The Open Society Foundations, a group founded by George Soros, is pushing back on a recent documentary by Tucker Carlson taking aim at Soros and his relationship with his homeland of Hungary,The Washington Post reports.
Carlson's "Hungary vs. Soros: The Fight for Civilization," which was created for the Fox Nation streaming service, pits Soros against Hungarian right-wing prime minister Viktor Orbán.
Carlson says that Soros, a liberal billionaire whose Open Society Foundations says it aims to improve democracies and make governments accountable, "is waging a kind of war - political, social and demographic war - on the West."
The Fox host asserts that the group is "trying to eliminate national borders, to oust democratically elected leaders, and install ideologically aligned puppets into positions of power."

George Soros-founded group challenges Tucker Carlson documentary as anti-American propaganda
A pro-democracy group founded by George Soros is pushing back against claims made about the Hungarian American billionaire in a new Tucker Carlson documentary and taking sharp aim at the Fox News host for what the organization sees as a naively glorifying portrait of Hungarys prime minister, Viktor Orban.
Hungary vs. Soros: The Fight for Civilization, the latest in a series of Carlsons provocative documentaries for the Fox Nation streaming service, sides with Orban in his long-running antagonism of Soros, whom the right-wing, anti-immigration prime minister has branded as a meddlesome force in Hungarian politics.
Carlson, who spoke glowingly of Orbans leadership in a visit to the country last summer, offers an even heartier endorsement in the new film, which began streaming on Wednesday.
Orban has been in politics for 30 years, but he seems surprisingly normal, Carlson tells viewers about the populist politician, whom he lauds for trying to boost the nations shrinking population with incentives for growing families. He often drives himself to work. He has dinner in Budapest without security. Every Thursday, he spends the day reading.

So Carlson loves him some Fascism.

It isn't "naively". They know exactly what he is and that is why they like him.
