Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s pro-Iranian Hungarian friends February 1, 2017 5:51 pm·Republican Congresswoman from Tennessee Marsha Blackburn is pleased with President Trump’s executive order to bar Syrian refugees and block citizens of seven countries, among them Iran, from entering the US.Rep. Blackburn considers Iran an enemy of the United States and two years ago she expressed strong concerns over Barack Obama’s Iran nuclear deal. She wrote that the Iranians were untrustworthy: “Iranians were chanting ‘Down with America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ as they celebrated Al-Quds day. How can we possibly trust them to act in good faith?” (Read Blackburn’s press release here.)Ms. Blackburn is close to the Trump family, especially to the President’s daughter, Ivanka, and was a member of the President-elect’s transition team. Hungary’s Ambassador to Washington, Réka Szemerkényi, saw the opportunity and befriended Ms. Blackburn in order to charm the influential congresswoman to lobby for a highly coveted White House invitation for Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Authoritarian Orbán was persona non grata at the Obama White House and is upset that he has never received an official invitation to Washington.Viktor Orbán, Hungarian Prime Minister with Iran’s President, Hassan Rouhani.Continued: http://hungarianfreepress.com/2017/02/01/rep-marsha-blackburns-pro-iranian-hungarian-friends/
