This guy is a diplomat?

Witnesses say they saw U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra launch into an expletive-laden tirade at Ontario’s trade representative, David Paterson.

One witness said Hoekstra appeared to be upset about the anti-tariff ad that the province recently ran on television in the U.S., which has infuriated President Donald Trump. The witness said Hoesktra could be heard using the F-word and also mentioned Ontario Premier Doug Ford by name.

3. Ugly 'murica strikes again.

In a semi-functional society Hoekstra would be recalled and publicly defrocked.
