@ Nieuwsuur to new US ambassador: "You mentioned [..] that there are no go-zones in the Netherlands and that cars and politicians are set on fire."
Pete Hoekstra: "I didn't say that. That's actually an incorrect statement [..] fake news."
Hmm, let's have a look at the footage 
No-go zones are not a real threat to Europe
There’s a popular right-wing narrative about the alleged spread of violent, Islamist-controlled “no-go zones” in cities in Western Europe where even police are afraid to go. It’s used to illustrate the notion that Western Europe — and, by extension, white Christian civilization — is being invaded and corrupted by radical Muslim immigrants.
But while there are high-crime areas in Europe that are predominantly Muslim, there is no evidence that European governments are actually ceding territory to Islamists controlling Muslim-only enclaves.
Hoekstra has long peddled this false narrative. The clip the journalist shows him features Hoekstra speaking on a panel at a conference sponsored at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, a far-right think tank, in 2015. And in that clip, Hoekstra is saying exactly what the journalist accused him of:
The Islamic movement has now gotten to a point where they have put Europe into chaos — chaos in the Netherlands, there are cars being burned, there are politicians that are being burned.
[...]
And yes, there are no-go zones in the Netherlands.
Trump’s nomination of Hoekstra over the summer caused a great deal of controversy in the Dutch press due to his ultra-conservative record on issues like gay rights and immigration .
Hoekstra’s early misstep doesn’t bode well for his time in the Netherlands — it shouldn’t be so easy to tell when a diplomat isn’t telling truth.
Like leader, like lackey.
We have now have an actively anti-Muslim presidential administration.
I'm sure that will promote world peace.
nothing brings peace faster than a sound butt kicking.
do not believe me?
when was the last time japan attacked us? hint: the days before we nuked them. but not since.
that is really not what this seed is about
But it's exactly what a poorly educated bully believes. They love picking on the smart kids calling them "elitist" even though the smart kid is destined to own the company that the bully will one day get rejected by because he didn't apply himself in school and felt a punch in the nose was all he had to do to prove his worth. That's why they love Trump so much, he's the epitome of the ignorant bully who doesn't care about knowledge or facts, they just bully people to get what they want. Look at most of Trumps cabinet picks and judicial nominees, completely unqualified for the jobs they are appointed to and have little to no experience.

damn video!
The ambassador acted like a Trump mini-me. He lied about something everyone knew he had said. And continued to lie after he got caught. Maybe they have a handbook with instructions for this stuff that they pass out to you when you get an administration job.

I know, right? What a piece of crap-a-doodle with his indignant denial, which by the way, complimented the stupid look on his face when he realized he was busted. And the look on the correspondent's face when he turned to look at the camera...
I wonder if people like Hoekstra understand "reality". For them, the world, past-present-future, is what they want it to be. In Hoekstra's "reality", he didn't say "fake news". In Trump's reality, the inauguration crowd was the largest ever.
We see this here on NT, where some members say stuff that's just plain false, apparently believing every word.
