Mediaite reports:
Tucker Carlson told a crowd in Budapest that the current American leadership hates both Hungary and Russia because they are Christian countries, and is punishing them for it.
Speaking at MCC Feszt in Budapest, Hungary on Friday, Carlson said that the “people who run” the United States right now are “dangerous and insane,” and it can be seen in the way they treat Hungary even though it is “not exporting their views to anybody else.”
“They hate Hungary. And they hate it not because of what it’s done, but because of what it is. It’s a Christian country and they hate that. And that’s the truth. And nobody wants to say it, but it’s true. That is exactly why they hate Russia.”

No one hates Russia because it’s Christian. That’s amazingly stupid. https://t.co/KQrfZEwHHf

Also, if Russia was a state it would have the highest abortion rate in the country (roughly TWICE first-place New Jersey). If Hungary was a state, it would merely have about the fourth highest abortion rate in the U.S. https://t.co/h1zsmvULOb

Hungary is less Christian than any U.S. state. What nationalists like Tucker mean is that Hungary’s government is more Christian that the American government.
The government is the only actor in the one-man nationalist ideological play. https://t.co/eaLFrhOR63

A few years ago, Russia criminalized missionary work & evangelizing outside of the church. People have landed in jail for merely discussing their Christian faith in public. Tucker hopes you’re stupid. https://t.co/g4rp0Mh9ou https://t.co/uGtz3mAoNH
