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
Knew I would see this image on this post.
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.
Rules for thee not for me
“The headline alone – comparing American athletes to monkeys in a zoo – is demeaning…
OH FUCKING IS IT NOW!?
Mister Ambassador, go fuck yourself
👆
Yeah how about a fucking no?
How about you go fuck yourself
I wish we would send this guy home.
The US can choose their ambassadors, and we can choose to decline them.
Fuck this guy, seriously
I really like their response. Between the lines, it's basically "the audacity of this whiny little bitch..."
Last term the Dutch hated him.
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.
Also:
NOS U.S. correspondent Wouter Zwart questioned Hoekstra about inaccurate claims that he had made in November 2015 at a panel titled "Muslim Migration into Europe: Eurabia come True?" hosted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center that the Netherlands had "no-go zones" and that politicians and cars were being set on fire in the country due to radical Islam. Hoekstra told Zwart that he had never said such things, saying, "we would call it fake news. I never said that." Zwart then played the clip in which he made those remarks for his viewers. Later in the interview, Hoekstra denied that he denied it, saying "I didn't call it 'fake news'. I didn't use those words today."
P.S. Turns out this scumbag was born in the Netherlands, and still talked wild shit about the country.
Hoekstra = jerk. Let him talk.
Or, make him persona non-gratta and let the US find someone less dipshitty to replace him.
