DALLAS — Frequently employing war-like rhetoric, Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Thursday told a crowd of conservatives in Dallas that the future of “Western civilization” is in peril — attacking progressives while imploring right-wing Americans and Hungarians to “know how to fight.”
“The West is at war with itself,” Orban said on Thursday, opening the three-day Conservative Political Action Conference. “We have seen what kind of future the globalist voting bloc has to offer. But we have a different future in mind. The globalists can all go to hell, I have come to Texas.”
Orban’s speech came weeks after he drew heavy criticism from civil-rights groups, Holocaust survivors and even members of his own inner circle after denouncing race-mixing and making light of the systemic killing of Jews and other groups deemed “undesirable” by Nazi Germany during World War II.
