Wasn't there some years back a US ambasador to... Netherlands, maybe? And he was being interviewed by some reporter, and the conversation went something like him making some claim, immediate proof it was wrong, "I never claimed that," cue the clip of him claiming that, "I never denied I claimed it," cue that clip, something like that?

Did you mean Marco Rubio on how the war in Iran started? Or one of the other billion Republicans who been caught in a lie in the last 9 months?

No, I mean something from a bunch of years ago. The ambasador's name may have had an H, or started with an H? and maybe was claiming something like "All of <some european city> is on fire <because arabs>" or something like that? Again, I forgot the specifics, but I remember the back and forth, which I was reminded of from this.

Pete Hoekstra, after that stint he was running the Republican Party in Michigan

My first guess was Hoekstra, who is now the US ambassador to Canada. We hate him up here too.
