JD Vance Defends Russian Election Interference By Attacking European Intelligence

Vice President JD Vance became a spokesperson for Russian President Putin by downplaying the disastrous effects Russian election interference has caused around the world, claiming it's just freedom of speech and that if Europeans are intelligent enough, it won't affect them.

Under the Trump administration, the United States has become a satellite communications outlet for Russian propaganda.

Vance just shat on every European intelligence agency by defending right wing extremism and fascist dictatorships.

VANCE: We're at the point, of course, that the situation has gotten so bad that this December, Romania straight up cancelled the results of a presidential election, based on the flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from its continental neighbors.

Now, as I understand it, the argument was that Russian disinformation had infected the Romanian elections.

But I'd ask my European friends to have some perspective.

You can believe it's wrong for Russia to buy social media advertisements to influence your elections.

We certainly do.

You can condemn it on the world stage, even.

But if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn't very strong to begin with.

JD Vance, Steve Bannon, and the entire MAGA cult are claiming that every intelligence agency around the world is part of a global deep state persecuting Trump and all authoritarian oligarchies.
