Knowles especially voiced his support for Orban after the 2018 reelection. He harshly criticized the Western media’s negative portrayals of Hungary and stressed that Hungarians exercised their right to democratically elect their leaders.

From Atheist to Catholic – An Intellectual Journey Back to Faith

Knowles turned away from religion in his youth, but during his studies at Yale – influenced by philosophical works such as Alvin Plantinga’s modal ontological argument – he found his way back to faith and is now a committed Catholic.

he said about rediscovering his faith.

Transgenderism Must Go

Knowles has visited Budapest several times, including for the 2023 CPAC conference, where he declared:

"Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.”

The statement was met with enthusiastic applause at the conference, but mainstream media labeled it “hate speech” and “genocidal rhetoric.”
