Warning, my Twitter account with 1.2 million followers was hacked and linked to an email list that is not mine. In the meantime, I cannot log on to my account and the automated response says it can take days or longer for Twitter to react. In the meantime, the hackers are already posting fraudulent posts about fundraising for St. Jude's. Another thing for Elon Musk to fix.

NBC News traveled to Hungary to dig deeper into Gorka's ties with the group, speaking with members of the organization, as well as with locals who knew him when he lived there. Well, I guess it's make Hungary great again, right?

Donald Trump admires Hungary. Viktor Orban, the authoritarian leader of Hungary, whose entire GDP is under $200 billion a year. That's less than some major American corporations make. As Carol Schaefer says, yes, Sebastian Gorka is part of the Order of the Vitezi, an homage to the Hungarian nationalist group active from 1920 to 1944, whose leadership eagerly aided Adolf Eichmann in sending 400,000 Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz.
