German Chancellor Olaf Scholz criticized U.S. Vice President JD Vance for comments he made Friday in support of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party just days before Germany's national election
Vance, who was in Munich for the Security Conference, met with AfD party leader Alice Weidel before making a speech where he argued against the long-standing German political practice of isolating the AfD, saying, "There's no room for firewalls" in a democracy. He also accused European governments of suppressing free speech under the guise of fighting misinformation, AP News reported.
