Trump welcomes Hungary PM Viktor Orbàn to the WH today. Orbàn is a profile in illberal authoritarians grabbing democracy by the populism p*, as it were. Orban rose to power on anti-immigrant demagoguery, white nationalism & anti-Semitism. He's a hero to Bannon, and likely Trump. 
If you haven't already, read @FranklinFoer's devastatingly good profile on Hungary's Orbàn and his authoritarian populist playbook. Don't think it can't happen here. Much of it already has. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi… via @TheAtlantic

@CNN @BrookeBCNN @DanaBashCNN On the same day that Trump used the Holocaust to falsely slur a Congresswoman as anti-Semitic, Trump literally embraces a poster child for European white nationalism, anti-Semitism, authoritarian Viktor Orbán, who literally rose to power on racism & anti-Semitic attacks on Soros.
@CNN @BrookeBCNN @DanaBashCNN 🚨TRUMP: It's a great honor to have Orbán. He's done a tremendous job. Highly respected all over Europe. Probably like me a little bit controversial. But that's OK. You've done a good job. You kept your country safe.
Orbán is highly criticized by EU & US
