Former Rep. Pete Hoesktra (R-MI) is enjoying the media backlash against the ad he ran for his Senate campaign, which played in Michigan during the Super Bowl — and featured an Asian actress speaking in broken English, to thank incumbent Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow for spending and borrowing money from China.

“Your economy get very weak,” the woman said in the ad. “Ours get very good. We take your jobs.”

Monday afternoon, Hoekstra posted this on Twitter, referring to liberal TV host Rachel Maddow:

Maddow promoting ad on her website. She doesn’t like it because it hits Ds where it hurts - spending!
