Rubio save with Brennan via Vances Munich -Speech

Foreign Minister Marco Rubio tensioned with CBS presenter Margaret Brennan because of the speech by Vice President Vances in Munich.

Rubio followed Brennan on Sunday on “Face the Nation”, where he was asked what Vance achieved by meeting with a leader of the right -wing extremist political group alternative for Germany (AfD) and is the greatest threat to Europe.

“Why should our allies or someone are irritated by freedom of speaking and by someone?” Rubio asked. “After all, we are democracies.”

Rubio emphasized the countries at the Munich Security Conference, where Vance insulted European civil servants and accused them of censoring the speech with which they did not agree.

“The Munich Security Conference is largely a democratic conference in which we appreciate and appreciate that we are freely speaking and submitting your opinions,” said Rubio.

Rubio argued that nobody had to agree to Vance’s comments, but that his speech was “historical”. The actions of the Vice President criticized sharp criticism.

“I thought it was actually a fairly historical speech whether they agree or not,” said Rubio. “I think the valid points he scores in Europe are: we are concerned that the real values ​​that we share, the values ​​that bind us together with Europe, things like talk and democracy and our common history in Winning of two world wars. “

Brennan pushed back Rubio and argued that Vance’s comments were criticized because he was in Germany, a country with a strenuous story, and the controversial comments made.

“I don’t have to agree,” said Rubio. “Freedom of speech was not used to carry out a genocide. The genocide was carried out by an authoritarian Nazi regime, which happened to be genocidal because they hated Jews and hated minorities. “
