To Hoekstra is to whine using grandiose exaggerations and comparisons.
It all started with a simple, foolish tweet. On June 17th, GOP Congressman Pete Hoekstra compared the life and death struggle of Iranians trying to get their message out via Twitter to the Republican Party’s tussle with Democrats. His exact tweet was “Iranian twitter activity similar to what we did in House last year when Republicans were shut down in the House.” In short order, twitter users began satirizing Hoekstra’s tweet, comparing mundane activities with more epic, grandiose events.
And that’s how the Hoekstra meme was born.
The website Pete Hoekstra is a Meme has been created and started making image macros of several of the tweets people have made.
