This is Fine: Rabidly anti-American Mardi Gras float in Düsseldorf Monday is not considered illegal “Hate Speech” (screenshot ZDF)
Podcaster and comedian Steven Crowder picked up the story of German YouTuber “Shlomo Finkelstein”, which Gateway Pundit has been covering for years, who is in prison for 12 months for so-called “hate speech”. Crowder slammed German officials for tolerating “hate speech” against the opposition AfD, Elon Musk or Donald Trump, while arresting people for criticizing the leftist government. “I think it’s time to break ties until they start following our lead. The good news is we have the ability to do that,” Crowder said.
“The Democrat party wants us to be far more like the Left in Germany and Canada,” Crowder said. “You can see by who they are allied with. You can see by the political debates in these countries. I saw it in Canada. The entire Liberal Party, the Trudeaus of Canada, are friends with the Kamalas and the Bidens, and they hate the Trumps. So, it’s important when you look at these issues to examine not just what does the Left do right now – what would they do if they had their way?”
“The good news is you can see what the Right would do, because right now we have it,” Crowder noted. “Right now, the Left is furious about the imbalance of power, but guess what? We’re looking at more freedom, we’re looking at more rights and we’re looking at government efficiency. They think that is the worst abuse of human rights. It’s DOGE right now. Have you seen people actually being silenced or jailed for speech? No. AP not being allowed in the Oval Office doesn’t count. When the Left has unfettered power, this is always what happens, and they prioritize ‘tolerance’ and virtue signaling over the well-being of their own citizens.”
Steven Crowder then played the appeal to Vice President J.D. Vance, President Donald Trump, and Elon Musk Shlomo released from prison (The Gateway Pundit reported).
“This is exactly what J.D. Vance was talking about in the speech he gave at the Munich Security Conference,” Crowder remarked. “What I worry about is the threat from within. The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America. And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it’s sometimes not so clear what happened to the Cold War’s winners.”
“I look to Brussels, where EU Commissars warned citizens they intend to shut down social media during times of civil unrest the moment they spot what they’ve judged to be “hateful content.” Or to (Germany) where police have carried out raids against citizens suspected of posting “anti-feminist comments” online as part of “combating misogyny on the internet.””
“We cannot have alliances with countries, with nations that not only don’t share our fundamental values, but their views are antithetical to our values. We’ve talked about the priorities of Europe, in providing social benefits, social welfare, free internet, free health care, free vacation, free lunches, instead of protecting themselves. So, we know they are not aligned with the United States as it relates to military values, as it relates to international treaties they don’t honor. So they’re not good friends.”
“The priorities of Germany and most of Europe is punishing speech, intimidating citizens, while tolerating evil and allowing radical Islamic fundamentalism to flourish,” Crowder said. “They say this person needs to de-radicalize. I think the people who actually run over your folks with cars need to be de-radicalized.”
Crowder cited several examples of criminalizing free speech in Germany, such as AfD politician Marie-Thérèse Kaiser, who was fined for a Facebook post about migrant rape, or shutting down Compact Magazine and arresting the publisher, Jürgen Elsässer (TGP reported).
Elsässer is being sued Friday in Halle for posting that NGO “Campact”, Germany’s version of “Move On”, is funded by Open Society and the German government. Campact-owned censorship NGO HateAid was funded with €2,516,218.51 by the German government 2021-2023, Campact was funded with $300,000 by Open Society 2021, which in turn is funded by USAID and the EU.
“They arrested a 64-year-old man who called the Deputy Chancellor an “idiot” on X. That’s not even mean. That’s a very, very polite insult – especially if he said it with a German accent,” Crowder said. “They conducted raids and interrogations of 45 people for “misogynistic posts” in Germany.”
“My heart goes out to the German people, who don’t want this. Unfortunately, you have been represented by awful, spineless cowards for far too long and there needs to be more done about it. You need to change more minds there.”
“While they’re raiding 45 of their own citizens’ homes and places of work for “misogynistic” posts, there have been 20 terror attacks since 2015 alone. Three in just the last month. Three in just the last month.”

At the same time, it was perfectly acceptable to make tasteless Mardi Gras floats in Germany, insulting American politicians, Crowder charged, showing floats depicting AfD leader Alice Weidel, Elon Musk or Donald Trup waving swastikas.
“You can get arrested for calling an elected official an idiot in Germany, but they can call our elected officials (anything they want).”
“Yeah, they have Elon Musk with a swastika American flag.”
“And this is the point, guys. The Left will try and tell you that this is that this is about tolerance, about empathy. They don’t believe that for a second”, Crowder said. “It’s about weaponizing speech. You cannot chalk this up to ignorance. They do not believe for a second that it’s more acceptable to refer to Elon Musk or Donald Trump as a Nazi. They don’t. They know it’s not. They want to put you in jail for referring to them as idiots. Do you understand?”
“This whole cloak of empathy – people say woke is woke means being compassionate toward other people. No, it does not. There’s nothing compassionate about weaponizing speech. They tried to do it here in the United States and it hasn’t worked. But it has succeeded in Europe and I think it’s time to break ties until they start following our lead. The good news is we have the ability to do that.“

Meanwhile, in Lower Saxony, masked gangs of government-funded “Anti” fascists are going door to door hunting allegedly “right-wingers”, marking houses with allegedly “good democrats” with Xs and intimidating anyone who disagrees with them, as conservative news site NIUS reported:
