If you don't know, Attorney General John Ashcroft was an infamously puritanical man who used to cover up historic statues, because he reckoned their nudity to be vulgar.
Ashcroft worked for that other guy who lied about there being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, who didn't even win the election but got seated by the Supreme Court, who had war crimes happen under his watch, and who opened Guantanamo Bay.
