Vance has the charisma of a wooden chair.

I mean, my defense of that interview would be to say what I was able to do, I hope, was to put on record what the AFD actually stands for rather than what they think they stand for.

So, for example, there's an exchange in there that people can watch where I said, well, what do you think about the fact that your manifesto talks about Muslims the way that Hitler talked about Jews?

And he said, oh, you can't just bring up Hitler.

I said, yes, here's the evidence.

I bring receipts.

Your manifesto says Islam is an alien religion.

Muslims don't belong in Germany.

This is exactly the language that was used about Jews in De Sturmer in the 1930s.

And he said, oh, I don't know anything about that manifesto.

I'd never heard about that manifesto.

moment there to put that stuff on the record.

And again, this is about appealing to the broader public.
