ve judged to be “hateful content.” Or to (Germany) where police have carried out raids against citizens suspected of posting “anti-feminist comments” online as part of “combating misogyny on the internet.””
“We cannot have alliances with countries, with nations that not only don’t share our fundamental values, but their views are antithetical to our values. We’ve talked about the priorities of Europe, in providing social benefits, social welfare, free internet, free health care, free vacation, free lunches, instead of protecting themselves. So, we know they are not aligned with the United States as it relates to military values, as it relates to international treaties they don’t honor. So they’re not good friends.”
