Trump’s Netherlands ambassador in big trouble

[Political Junky]

Typical con ignorance or a con liar? Dutch press confronted him on his lies.

Trump’s Netherlands ambassador was asked to name a person ‘burned’ because of Islam. He couldn’t.
America’s new ambassador for the Netherlands is being called out...

Dutch journalists peppered Hoekstra, who was tapped by Trump for the ambassadorship after 18 years as a Republican congressman from Michigan, with questions on unsubstantiated claims he made in 2015 about the chaos the “Islamic movement” had brought to the Netherlands.

“There are cars being burned, there are politicians that are being burned,” he had said at a conference hosted by a conservative group. “And yes, there are no-go zones in the Netherlands.”

So video evidence of barbarian Muslims burning shit down isn’t proof because the authorities never capture them to make arrests?

From the article:

[Pete Hoekstra, the former Michigan congressman,] said the "Islamic movement" has sent Europe into "chaos," adding that cars and politicians were being burned inside the Netherlands...[Following the ceremony whereat he presented his credentials to Netherlands' king,] America's ambassador to the Netherlands, a reporter asked him, "Would you please take back your remark about burned politicians, or name a politician that was burned in the Netherlands." Hoekstra seemed to think he could stare blankly at reporters and simply not answer, but they let him know that wasn't acceptable in their country.

Wow! It takes profound sums of termity to go to a foreign country and stand on, rather than recanting, one's misrepresentations of goings on in their country.

I know that ill mannered Trump and his Trumpkins don't like that temperament is an important factor in interactions among principals, particularly high ranking state officials, but it is. That it is is why populist leaders and movements have comparatively short tenures.

He was nailed on day one and denied saying those things. Its an insult to the Dutch to have him there.

However the no go zones are a huge part of the anti muslim beliefs of the lower intelligence types. It amazes me how people who dont even on a passport are "experts" on European society.

You could laugh at stupidity but its not funny at all.
