While His Twin Brother Jim Hoft, Founder of The Gateway Pundit, Awaits Heart Surgery In Another State
Jim Hoft, the founder and publisher of the Gateway Pundit, is currently in the hospital awaiting a much-needed surgery on his heart. Like Jim, his beloved twin brother, Joe Hoft, is a fearless patriot who loves America and fights every day to expose the truth behind the mainstream media’s lies. Joe is an international auditor, conservative talk show host, and founder of his own conservative news site, JoeHoft.com, and continues to be a contributor at the Gateway Pundit.
Last night, while making flight reservations from Florida to visit his twin brother Jim before his scheduled heart surgery this week, Joe Hoft suddenly began feeling lightheaded. He lay down, but quickly realized something far more serious was happening and called for help to get dressed.
While driving himself to the hospital, Joe’s right leg became unusable. Joe explained that his wife, who wasn’t home at the time of his incident, met him on the way to the hospital and drove the rest of the way. When he arrived at the emergency room of the hospital, the same facility where Joe had recently taken Jim for treatment of his ongoing heart condition, he was told that he had suffered a stroke. He was immediately admitted and stabilized. Unfortunately, because the twins share the same birth date and live in the same condominium (where Jim spends most of his time), the hospital initially began treating Joe using Jim’s medical information.
Joe appeared to be in surprisingly good spirits. Throughout our conversation this morning, he cracked several jokes about how he got to the hospital, driving and steering with his left side, and how he worried about being dressed properly. On a more serious note, he remarked about how surreal it felt that both he and his twin brother Jim are now hospitalized in different states at the same time — Jim awaiting heart surgery while Joe is being treated for a stroke.
