'Utterly distasteful': Donald Trump meeting with Hungary leader slammed by former White House adviser

A meeting today between President Donald Trump and Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been deemed “utterly distasteful” by a former White House adviser in light of the right-wing European leader’s comments against Jewish and other minority groups.

“I think the message is now crystal clear,” she continued. “The United States is not going to allow human rights abuses or anti-Semitic statements or a nationalist approach on immigration to prohibit you from coming to the White House. This fundamentally says something very different about what the United States stands for. I think the message is that this president is very comfortable with authoritarian systems,” Smith added.

The Hungarian leader has engaged in dog-whistle politics, appealing to an anti-Semitic base while limiting political dissent. Though Orban has repeatedly denied the charge of anti-Semitism, in 2018 he was criticized for failing to condemn the use of a historically anti-Semitic trope employed by a pro-government publication on its front page. The cover page of the magazine showed Hungarian Jewish leader Andras Heisler, the head of the country’s largest Jewish group, surrounded by money.

When it comes to immigration policy , a skeptical stance on Europe and a talent for grabbing headlines with provocative and controversial statements, many comparisons have been made between the U.S. president and the Hungarian prime minister.

Well Victor Orban is the most anti Semitic leader in Europe. And it was only yesterday trump claimed he didn’t like anti semetism? So trump likes anti semetism but only from certain people.

Ridiculous commentary. No one has to DENOUNCE anything or anyone to make others happy!

Trump claims White House visit is the anti-SI jinx after Red Sox’ 3-0 streakBoston is undefeated since meeting with the president in Washington. Is Mass not the blue state I thought it was? I can't believe the sox get away with sending the white guys to DC while the POC stay home. I am a warriors fan and if that happened here they would lose at least half of their fan base. Would really like to hear from Mass about this. This ain’t worth reading. Seriously? Oh yeah talk about the winning streak after all the white guys visited the White House. That should help move things along
