YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Hungary’s new prime minister just blew up a funding pipeline that was sending taxpayer money into CPAC. Viktor Orbán’s government was using public funds to bankroll a major American conservative political organization, and CPAC’s response wasn’t a denial. Instead of addressing the accusation, Matt Schlapp thanked Hungary like nothing happened. Under U.S. law, coordinating with or taking direction from foreign governments triggers serious legal requirements, and this situation raises real questions about whether those lines were crossed. The same people who scream about foreign interference are now being tied to it. Ring of Fire's Josh G. explains.
