Pro-Greitens PAC hits Schmitt on China in ad airing during Olympics opening ceremony

[TexasTowelie]

Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s record on China is once again coming under fire, with a political action committee supporting one of his rivals in the GOP Senate primary launching an attack ad during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics.

Team PAC, which was formed to support the U.S. Senate candidacy of former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens and funded by conservative billionaire Richard Uihlein, says the ad will run statewide Friday night.

Entitled “Mao Money,” the 30-second ad highlights Schmitt’s efforts in 2011 to enact a $480 million tax credit program to turn St. Louis into a hub for freight flown between China and the Midwest. It also points to his vote in favor of a 2013 bill that made it possible for a Chinese food processing conglomerate to purchase Smithfield Foods and its 40,000 acres of Missouri farmland.

“How did China get so powerful?” the narrator of the ad says. “Friends like Eric Schmitt.”

1. Uline is sneaky - they have two product pages

One will take you to products Made in USA which they promote publicly. The other is their standard offerings that includes many products made in other countries, including China.

How did China get so powerful? Friends like Richard Uihlein.

2. Why can't the Dems pick up this seat?

3. There is only one statewide office currently held by a Democrat in Missouri.

The state has also been trending more conservative so it probably isn't considered to be a wise investment when there are other races on the fence.
