Vice President JD Vance blasted a trio of German prosecutors who said during an interview with “60 Minutes” that insults — both in person and online — are illegal in their country.
The “60 Minutes” segment that aired on Sunday reported on Germany’s enforcement of its “hate speech” law, which has been around since 2017, and showed police raiding German citizens’ homes and confiscating electronics over social media posts. During the interview, all three German state prosecutors told host Sharyn Alfonsi that insulting someone in public and online is criminal. Those who break the law are usually punished with a stiff fine, but repeat offenders could be thrown in jail.
