Secretary
State Marco Rubio vehemently objected to CBS "Face
the Nation" host
Margaret Brennan's clumsy suggestion "free speech" was
"weaponized" by Nazi Germany to conduct genocide on Jews during the
Holocaust.
"I
have to disagree with you: Free speech was not used to conduct a
genocide," Rubio shot back at Brennan. "The genocide was conducted by
an authoritarian Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal, because they
hated Jews and they hated minorities and they hated those that they – they had
a list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews.
"There
was no free speech in Nazi Germany. There was none. There was also no
opposition in Nazi Germany. They were a sole and only party that governed that
country. So that's not an accurate reflection of history."
Brennan
was attempting to get Rubio to criticize Vice President J.D. Vance's Munich,
Germany speech where he called out Europe for silencing free speech under the
guise stopping hate speech.
"Why
would our allies or anybody be irritated by free speech and by someone giving
their opinion?" Rubio said. "We are, after all, democracies. The
Munich Security Conference is largely a conference of democracies, in which one
of the things that we cherish and value is the ability to speak freely and
provide your opinions. And so, 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.
"I
thought it was actually a pretty historic speech. Whether you agree with him or
not, I think the valid points he's making to Europe is we are concerned that
the true values that we share, the values that bind us together with Europe,
are things like free speech and democracy and our shared history in winning two
World Wars and defeating Soviet communism and the like. These are values that
we've shared in common. And in that Cold War, we fought against things like
censorship and oppression and so forth.
"The
point of his speech was basically that there is an erosion in free speech and
in tolerance for opposing points of view within Europe, and that's of concern
because that is eroding – it's not an erosion of your military capabilities.
That's not an erosion of your economic standing. That's an erosion of the
actual values that bind us together in this transatlantic union that everybody
talks about.
"And
I think allies and friends and partners that have worked together now for 80
years should be able to speak frankly to one another in open forums without
being offended, insulted, or upset. And I spoke to foreign ministers from
multiple countries throughout Europe. Many of them probably didn't like the
speech or didn't agree with it, but they were continuing to engage with us on
all sorts of issues that unite us."
