JD Vance has suggested that American support for NATO should be predicated on the European Union not regulating Elon Musk and his X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter.

The Republican vice presidential nominee and Ohio senator claimed in an interview with YouTuber Shawn Ryan that a top EU official had threatened to arrest the billionaire if he allowed former President Donald Trump back on X.

“The leader, I forget exactly which official it was within the European Union, but sent Elon this threatening letter that basically said, ‘We’re going to arrest you if you platform Donald Trump,’ who, by the way, is the likely next president of the United States,” Vance said in the interview published last week.

Trump’s running mate then suggested that US support for NATO should be used as a cudgel to get the Europeans in line.

We must face one fact. The EU is not the USA and they have no First Amendment. ;)

I saw this headline somewhere else earlier today. The globalist media has gone insane. Reigning in hostile and threatening behavior from government functionaries is not at all the same thing as giving X free reign.

The Founders fought a revolution over this. They won and the loan to prosecute the war was paid off during the administration oof Andrew Jackson. ;)
