Following his recent speech at the Munich Security Conference, when Vice President JD Vance heavily criticised Europe for stifling free speech, it's come to light that at a much less reported event he also railed at Europe's lack of banjo playing.
Addressing a meeting of the Euro Cowpoke Brethren, he slammed political leaders for silencing banjo playing in Europe, saying, 'What I want to say to our European allies is, I am deeply concerned about European governments and their attack on freedom of banjo playing.'
He went on, 'When I was growing up in my hometown, we would listen to it for hours before going out to hunt tourists. In Europe, government crackdowns on banjo playing, with an insistence on Johann Sebastian Bach instead, is like a Soviet-era mind-virus. Furthermore, deliberate mass immigration into Europe means the banjo is under threat from all kinds of ethnic drumming and chanting, like rap music. Point is, there is a new President in the Whitehouse now and he loves the banjo bigly.'
