When a politician is trying to tell people he’s the exact opposite of what he really is, that’s an all out hoax–and politician Pete Hoekstra is trying to perpetrate an incredible Hoax on the people of Michigan.
Who is Pete Hoekstra? It’s tough to say. Currently, he’s working at a Washington lobbying firm. Before that, he spent nearly two decades in Washington as a Congressman.
Now Hoekstra says he’s running for US Senate–and says he’s running as a “reformer.” The reality: Hoekstra’s running away from his long record of cozying up to America’s most powerful special interests. Hoekstra supported the Wall Street bailout, and actually voted against putting any limits on the bonuses bailed out executives could pay themselves with taxpayer money. Hoekstra even said that if elected to the Senate, he’ll repeal the Wall Street reforms passed after the financial crisis that hold Wall Street accountable and stop taxpayer bailouts. No wonder- Hoekstra is also on the board of directors at a bank, and his lobbying firm represents all sorts of loaded special interests.
Now, Hoekstra is shamelessly trying to tell you he’s a reformer. But, in reality, that’s the Hoekstra Hoax, and here at HoekstraHoax.com, you can check the facts yourself. Because no matter how Pete “Hoax-tra” tries to cover up the facts, his real record is all right HERE.
