      Have you met a Republican?

      Did it seem to you like they had enough grey matter to experience a complex emotion like shame?

      He’s the former Prime Minister of Hungary, nationalist and pro-Russia. AFAIK he’s has always been a stick in the wheel of Europe when it came to helping Ukraine. He’s been PM for 16 years but recently lost the last election against a more pro-Europe party.

      The sentence is a bit weird, but from the article

      The newspaper commented that while there were several reasons to object Orbán as an apologist for Russian President Vladimir Putin and others, as he is “the dream MAGA-conservative candidate,” due to his track record of blocking “mass migration, liberal NGOs, and Hungary’s left-leaning courts and press.”

      In short, he’s a slimy POS, just like Trump.

      Orban was the right-wing hardliner president of Hungary until he got finally voted out earlier this year. He ran something akin to a dictatorship and violently suppressed dissent and demonstrations.
