A few years back, we noted how Chuck Norris struck up a “bromance” (a word he has accepted as a good description) with authoritarian Hungarian dictator Viktor Orban, riding around Budapest with him and gushing over Orban’s irrational hatred of George Soros. Well, Orban came to the U.S. last month and there was some name-dropping and more bromancing, and WorldNetDaily was there for it in an Aug. 6 article by Bob Unruh:
Longtime action movie and “Walker Texas Ranger” star Chuck Norris, a longtime WND columnist, says he’d be happy to work with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for “that better future.”
Norris’ comment came on Friday in response to Orban’s message to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Texas that America needs now “more Chuck Norris.”
Orban, a firebrand who frequently has triggered liberals and progressives over and over with his comments, got a hero’s welcome at the CPAC events and pleaded with his audience not to pull punches in a culture war – going on globally – with liberals.
In America, under Joe Biden, that fight has erupted over and over with the president’s blatant promotion of abortion, the LGBT ideology, progressive government priorities like massive spending and more.
Orban explained that Hungarian state institutions define marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and he said Americans in the fight need to trust their Judeo-Christian tradition.
“We have to be brave enough to address even the most sensitive questions, migration, gender and the clash of civilizations,” he said.
His election victories – four in a row – have shown that his perspective is appreciated in his home country, and he lobbied for the same in America.
Actually, Orban wins because he rigged elections in Hungary to make sure that he does, and he also suppresses political opposition to make sure criticism of him never finds a large audience. Then it was bromance time again:
Norris, to WND, issued a statement that, “In 2018, my wife Gena and I were invited by Hungarian Baptist Aid to visit Budapest. We love the Hungarian people and were honored to spend time with Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
“We heard he fired up conservative Texans at CPAC in Dallas this week by saying America needs ‘more Chuck Norris.’ I’m humbled and honored to fight with Orban and all conservatives to rebuild America (presently and in 2024 with a new president) from the depression (in economy and spirit) too many Americans are experiencing right now. Let’s pray and fight for that better future! We’ve done it before, and we can do it again!”
Unruh, for his part, was eager to dismiss the most recent controversy surrounding Orban:
Some of Orban’s comments have, in fact, raised controversy in recent months, including his statement about Hungary not becoming a “mixed race country.”
But President Trump said he and Orban had had good discussions on various issues just recently.
“Great spending time with my friend, Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary,” Trump said. “We discussed many interesting topics – few people know as much about what is going on today.”
Of course, the first event has nothing whatsoever to do with the second. And Unruh did not mention the obvious racism of Orban’s “mixed race” comment. Good to see that WND is as cool with white nationalism as usual — as is Norris, apparently.
