Vance welcomes Weidel to his Munich hotel


February 14, 2025 - 8:34 p.m.

US Vice President J. D. Vance met AfD leader Alice Weidel after his speech at the Munich Security Conference this Friday. Weidel's spokesman Daniel Tapp told t-online. ZDF had previously reported.

The meeting took place in a conference room in the Vice President's hotel and lasted about half an hour. Participants were Vance and two advisors as well as Weidel and her spokesman. According to Tapp, the topics of discussion were the war in Ukraine and German domestic policy, including the firewall.

Previously, Vance had offended many allies during his speech at the Munich Security Conference. Among other things, he had accused European states of democratic deficits and warned that the threat from within was greater than that from Russia or China. Vance also criticized the fact that Weidel's AfD was not invited to the security conference. Shortly afterwards, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius sharply contradicted the US Vice President. His statements were "unacceptable."

those born around 1920...

They would probably lynch JD for having meetings with a literal Nazi.

But I get the sense we are on the verge of the new one
