During an interview with Secretary of State Marco Rubi Sunday, CBS’s “Face the Nation” anchor Margaret Brennan brazenly declared that Nazis “weaponized” free speech to conduct the Holocaust.
Brennan asked Rubio about Vice President JD Vance’s speech in Munich where he blasted attending European elites for killing free speech in their countries and trying to silence any citizens who do not share their warped globalist world views.
Brennan charges that Vance “lectured about what he described as censorship, mainly focusing, though, on including more views from the right. He also met with the leader of a far-right party known as the AfD, which, as you know, is under investigation and monitoring by German intelligence because of extremism.”
She then asked Rubio “What did all of this accomplish, other than irritating our allies?”
Rubio responded, “Why would our allies or anybody be irritated by free speech and by someone giving their opinion? We are, after all, democracies.”
“I think if anyone’s angry about his words, they don’t have to agree with him, but to be angry about it, I think actually makes his point,” Rubio added.
“I happen to agree with a lot of what he said, but you don’t have to agree with someone’s speech to- to at least appreciate the fact they have a right to say it and that you should listen to it and see whether those criticisms are valid,” he further urged.
Then came the kicker from Brennan, who is clearly still annoyed with Vance telling her “I don’t really care, Margaret,” a few weeks back.
“Well, he was standing in a country where free speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide,” she declared.
Rubio shot back, “I have to disagree with you. No- I have- I have to disagree with you. Free speech was not used to conduct a genocide. The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews and they hated minorities.”

This is the first time I’ve heard the theory that the Holocaust wasn’t conducted with gas chambers but with free speech zones. pic.twitter.com/mpWm6UH2F4

Brilliantly destroyed her – when she said, "And you know that," what she was trying to do here is to inject a comment making it appear that he agreed, that is called coercive presupposition or a tacit agreement fallacy.

Marco Rubio was on point!

Honestly, Margaret, it was a terrible assertion that you made. There is actually no excuse for this, and absolutely no grace should be given. I have no idea what you were thinking even phrasing this the way you did. A really terrible, almost criminal,view of free speech,…

Investigate criminally these lying propagandists. They have spent the last decade trying to destroy the country with this nonstop gaslighting. It is coordinated and it is for profit with the intent to interfere in our elections.

Vance himself responded to the comments in an X post:
This is a crazy exchange.

Does the media really think the holocaust was caused by free speech? https://t.co/EBUKx75Wfm

Can’t Fix Stupid When Its Part Of Its Genetics!!
What a stupid cow. Probably of Jewish origin, no doubt.
In that case, would not free speech have caused the other Holocaust, you know, the one referred to as the Holodomor in Eastern Europe involving White Europeans, perpetrated during the 40s and 50s by a 94% non-White ethnicity? Then there’s the Armenian Holocaust begging the same question Well!!!!!!
what holocaust! Holocaust original meaning was burned offering. The allies were the only people doing mass exterminations and most people died in the camps because the allies burned all the supply lines. Churchill was a coward paid by the zionist council to feed his drink habit. He ran out of london every time he knew there was a bombing run on london because he had the enigma machine and told nobody about it. There were no death camps before the allies who created them with the murder of german civilians, 70pc of them who never even voted for hitler. The allied leaders were nothing but zionist pigs taking the small hat money to murder civilians and destroy their countries.
Good comment! I totally agree!
We all know politicians in positions of power have to practice their own system of censorship or face non-stop screams of outrage from every quarter of the media. They must state they believe in the holocaust, lock, stock and barrel, or else!!
