GOP candidate in NH points out Dem opponent is millionaire after impeachment

A Republican congressional candidate in New Hampshire criticized her Democratic opponent Thursday evening and reminded her that she is a multi-millionaire, after the Democrat accused her of favoring the wealthy.

“She believes we should give the richest and largest corporations a break and hope for the best, and hope that the results will trickle down to hardworking people,” said Democratic congressional candidate Maggie Goodlander, who is married to national security adviser Jake Sullivan . said of Republican Lily Tang Williams during a debate.

“I’m taking a very different approach. I believe the middle class deserves a tax cut, and I believe we will do a lot for this country by ensuring we don’t continue these disastrous tax policies.”

Republican Lily Tang Williams raised her hand to respond and hit back at Goodlander, saying, “You’re rich. You’re worth $20 million to $30 million. How do you know about the suffering of ordinary people? Do you go shopping? Go to Walmart?” Buy food? I talk to those people. And you pretend you’re a renter in Nashua a few months ago, and you go back to this open place with millions of dollars from Washington, DC, insiders… I don’t have the money for it. show a TV commercial, and you pretend to be poor, and complain that the rent is so high.
