That's what someone meddling in Hungarian elections would say.

“It’s unprecedented for an American vice-president to come the week before an election,” he said. But he said he had decided to come because of what he described as the “garbage happening against” Orbán in the election.

“We had to show that there are actually lots of friends across the world who recognise that Viktor and his government are doing a good job and they’re important partners for peace,” he said.

Vance insisted, however, that his efforts to bolster the lagging campaign of the rightwing, populist leader – whose “illiberal democracy” has long been seen as an inspiration for the Maga movement – did not constitute foreign interference. “I find it darkly ironic that people are accusing me of engaging in some kind of foreign influence,” he said.

No, that just is interference. The VP of another country flying in 4 days before an election to campaign for one of the candidates is about the clearest case of foreign election interference you could ever have.

Hope he looses. Don't give them a platform

The word "claims" in the headlines probably could use some scare quotes.

Why is the couch-fucker even in Hungary posing with Orban? Orban is the first domino to fall if/when the world lunches towards anti-authoritarianism.
