Elissa Slotkin went to Hungary to learn how to jail her opponents

BUDAPEST — Hungary under Prime Minister Péter Magyar has become such a blueprint for leftists’ schemes to persecute and jail opponents the minute they get power that Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin, the leading U.S. proponent of such Gestapo tactics, just got caught on hidden camera admitting she recently came here to take notes.

I came to Budapest for the launch of the book I co-authored with Katharine Gorka, NextGen Marxism. Its fourth translation in Europe, and the stubborn interest in it betrays apprehension about the resurgence of Marxism in the West. While here, I spoke to old friends who expressed consternation about Magyar’s scorched-earth campaign.
