Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who traveled to Hungary this week to meet with far-right Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, is now floating the notion that President Joe Biden might just meddle in Hungary’s election to prevent Orbán from being reelected.
Biden has a whole lot more important stuff to do than worry about this place. Sorry - I loved Hungary when I was there, but I see no need for any intervention at this point.
Now, if some of the secret security forces around the world want to play that game, that’s fine. But the US isn’t gonna play.
It’ll be interesting to see if all of Hungary’s votes are counted, though. How much footsie will be played internally?
Tucker apparently believes millions of Americans are going to vote in Hungary’s election to boot their PM from power. Or maybe it’s the Italian satellites that will flip the votes. Or all those dead people in Chicago. Or something.
Thanks to Republican leadership and actions of the last 20 years, from starting a bloody and destructive war to electing Trump and killing the Iran nuclear treaty, we have given our allies less and less reason to trust us on any long term policies. Having people like Tucker obsequiously interviewing autocrats in which both are snarking on the current US president is just another perfect example of our current state of bipolar insanity for everyone to witness.
“When the president of the United States describes you as a totalitarian thug — it’s a very serious thing to say about somebody,"
It is very serious when the President has a reputation for honesty versus the reputation of Donald Trump. I mean the truth can and often does hurt.
But what is so interesting to me is how with Trump gone, the right wing news still perpetuates lies and attacks truth. Just proves that Trump did not create these aholes but rather these aholes created Trump.
Well the obvious answer to all that is to gift Carlson to Hungary. He needs to stay right there on so he can monitor the International Left, and be the “Johnny on the spot” to foil our dastardly plans. It is the only righteous thing Tucker can do.
“Are you worried that there will be international interference in your election in Hungary?” Carlson asked Orbán.
“Not at all,” the Hungarian leader responded."We’re not worried:we count the votes so we are comfortable with the outcome. You should try that in your country.”
