Viktor Orbán, PM of Hungary, was Trump before Trump

Today we’re looking into attacks on democracy. Many world powers have shifted toward autocracy with strong man leaders. Putin in Russia, Xi in China, Erdogan in Turkey, el-Sisi in Egypt, America with the Trump in 2016, and Viktor Orban in
Hungary. There’s been keen interest with Orban in America among Republicans who applaud his support of white Christian values. Orban was invited to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas, known as CPAC. Tucker Carlson, before he was fired by FOX, produced a documentary about Orban and also hosted his show from Budapest. Former Vice President Mike Pence visited
Hungary for a conference on conservative values.
Joining us to discuss Viktor Orbán…. his relationship with the Republicans and his autocratic rule…. is George Lazar who was born in
Hungary but has lived in the U.S. since 1980. Lazar worked in the computer science field for major American companies including nearly 20 years as a
Director at Price Waterhouse Coopers…. the global accounting and consulting firm. Lazar, now writes about Hungarian politics and visits Hungary frequently where he grew up.
