"Vance beseeched a crowd in Budapest, asking, 'Will you stand for sovereignty and democracy? Will you stand for western civilization? Will you stand for freedom, for truth and for the god of our fathers?'"
"The Hungarian people did not listen. On Sunday, they ended Orbán's 16-year-long rule and handed power to Péter Magyar, a onetime Orbán ally who ran on an anti-corruption message."
"Vance told Fox News on Monday that he was saddened, though not surprised, by the result. Orbán's polling has been terrible, but the campaign speech was 'the right thing to do' for such a loyal friend of the Trump White House."
"Both had a Christian awakening when it was convenient; both are obsessed with fertility; both scapegoat immigrants."
J.D. Vance traveled to Hungary to support Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and promote western civilization. He urged the crowd to stand for sovereignty and democracy against the European Union. However, the Hungarian electorate rejected Orbán, electing Péter Magyar, who campaigned on anti-corruption. Magyar's party secured a supermajority, enabling significant constitutional changes. Vance expressed sadness over the election outcome, noting Orbán's poor polling. Both Vance and Orbán share similar views on immigration and populism, positioning Vance as a supporter of Orbán's political ideology.
