Bunker Bonus: How Victor Orbán is manipulating Tucker Carlson’s Hungary obsession

One of Tucker Carlson’s recent interviews is with Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán. In the interview Orbán called for Trump to return to the U.S. presidency, among numerous other inflammatory statements. Why is Tucker so obsessed with Hungarian politics – and how does Orbán use the media to bolster his narrative? Chris Jones is joined by journalist for 24.HU, Zsolt Kerner. “It’s ironic to see Orbán, who often says other nations shouldn’t comment on domestic politics, calling for a change in U.S. President” – Zsolt Kerner “It’s a usual play in hungarian politics, to play with preconceptions about the U.S.” – Zsolt Kerner www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written, presented and produced by Chris Jones, with special thanks to Balint Bardi.
