Bad optics at best. Why would the GOP openly play footsie with kleptocratic/totalitarian states? Bonus points if you can respond without "BUH BUH BUH LIBZ!"

Tucker is a piece of shit.

Why are they going to Hungary? I thought everything with these clowns was about 'Murica First? Don't they care about the hospitality owners in this country?

Are they bringing the golden statue?

Because Putin, Orban, and other far right leaders know the Neoliberal global majority is against them and it benefits them to stick together and support each other.

Among former Warsaw Pact states, Hungary has done the most to support Moscow (except Belorussia).

It has refused to serve as a conduit for aid to Ukraine, and has taken the smallest number of Ukrainian refugees.

So Tucker Carlson goes there to kiss Putin’s ass from a safe distance, and celebrate the virtues of facis (not that he hasn’t done that before).

Conduct unbecoming of ANY news personality (opinion or otherwise)

A real news organization would have fired him years ago.

Instead, he spreads bigotry, fear, and facism to his trump nation audience.

They don't cheerlead Putin and Orban.

There are people on the Left and the Right who criticize NATO. NATO is a tool of the military industrial complex and it's the Establishment that supports NATO expansion. Ukraine certainly is not immune from criticism, but unless one succumbs to propaganda, criticizing Ukraine is not the same as cheerleading Russia. It is also fine to criticize what the US and other western countries have done in Ukraine. The only reason Democrats aren't is that a Democrat is President.

What Does Tucker Carlson See in Viktor Orban? —

Let’s assume that most, if not all of you reading this piece know who Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson is. For the few who don’t, Tucker (1969- ), is the son of Richard “Dick” Warner Carlson, a former “gonzo” journalist who eventually became the director of the Voice of America, president of the Corpo

The true want and desire of many a Trumpist is for authoritarianism.

A strong leader who will put American right and punish the decedent liberals for their evils.

Tucker is one of those personalities that pushes in that direction and his association and admiration of men like Orban shows it to be true.

The truplicans are such a shock to sane people...

I have No words about Tucker...

WHO used to be a good writer but turned into a far right "replacment" kind of Guy.

Hungary lets them be nazis out in the open.

I thought CPAC was an ‘annual’ event. How many have there been already this year?

Fearmongering are where the profit is made. Think conservative pundits would hold onto ratings if their narrative was "Look, things could be better but we're not doing too bad. Let's engage in calm, reasoned analysis to see where we can find compromise, and where we can argue our policies make more sense." YAWN.

Much better for ratings to whip the audience into hysterics - "THE GREEN M&M IS NO LONGER WEARING HEELS! THEY'RE COMING FOR YOUR GUNS AND RELIGION! COMMUNISM! FASCISM! WHITE PEOPLE MARGINALIZED/PERSECUTED/IMPRISONED! TRANSGENDERS ON THE LOOSE! IMMIGRANTS STORMING THE BORDER! MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF YOUR LIFETIME! DNA ALTERING VACCINES! TAN YOUR BALLS BEFORE YOU GET THE URGE TO USE 'SHE/HER' PRONOUNS!!!!"

Oh yeah. I never thought this kind of thing would have ever made sense for the GOP, but here we are. Maybe next year it will be in Pyongyang.

That's what I'd expect a Russian to say.
