Maddow: Trump’s fear is palpable as authoritarian peer Orbán is resoundingly rejected in Hungary

Rachel Maddow highlights some striking parallels between Donald Trump and the authoritarian regime his administration is modeled on, Victor Orbán in Hungary. Maddow notes that the basis for an authoritarian's power is the sense that their continued rule is inevitable, so seeing Orbán tossed from power so handily by the voters of Hungary sends a clear and upsetting message to Trump, and an encouraging message to Trump's opponents.

David Pressman, former U.S. ambassador to Hungary, joins to discuss how Hungary will "unwind" the legacy of corruption and authoritarianism left behind by Victor Orbán and restore democracy.

Rachel Maddow tells the story of an ICE prison in Mesa, Arizona that would move immigrants out of the facility ahead of congressional oversight visits to conceal overcrowded conditions ...until members of Congress dropped in unannounced. Rep. Analita Grijalva talks about what she saw on a surprise inspection of the facility.
