Why is Pete Hoekstra still the ambassador to Canada? Canadians should write to whoever it is they elect that Hoekstra should've been sent home the hour he was appointed.

That dipshit has previously said that the Netherlands had regions where the police don't go and where politicians are set on fire. And then was appointed the ambassador to said Netherlands and discovered that Dutch journalists don't allow him to “not revisit” the question of which regions those are. Well, somehow he's not the ambassador to the Netherlands anymore.

P.S. Turns out this scumbag was born in the Netherlands, and still talked wild shit about the country.

I wish we would send this guy home.

The US can choose their ambassadors, and we can choose to decline them.

“The headline alone – comparing American athletes to monkeys in a zoo – is demeaning…

The Globe sent Mr. Hoekstra’s office a series of questions on Tuesday, including what consequences he envisioned if The Globe does not publish an apology, and when the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa had last requested an apology from a Canadian media outlet.

Fucking lol

Didn’t Trump make a video of the Obama as monkeys?

Didn’t he just make multiple AI videos shitting on is for losing a hockey game?

Hoekstra can go suck a fuck.

The ability to enforce double standards based on political affiliation is a big feature of fascist governments.

I really like their response. Between the lines, it's basically "the audacity of this whiny little bitch..."

[–] L_N@piefed.ca 12 points 12 hours ago

Fuck this guy, seriously

[–] sveltecider@lemmy.ca 20 points 14 hours ago

How about you go fuck yourself

Hoekstra = jerk. Let him talk.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago

Or, make him persona non-gratta and let the US find someone less dipshitty to replace him.
