Could only read the 1st paragraph, but I see it's good old Pete Hoekstra,, previously the ambassador to the Netherlands for the 1st admin. Former West Michigan Congressman from Holland, MI. Now ambassador to Canada for some god forsaken reason.

He made a comment about the netherlands having no go zones for white people, they are burning cars, burning politicians... Then when asked about it later lied and called it fake news, they were like we have you saying it on camera right here.

Later asking him about it he just stops talking, the journalists are like please sir that's not how we do it in the netherlands. Good stuff. Hoekstra is a dumb asshole, also a nazi but that goes without saying at this point.
