The British man who U.S. Vice President JD Vance mentioned as he slammed European elites in Germany on Friday thanked him for referencing his 2022 arrest.
On Saturday morning, Adam Smith-Connor released a 53-second video calling out the hypocrisy of “UK authorities” while heaping praise on Vance for bringing what he called his “crazy” story to the attention of the world.
“I just want to say thank you to Vice President Vance for raising my plight in front of world leaders. Nobody should be criminalized for their prayers, their mere thoughts,” Smith-Connor began.
“My case has exposed the UK authorities in front of the world as they allow thought police to prosecute peaceful, innocent people, for what’s going on in their minds.”
“I will be appealing my conviction in July and pray that justice will be restored to Great Britain. Silent prayers are not a crime. Not here, not anywhere,” he concluded.
The army veteran was given a two-year suspended sentence and ordered to pay £9,000 for saying a silent prayer for his aborted son outside an abortion mill. Before going to trial in 2024, he said that his arrest was a symbol of a nation in decline.
“It is unfathomable that in an apparently free society, I am being criminally charged on the basis of my silent thoughts,” he said.
