Dean Obeidallah tore Rep. Pete Hoekstra a new one, concerning immigration, on Morning Joy

[Siwsan]

And Hoekstra (R Michigan 2nd district) remains in his usual state of denial. Dean pointed out that Hoekstra, himself, is an immigrant so how can he defend a candidate who is so anti-immigration.

Of course, Hoekstra's family is from the Netherlands so no doubt Trump would be fine letting them in.

1. The only thing I disagreed with that Dean Obeidallah said

is when he said that he knew Pete Hoekstra wasn't one of the racist Trump people, and that he didn't have hate in his heart.

I'm not so sure about that...

2. Considering the location of Hoekstra's district is in about the reddest district in Michigan...

I have zero doubt that he is.

5. Yep...

We don't need to hear him say, "I'm racist" to know that he is, indeed, racist.

3. "wasn't one of the racist Trump people, and that he didn't have hate in his heart."

Does he have an r by his name?... Then yes. He is, and yes. He does. It's a given.

4. I agree.

Now that everyone knows that white nationalism and Trump's name are interchangeable, there's absolutely no excuse for supporting him – and that includes every single Republican who's too much of a coward to denounce him.

6. He's my congressperson! Ugh!

Fucking lunatic Dutch Reformed Calvanist! They're all over the place in west MI. The headquarters is in Grand Rapids, where half the damned town is named after DeVoss (fucking AmWay) and rolls up the sidewalks on Sunday.
