It is the racial undertones of the ad that have critics up in arms. The Associated Press reports that Michigan GOP consultant Nick De Leeuw called the ad appalling and the Asian and Pacific Islander American Votes Michigan chapter condemned the ad as very disturbing.
It is very disturbing that Mr. Hoekstras campaign chose to use harmful and negative stereotypes that intrinsically encourage anti-Asian sentiment, the group said in a statement Sunday.
Hoekstra responded to the barrage of criticism Sunday night, writing on his Facebook page that Democrats trying to make this an issue of race demonstrates their total ignorance of job creation policies.
