Tucker Carlson Attacks Biden’s Sexual Imperialism in Hungary

By

BUDAPEST, September 1 (C-Fam) Conservative television pundit Tucker Carlson called the current U.S. ambassador to Hungary a “creep” and an embarrassment for exporting the LGBT agenda to Hungary. Carlson, who recently left the most popular program on Fox News and is planning to start his own news/opinion platform, said the left’s sexual politics were a form of “tyranny.”

“I’m not in the habit of apologizing for my country, in fact, I think I never have, but the behavior of the U.S. Ambassador to Hungary, makes me want to apologize. It’s disgusting and inexcusable,” Carlson said to loud applause at a public meeting in Budapest.

Carlson was commenting on the controversial interventions of David Pressman, the current U.S. Ambassador to Hungary, to promote homosexual and transgender issues in the largely conservative Central European state. Pressman’s LGBT extremism did not represent the views of the American people, Carlson said, but of interest groups like the Human Rights Campaign.

He likened U.S. diplomacy on transgender and homosexual issues to Soviet totalitarianism. “The Soviets said you had to worship Lenin; the U.S. State Department tells you now you have to worship transvestites. It’s not so different.  It’s a foreign power pushing its weird boutique religion on you,” he explained.

Above all he said these efforts were wasteful and ineffective and undermined U.S. leadership and democracy. “The point of diplomacy is not to hector other nations,” he said. “It’s not the business of the U.S. government to criticize what you believe. It’s not our job to tear down and assault your culture. It’s the job of our diplomats to win you to our side, not to enrage you for no reason.”

“I don’t think that’s ever happened before. I don’t think it’s happened in my lifetime. Nobody from the State Department could get away with it [in the past]. He would be recalled immediately, scolded and fired as David Pressman should be,” he emphasized.

Carlson said the U.S. State Department has singled out Hungary as a radical right-wing government simply because it’s government overtly identified the nation as Christian, “Not a theocracy” he specified, “but a Christian country.”

Carlson was hopeful that these trends in U.S. politics would blow over eventually. “You cannot run a global empire based on the imposition of boutique sexual politics on countries that don’t want them,” he explained.

Carlson is not alone among American conservatives who have criticized the Biden administration for its treatment of this largely Christian country in Central Europe. On his Substack a week ago, popular author Rod Dreher wrote, “I’ve been over here long enough to see what Biden is doing to Hungary… over the fact that the Hungarians — you know, the monsters who floated a giant lighted cross over the Danube on their national holiday — passed a law forbidding the same propagandization for LGBT to children that the Biden Administration defends as a holy catechism.”

Dreher, who relocated to Hungary from the United States many months ago, said, “The United States of America is putting the screws to a small Central European country because it won’t take orders from the U.S. on everything. The U.S. is trying to fund a Color Revolution in a NATO ally, a democracy that has free and fair elections that are won, over and over, by a party that Washington does not like.”
