In a speech from the Senate floor, the Kentucky Republican bashed fellow members of his party for creating a “cult of personality” around the Hungarian authoritarian.
Hey, you may not know this, but the massive swing worldwide towards these ultra right governments is because one of our former prime ministers is responsible.
Canada’s Stephen Harper was integral in getting orban elected.
Just for reference, the woman to the right of Orbán is the ex-president of Hungary who had to resign for pardoning a guy who was convicted for aiding and abetting the rape of orphans and trying to sweep it under the rug. The pardon was most likely ordered by Orbán’s wife and the bishop of Hungary. The bishop still maintains the pardon was fine, despite the fact he doesn’t dispute the charges and the conviction.
