Dem Congressman Likens J.D. Vance’s Munich Speech to Hitler — Claims Rhetoric Could Be Used to ‘Justify The Holocaust’ (VIDEO)

A Democratic Congressman has compared J.D. Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference to Adolf Hitler.

Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachussetts said that the rhetoric Vice President Vance used at the conference was reminiscient of Nazi Germany.

“He was talking about ‘the enemy within.’ This is some of the same language that Hitler used to justify the Holocaust,” Moulton said during an appearance on MSNBC on Monday.

He went on to describe the speech as “out of touch” with public opinion and accused him of selling out the people of Ukraine.

“I think many of us Americans just felt totally embarrassed as VP Vance delivered really not a speech but a condescending lecture about the fundamental tenets of democracy to our European allies, and what was most remarkable is just how hypocritical this speech was,” the Massachusetts Democrat continued.

Moulton also slammed Vance for meeting with members of the conservative Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, claiming he went to “the old Nazi Party headquarters in Munich to meet with the leader of the modern-day Neo-Nazi party in Germany.”

During his speech last week, which was widely praised by conservatives and patriots on both sides of the Atlantic, Vance called out the staggering authoritarianism of some of Europe’s leading countries, such as Germany and the United Kingdom, particularly concerning the issue of freedom of speech.

“What I worry about is the threat from within,” Vance said during the address.

”The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values: values shared with the United States of America.”

“Free speech, I fear, is in retreat and in the interests of comedy, my friends, but also in the interest of truth, I will admit that sometimes the loudest voices for censorship have come not from within Europe, but from within my own country, where the prior administration threatened and bullied social media companies to censor so-called misinformation,” he added.

Despite horrifying left-wing European leaders, the speech will likely go down as a historic moment in which Europe was forced to confront its slide into authoritarianism.

National elections will be held in Germany this weekend, with the Alternative for Germany party soaring in the polls.

The outcome of this election could determine the fate of not just Germany but Europe as a whole.
