Yes, I've heard the "he was brainwashed" bit, but I don't believe it. Brainwashing implies a loss of memory, identity, or free will, and near as I can tell he still has all three. He's not the Winter Soldier. He's a man who seems to be in control of his faculties and chooses to be Pure Evil. Nothing I've seen or heard contradicts that notion. Being raised from childhood to believe certain things doesn't preclude it either, because Darth Zannah was raised from childhood by Bane to believe in the ways of the Sith, and she is wholly evil. Edwin Epps (presumably), was raised from childhood to believe it was okay to enslave black people, and he's Pure Evil. I don't see why Hux can't or shouldn't qualify.
