The baseless remarks made about Muslims by the embattled US Ambassador to the Netherlands Peter Hoekstra and his subsequent apology over the comments underscores the “duplicity” of US politicians, who cannot be believed or trusted, says an American political analyst.

Hoekstra apologized Friday for making unsubstantiated anti-Muslim claims at a conference in 2015 hosted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center, a US-based right-wing hate group.

“Like all such apologies made after the fact they lack sincerity and are merely a means to evade responsibility for egregious conduct by the perpetrator,” said Dennis Etler, a former professor of Anthropology at Cabrillo College in Aptos, California.

“This is a common practice of US politicians and celebrities,” Etler told Press TV on Sunday.

“Be it adulterous politicians, pedophile priests, or sexually abusive celebrities, they are always sorry for their words and actions only after they’ve been made public,” he added. “They always persist in their behavior up until they are found out. It can be concluded that their apologies are a mere matter of convenience to avoid accountability.” PressTV-US envoy to Netherlands admits to anti-Muslim comments A new US ambassador to the Netherlands has admitted to making anti-Mulsim comments in 2015 that Muslim youths had created so-called "no-go" zones in the country and were burning politicians.

On Friday, Hoekstra admitted making anti-Muslim comments in 2015. In an interview with the Dutch newspaper Telegraaf, Hoekstra apologized for the remarks he made over two years ago.

Speaking at the David Horowitz Freedom Center that year, Hoekstra referred to Muslim refugees as “invaders” and suggested that Muslim immigrants were burning cars and politicians in the Netherlands.

He also repeated a baseless theory about so-called “no-go zones” that is popular in right-wing media.

Before Hoekstra’s arrival in The Hague in January, he told a Dutch journalist in Washington that he had never made the statements and that they were “fake news.”

The story that emerged coincides with US President Donald Trump’s latest comments about immigrants and his alleged derogatory remarks about certain nations, which he described as “shithole countries.”

“Like his mentor Trump, Hoekstra wears duplicity as a badge of honor. Nothing that they say can be believed or taken at face value. They lie through their teeth and talk with forked tongue,” Etler said.

“This has been the modus operandi of European colonialists and imperialists ever since the Americas, the Middle East, Africa and Asia were invaded and occupied. In other words they are not to be believed or trusted,” he concluded.

Hoekstra, 64, served as the US Representative for Michigan's 2nd congressional district from 1993 to 2011. He was born in the Netherlands and moved to the United States at age 3.

A former Republican congressman for Michigan, Hoekstra served as a national security adviser for Trump during last year’s presidential election campaign.


Poster Comment:

US politicians, who cannot be believed or trusted..."

Who would have thought!

Actually national politicians can be trusted to look after Israel's security since it was the Israeli lobby and associates who got them elected through campaign organization and funding. Were any to renege or fail Jew media would "dig" up some past indiscretion and hound them out of office if not get them in jail.

You say the Jews are responsible for most of America's ills and I don't completely disagree because there's much evidence to support a disproportionate amount of Jewish influence in America. At the same time I might point the finger at the Goyim that continue to pay FEDERAL (RESERVE BANK) TAXES that fund and at the same time demonstrate an ideological SUPPORT for a government that you say is run by Jews.

Utilizing Jewish interests such as banks, newspapers, televised media, and other such industries makes most Americans complicit in their own demise and the mass murder of innocent people world wide.

Vast majority of voters see it as a patriotic duty to vote Democrat or Republican. Little do they know that their candidate has been pre-selected and co-opted by Israeli lobby associates to serve Israeli interests, all paid for by American taxpayers.
