With right-wing officials suggesting there is not yet enough evidence of Hungarian authoritarian Viktor Orban's racist views despite his recent speech which has drawn comparisons to Nazi propaganda, the largest annual gathering of conservatives in the U.S. is moving forward with plans to host the prime minister next week.
Right-wing leaders drew condemnation earlier this month when they invited Orban to speak at CPAC in Dallas and in May when they held an auxiliary meeting of CPAC in Hungary. At that gathering, the Hungarian leader advised the Americans present to take control of the media in order to hold onto power. Writer Zack Hunt said conservatives are still welcoming Orban to CPAC 'because' of his speech in Romania, not 'despite' his comments.
