A campaign ad titled "Cows" depicts a Missouri bovine forced to learn a new language "now that my farm is owned by China." The cow says its herd is wondering why Ashcroft supported a law "allowing the Chinese Communist Party to buy land here in Missouri, even land near sensitive US military bases." Other cows in the ad are adorned with the flag of China.
Ashcroft says the ad ignores the provision creating 30-mile buffers. "That precluded the entire state," Ashcroft said. "They don't know how to read the bill."
Ashcroft's campaign released an ad featuring Ashcroft's father: "Jay Ashcroft never supported policy or legislation that welcomed or authorized Chinese ownership of Missouri land," said former Gov. John Ashcroft.
