Premier Doug Ford says U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra should apologize to Ontario's trade representative over a reported expletive-laden tirade.
Look up interviews the did with ditch journalists, there are 2 different ones, one more hilarious than the next.
He literally gets asked about comments he made that in the Netherlands politicians were being burned alive and he denies ever saying that.
Then the journalist says that they have that on video tape , why would he deny it?
Then Hoekstra bites back “I didn’t deny saying that, that is what we call fake news” even though he literally denied in 20 seconds prior. The wtf face the journalist makes to his camera guy is epic
Then later there is a question / answer session with Dutch journalists (I believe in the US embassy in the Netherlands) and he gets the same question again first. He says he won’t answer, next journalist! And the next journalist asks again the same question. Then when Hoekstra tries to skip that journalist, they all basically protest, with one saying “sir you’re in the Netherlands, here you answer to the journalists!”.
Hoekstra then just stops talking, trying to appear nonchalant while he wipes his finger over the frame of a painting to judge it dirty or something
Hoekstra is a disgrace wherever he is
