Many European globalists were quite offended after Vice President J.D. Vance warned Europe earlier this year that democracy and liberty on the continent were at stake, and it seems he was just vindicated in a big way.

According to Breitbart, Vance's prediction was right on the money, as was proven after populist National Rally leader Marine Le Pen was just banned from running in France's upcoming presidential election. 

A Paris court stunned the country -- and the world -- this week after it ruled that Le Pen will not be able to run to replace President Emmanuel Macron in the 2027 election cycle.

The shocking ban was a result of Le Pen being found guilty of "embezzlement for allegedly using public funds for her party in the European Parliament on political activities in France," the outlet noted.

It gets worse

Not only was Le Pen found guilty of the crimes, she was also sentenced to four years in prison and hit with high fines. The prison sentence will likely be some form of house arrest rather than actual prison.

Conveniently, Le Pen also happens to be the frontrunner for the country's presidential election, and she's not even able to run a campaign during the appeals process.

Breitbart noted:

The ruling even banned her from seeking political office during the appeal process, meaning Le Pen may be blocked from the 2027 presidential election, which she currently stands as the undisputed frontrunner.

Le Pen released a statement on her X account this week, claiming that the "Deep State" is attempting to "steal" the election from her.

🇫🇷 WOW! Marine Le Pen goes NUCLEAR:

“The Deep State have banned me because nothing else has worked, but we will NOT allow them to steal this Election. We are going to defend ourselves and use all the means at our disposal to ensure I can run — and we’re going to win.”

The court's ruling has angered millions of Le Pen's supporters in France and around the world.

Social media reacts

Many on social media immediately recalled Vance's warning about what would soon happen in Europe if the globalist elites' power was left unchecked and uncontested.

"Less than 2 months after @JDVance warned that the greatest threat to Europe was from within, leftists in France have banned Marine Le Pen from running for President despite being the leading candidate. Fill up the JD Vance was right jar!" Robby Starbuck wrote.

Another X user wrote, "JD was right, and we wish he wasn’t, in this case."

It'll be interesting to see how Le Pen's supporters ultimately react to the news.
