The funny thing is that Hoekstra isn't even a native born American... [View all]

He was born in The Netherlands and immigrated to the states, just like my own Dutch born American citizen wife.

However, that's where the two cease being alike.

My wife, a woman of Dutch-Indonesian heritage, would never in a million years think of using another Asian-American woman as a tool for a racist political ad.

Unfortunately, sometime during Hoektra's life as an American, he decided that such a thing would be a great idea.

Between you and me, I have a feeling that the Dutch kicked his family out of Holland for being asses.
