This asshole Pete Hoekstra was the ambassador to the netherlands in the first term of this president, after leaving his post as US rep for West Michigan's Holland area, an area that votes nearly 70% republican.

He made a comment about no go zones for whites, that the immigrants were burning cars, burning politicians, while ambassadoring in Denmark. They called him on it, and he first lied, calling it fake news, they showed the video of him saying that, and he just froze up while being questioned by reporters, that were all like you have to answer that's not how we do it here...

It's fucking hilarious, this guy is a stupid prick.

I know, axel springer are a bunch of nazi bootlickers.

Nevertheless, they do some reporting. The Intercept just shared one of their links in one of their articles I would add.

Is there a way to share the information through a service that denies politico the traffic on their site? I know people do that with the twatter.
