Government spokesman hits back at Hillary Clinton's criticism of British PM's rejection of Sargentini Report

Kovács said Clinton “represents Soros’s pro-immigration politics, and these are politics that were rejected at both the last Hungarian and American elections”

Hungary’s Government Spokesperson Zoltán Kovács has hit back at Hillary Clinton's criticism of British Prime Minister Theresa May over the Conservative Party’s rejection of the Sargentini Report.

“Hillary Clinton is a failed politician whose losing campaign was also financed by George Soros,” Kovács wrote on Twitter.

The spokesman made the comment following an article in British newspaper the Daily Mirror on Clinton’s criticism of May “for siding with far-right Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán”.

The paper wrote that the former first lady slammed May “for siding with a far-right leader who is accused of anti-Semitism and has called migrants ‘poison'”.

Clinton said the Tories had “come a long way from the party of Churchill” after their MEPs rejected the Sargentini Report in the European Parliament earlier this month.

Kovács added that Clinton “represents Soros’s pro-immigration politics, and these are politics that were rejected at both the last Hungarian and American elections”.
