FAKE CADS NEWS

The New US Ambassador of Fake News

After being shown the clip, Hoekstra was asked to explain his previous “fake news” comment.

“I didn’t call that fake news. I didn’t use the words today,” Hoekstra said. “I don’t think I did.”

Hoekstra, who was born in the Dutch city of Groningen, served as Trump’s campaign manager in Michigan, and previously served as chair of the House intelligence committee.

Hoekstra made the comments during a speech at a conference organised by the right-wing David Horowitz Freedom Center in 2015, which has donated over €150,000 to Dutch anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders.

U.S. ambassador to Netherlands

calls his own remarks about Muslim no-go zones ‘fake news’

U.S. President Donald Trump‘s pick for ambassador to the Netherlands has been left red-faced after he vehemently denied ever making comments about Islamist “no-go zones” in the Netherlands, calling it “fake news,” before struggling to explain a video clip showing him saying exactly that.

Pete Hoekstra, who takes up his position in January, was being interviewed for Dutch current affairs show Niewsuur when he was asked to explain his past remarks about cars and politicians being set on fire in the Netherlands and the

sprouting up of Muslim no-go zones.

“I didn’t say that,” Hoekstra swiftly replied. “That is actually an incorrect statement. We would call it fake news. I never said that.”

The reporter then showed Hoekstra a video of him speaking at an event organized by the conservative David Horowitz Freedom Center in 2015.

“The Islamic movement has now gotten to a point where they have put Europe into chaos,” Hoekstra says in the clip:

“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.”

See you for lunch the Industrieele Groot Club on Fri 19th Jan 2018

Last month, the Jokathon saw us return to the Barbizon Palace for an excellent lunch and a successful Jokathon.

We welcomed a new winner in Jeremiah Fleming, who blew the competition away with jokes about Alabama and Trump, receiving a bottle of wine and the CADS trophy. Runners up were Mark Cunningham, John Donnelly and John Richardson; Anike Cameron-Webb won a bottle of wine for her seasonal dress, and Benno received a bottle for introducing a new member.

On the morning of January 17th, I plan to appear in court in

Amsterdam together with others, to progress a legal suit clarifying the rights of UK citizens in the EU

’s We have a treat for you this month. Our new UK ambassador,

Peter Wilson, will address us over lunch at the Koninglijke Industrieele Groot Club on Friday 19th. Ambassador Wilson has the task of growing

the trade relationship with The Netherlands during Brexit, and we look forward to advice on how to achieve it. All seats are now reserved. We meet in the bar from 1200 onwards. Note you need cash in the bar, as cards are not accepted!

after Brexit. CADS and I will be represented in this case by a Dutch law firm and a British QC. The court address is Parnassusweg 220, 1076 AV Amsterdam, and all CADS members are encouraged to attend, from 0930 onwards.

As ever the CADS lunch will be “a cultivated digression from the politics of the office; a sunny terrace in the crude storm of the everyday.” (John Richardson book of quotes).

What do you think of my new fake

smile?
