Speaking at the Munich Security Conference last week, Vice President J.D. Vance condemned the cancellation of Romania’s presidential election by the country’s Constitutional Court, acting on orders from the European Union. In a speech that shocked European observers, Vance said:
“Now we’re at the point, of course, that the situation has gotten so bad that this December, Romania straight-up canceled the results of a presidential election, based on the flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from its continental neighbors.
“Now, as I understand it, the argument was that Russian disinformation had infected the Romanian elections.
“But I’d ask my European friends to have some perspective. You can believe it’s wrong for Russia to buy social media advertisements to influence your elections. We certainly do. You can condemn it on the world stage, even.
“But if your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn’t very strong to begin with.
“Now the good news is that I happen to think your democracies are substantially less brittle than many people apparently fear, and I really do believe that allowing our citizens to speak their mind will make them stronger still. Which of course brings us back to Munich, where the organizers of this very conference have banned lawmakers representing parties on both the left and the right from participating in these conversations.
“Now again, we don’t have to agree with everything or anything that people say, but when people represent, when political leaders represent an important constituency, it is incumbent upon us to at least participate in dialogue with them.
“Now to many of us on the other side of the Atlantic, it looks more and more like old entrenched interests hiding behind ugly Soviet-era words like misinformation and disinformation who simply don’t like the idea that somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way or even worse, win an election.”
The remarks are encouraging indicating that the Trump administration will hold Romania’s globalist leaders accountable if free and fair elections are not held in the near future. It is also rumored that the American administration played a role in forcing the resignation of Romanian dictator Klaus Iohannis as the country’s president last week.
