“Americans don’t accept limits on freedom of expression”

Not even on that yucky awful terrible German AfD.

Top AfD politician makes surprise visit to White House – Vice President JD Vance has spoken out against the far-right AfD’s political exclusion in Germany…

A White House official confirmed the meeting and said that representatives of the national security council, the vice president’s office and the State Department attended.

The talks focused on democratic participation and election procedures in Germany, according to the AfD and White House officials. AfD politician Joachim Paul, whose candidacy was disqualified by a German court earlier this year, was presented as a case study in what the AfD describes as the narrowing of political freedoms in Germany.

At the Munich Security Conference in February, Vance raised eyebrows by questioning Germany’s political “firewall” against the AfD, a political agreement by other forces not to include the far-right party in governance. Mainstream parties say the policy is intended to avoid a repeat of country’s Nazi era.
