[COMMENTARY] Trump Shares Spotlight With Notorious Racist Antisemite at CPAC in Hungary

If I told you that Barack Obama or Bill Clinton held a convention in a European country run by a dictator who’s buddies with Putin, you’d be pretty mad, right? But the Ultra Dark (With Nuts) MAGA polished up their racisms and took them on the road, all the way to Hungary. Because, as about all of Twitter pointed out, nothing screams “America First!” like leaving America to celebrate America from overseas! And yet, most of it has been met with a collective “Huh? Why are they in Hungary?”

Aside from really not understanding why they traded Boca Raton for Budapest (you don’t need a “European Summit” when you have plenty of Nazis here already OH WAIT I GET IT NOW you want more Nazis, nevermind), there’s also the fact that a notorious Hungarian racist who has called Jews “stinking excrement” shared the same stage that featured virtual appearances from Tucker Carlson, Mark Meadows, and Donald Trump himself. Because those guys weren’t terrible enough, right?

It’s not a shocker the racist antisemites in the GOP didn’t bat an eyelash when Zsolt Bayer, who has referred to Roma as “animals” and used racial slurs against Black people and other people of color, took the stage. First of all, I’ll bet you a nickel that the ones who beamed into CPAC from their hidey-holes had no idea who else showed up once they were done, because they’re all selfish narcissistic jerks. But there were other American Republicans there who applauded a guy who is just as terrible as they are, just in a different language.

Hate speech is hate speech no matter how you translate it, though. It shouldn’t be tolerated that an American political convention invited Hungary’s dictator to speak alongside them.

.@POTUS is on a diplomatic surge for diplomacy.

Yet while he visits Asian democracies & backs Ukraine, US conservatives meet at CPAC in Hungary to collude w/ Europes' autocrats.

It's Democracy vs Despots. The contrast couldn't be clearer. @MSNBC @KatiePhang pic.twitter.com/5yRIwUzyXC

We don’t yet know the reason why there was a CPAC Hungary, but my Spidey Sense is telling me that if you cuddle up to Orban, who cuddles up to Putin, maybe you think you’ll be protected when Daddy Vlad gets extra angry that he’s losing in Ukraine and you can hide in his special bunker while he kills everyone else. He’s already endangering the global wheat supply, it’s fine.
