I'm fairly gobsmacked by the number of people who profess surprise that Orbán was funding CPAC. Did you know of his ties to Heritage and Project 2025? One of the most telling, tho, was he funded Rufo and the racist Trump tried to install at State, Jeremy Carl. https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/contracts-between-hungarian-nonprofit-and-christopher-rufo-others-raise-foreign-agent/
