(Video: Pete Hoekstra tries to explain his vote for the Wall Street Bailout)

Pete Hoekstra has always served the interests of Wall Street. He voted in favor of the Wall Street Bailout and even supported letting bailed out banks handout taxpayer-funded bonuses for CEOs.

Now Pete Hoekstra claims he is a “reformer” but his “reforms” look an awful lot like the policies that caused the financial collapse and the bailouts in the first place.

Check out his record of coddling Wall Street:
