In another sign of how Orbán’s nativist white grievance politics have infused the American right, CPAC’s speakers include the far-right political provocateur Steve Bannon, Republican extremists Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene, entrepreneur and conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell, political commentator Jack Posobeic and, in Saturday’s closing address, Trump himself. He addressed a special edition of CPAC in Budapest earlier this year. Orbán’s invitation to CPAC reflects conservatives’ growing embrace of the Hungarian far-right leader whose country has implemented hardline policies against immigration and LGBTQ+ rights, and is governed by single-party rule.

They hate me and slander me and my country as they hate you and slander you and America you stand for. “They did not want me to be here and they made every effort to drive a wedge between us. “We are not the favorites of the American Democrats,” Orbán said. There were frequent cheers and applause from those present. He took aim at familiar targets such as illegal immigration, same-sex marriage, “leftist media” and philanthropist George Soros while quoting the Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Clint Eastwood. In his CPAC address, he sought to portray western civilization as under siege from progressives and offer a rallying cry for fighting back. Orbán was given a rapturous welcome despite controversy last month when he railed against Europe becoming a “mixed-race” society, comments that one of his closest aides compared to the Nazis before resigning in protest.
