A U.S. Ambassador Finds Himself on Hostile Ground in Hungary

BUDAPEST — David Pressman, a gay human rights lawyer, knew he was in for a rough time even before he arrived in Hungary with his husband and two children to take up a new job in September as the United States’ ambassador to Europe’s self-declared citadel of traditional Christian values and friend of the Kremlin.

As his confirmation hearing began in July in Washington, a rubber dinghy carrying a warning appeared on the Danube River near the U.S. Embassy in Budapest. On a black banner emblazoned with a skull and crossbones was an anti-L.G.B.T.Q. message in English and Hungarian: “Mr. Pressman, don’t colonize Hungary with your cult of death.”

Mr. Pressman hung a photograph of that “welcome to Hungary” message on the wall behind his embassy desk. “That,” he lamented, “was before I ever stepped foot in this country.”

And it has been pretty much downhill ever since.

Other countries and cultures do not put up with the down-your-throat-ij-your-face stuff Americans are forced to put up with.

[Levy78]

Yeah … they don’t like faggots in Hungary.

What sick pervert sends another sick pervert to an anti-queer country?

Did these losers learn nothing from the queer Christopher Stevens murder in Benghazi?

[BenLurkin]

Nobody wants to shake his hand.

[Sam Gamgee]

Sounds uphill to me. Diplomats are already despicable creatures without the bonus of a gay family.

[Ex-Episcopalian]

Why did Hungary accept his credentials? rhetorical question.

[Ex gun maker.]

Awww, poor baby.
He should resign and let a man take the job.

This appointment was a direct “in-your-face” to Hungary. That is childish behavior, and is not what a serious Nation does. Hungary should reject his posting. The host country is under no obligation to accept the admittance of another country’s ambassador. Send him packing back to D.C.

Why would Biden send someone who was so offensive to another country?

[Ex gun maker.]

Excellent question!
They should never have let it in.

“Why did Hungary accept his credentials? rhetorical question.”

Hungary could have nipped this in the bud by not accepting them.

[ought-six]

“Why would Biden send someone who was so offensive to another country?”

As I said in a previous post: It is a childish “in-your-face” to Hungary.

[Organic Panic]

One country I wouldn’t mind immigrating to.

[Ex gun maker.]

Well, Bidet’ is offensive to Americans too.
He’s both incompetent and an insane degenerate determined to spread his mental illness.

[Leaning Right]

Hungary is not “a friend of the Kremlin“. Russians are not particularly liked there. However, Hungary does what’s best for Hungary. They will not mindlessly follow the EU and NATO.

I guess The NY Times doesn’t like that, and so is attempting a smear.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Our consulate in Hungary is one big azzed building. And don’t bother going there, they aren’t interested in helping you. I went there for some visa information and they wouldn’t even let me in the door. Useless co*ksu**ers.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Better carry pHisoHex industrial strength hand sanatizer:

CMON MAN. Fakehatecrimes.org

[dynachrome]

Should have appointed him to saudi arabia.

WOW! What a great job for a pedophile. He gets to abuse children with diplomatic immunity. How sick is that?
