‘They’re All Impotent’: Victor Davis Hanson Calls EU The US’s ‘Collective Maxine Waters’

Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson appeared on Newsmax Friday and compared the European Union (EU) to Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters.

At the Munich Security Conference, Vice President JD Vance condemned European leaders for their “conscious decisions” that led to mass migration and also for the consequences that followed that mass migration, including the car attack in Munich by an Afghan national. Vance said that stricter entry laws could have averted such tragedies. During an appearance on “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” Hanson said he agreed with Vance and slammed the EU for its inability to adopt necessary reforms, suggesting that if the EU were prudent, it would embrace constructive changes akin to those advocated by U.S. President Donald Trump and seek a bipartisan approach.

“Donald Trump and the MAGA movement is basically not only saving the United States, it’s saving the West. It’s a model for them, and they can’t handle that. So they can’t stand JD Vance. What he says to them, they know it’s true, and they say, ‘Oh my God, I don’t want to hear it,’” Hanson said. “They’re our collective Maxine Waters, you know what I mean?”

The EU, Hanson said, should follow Trump’s lead by embracing bipartisanship and implementing policies that they see benefiting the U.S.

“If they were wise, make constructive criticism, join Trump and try to be bipartisan, and they know they should do what we’re doing. They know they should close the borders, open up free speech. Their GDP is anemic, deregulate, cut taxes, but they can’t do it,” Hanson said. “And it’s like for them the malady, or I should say the drug or the cure, is worse than the disease, so they’re paralyzed.”
