He's a protectionist.

On the issue of trade, Hunter has repeatedly voted against international trade agreements such as NAFTA, CAFTA and the WTO.[14] Hunter contends that free trade policies directly impact America's manufacturing base and contribute to the country's burgeoning trade deficit. Hunter cites that China has a 17% subsidy for its manufacturers, a 17% tax on U.S. imports, and the Chinese devalue their currency at 40 percent making Chinese goods cheaper and leaving U.S. manufacturers at a 74% disadvantage. Many nations have enacted less dramatic, but very significant, unfair taxes and practices that give them a large advantage.[15] Hunter wants fair trade so the U.S. may be on a level playing field, and does not want the fruits of unfair trade practices to be used against the U.S. economically and militarily.[16]

I'm very pro free trade.

No, he opposes setting up trade deals that are designed to subsidize imports. He also opposes socializing risks that are unaccounted externalities to selected imports.
Free trade is fine, but surely you see the problem in selling out our assets to hostile entities like China (who has been very supportive of Iran, Venezuela, etc.).
