Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary and close ally of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, is also, by virtue of his white nationalist and authoritarian tendencies, a darling of the right-wing of the Republican Party, so it is only natural that he should travel to the United States next week, not for a state visit, but rather to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas. CPAC, collectively a big admirer of Orban's, held it's first European conference in Hungary this past May.
As with many things associated with CPAC, Viktor Orban's trip to speak at the conference in Dallas is already steeped in controversy. Last week the Hungarian leader gave a speech in Romania in which he complained about a "flood" of immigrants being "forced" on his homeland, and then declared that he did not want Hungary to become a "mixed-race" country. One of Orban's top aids, a Jew, quit in protest and noted that Orban seemed to be channeling Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels. Romania's foreign minister also denounced Orban's speech, as did the International Auschwitz Committee which called the Orban's remarks "stupid and dangerous."
But Viktor Orban's Nazi sentiments did not offend the CPAC organizers who are still delighted to have the Hungarian leader coming to Dallas to share his wit, wisdom, and white nationalist views on how the world should be.
It's going to be an exciting time in Dallas net week. In addition to hosting a European leader, the CPAC conference will be awash in conservative causes, media stars, political dignitaries, candidates, straw polls, hookers, partying, and, of course, the standard right-wing symbology like guns, crosses, Confederate flags, and swastikas.
There will be swastikas!
(And if some young, dark-skinned, Middle Eastern Jew speaking Aramaic tries to crash the party, he will be promptly beaten and arrested!)
