As Texas Republicans used the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday to rally their base, they faced fierce criticism from Democrats for sharing the stage with Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian prime minister facing backlash for racist comments.

Texas Republican officials at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday prodded attendees to suit up for a “red wave” in the upcoming November midterm elections, criticizing federal immigration policy and inflation while boasting about Texas’ economic successes.

But as Republicans used the conference to rally their base, they faced fierce criticism from Democrats for sharing the stage with Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian prime minister facing backlash for racist comments. Gilberto Hinojosa, the Texas Democratic Party chair, called state officials attending the four-day event “a shame.”

I’m more concerned 😳: in 2014 he said, the world 🌎 should stop 🛑 looking 👀 at the USA 🇺🇸 4 leadership & look 👀 2 Russia 🇷🇺 & China 🇨🇳. .. 🤦🏽‍♂️ where they install people they want, no matter who citizens vote for. Now he loves 💕 the Republican Party. Hmm 🧐 I wonder why 🤔 😂

The Republican Party's CPAC is taking hate speech, pro-fascist, and pro-Russian propaganda shows internationally. They are starting by headling their first conference with Hungary's Viktor Orbán.

Orban wants to be like his friend Putin. Both are fascist. Now the Republican Christofascist Party ally with Orban and Putin to take destroy American democracy.

Hungary's PM Orbán refuses calls from his people and world leaders to level harsh crippling sanctions on his pal Vladimir Putin for its invasion of Ukraine.

Alarm grows as more Republicans embrace Orban's ‘pure Nazi’ fascist and pro-Putin rhetoric in the USA. He will be a featured speaker at the CPAC convention in Dallas, Texas August 4-7.

Orban will only get worse. He'll align with Putin next to undermine the NATO alliance. How democracy died in Hungary. via voxdotcom

Learning what brings Vladimir Putin’s Russia and Viktor Orbán’s Hungary together should prove instructive in understanding similar relationships, like those between Putin and Republican Donald Trump, in destabilizing the world's democracies.

Racist 1 rule: they deny they are racists... listen to AM660 Radio every morning

Any thinking person would criticize an organization hosting that evil twit.

Is anyone surprised about the racist comments, this is what republicans wan t to turn Texas into

I'm sorry? Only Democrats were appalled? What about normal Republicans? No uproar? No objections voiced? What about businesses & big corporations?

Isn't this like the eleventy-billionth CPAC this year?

Speaking of politicians that make racist statements...

I mean, they all packed up and went to Hungary for shit's sake. Unfortunately, they came back. They're cheering a guy his own longtime advisor says delivered 'a pure Nazi speech'

simple choice. Texas Republicans: love racists. are racists. love authoritarians. are authoritarians. Texas Democrats: not racists. not authoritarians.

I wonder how Republicans would act if dems held the DNC convention with Castro. Their god damn heads would explode.

The Russians are the bad guys. Viktor Orban and Donald Trump support the Russians. That makes them (and anyone who supports them) bad guys, too.

In authoritarian Hungary, a woman can get an abortion up to 24weeks The republicans are even more extreme than Orban

Autocratic Hungarian leader Orban cheered in Texas by U.S. conservativesHungary's hard-right leader Viktor Orban, after being accused by ally of 'Nazi'-like rhetoric, is hailed at conservative event also featuring Trump. Because he is them, they are him. Rotten peas in a pod. Thought this was The Onion for a second. All the things that horrify decent people about him are exactly what MAGA loves about him. These aren’t potential “deal breakers,” they are why he was asked to speak in the first place.
