New Hampshire 2nd Congressional District candidate Lily Tang Williams delivered a blistering assault on Thursday against her opponent, Maggie Goodlander.
Goodlander is a former Biden administration Department of Justice official. She is married to national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
During a Thursday debate, Goodlander accused Tang Williams of catering to the wealthiest Americans by supporting tax breaks.
'You pretend you are poor.'
"She believes that we should give a break to the wealthiest and the biggest corporations and hope for the best, hope that the results will trickle down to hardworking people," Goodlander stated.
"I take a very different approach. I believe that the middle class deserves a tax cut, and I believe that we will do a lot for this country by ensuring that we don't continue this disastrous tax policy," she added.
Without missing a beat, Tang Williams fired back, accusing Goodlander of being a multimillionaire herself who is out of touch with the struggles of everyday Americans.
"You are wealthy. You're worth $20 million to $30 million. How do you know about regular people's suffering? Do you go shopping? Go to Walmart? Buy food? I talk to those people. And you pretend to be a renter in Nashua a few months ago, move back to run for this open seat with millions of dollars from Washington, D.C., insiders," Tang Williams told Goodlander.
Goodlander rents an apartment in Nashua. If she wins the election, she has stated she will purchase property in the district, according to the New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism.
"I don't have money to run a TV ad, and you pretend you are poor, complain rent is so high," Tang Williams continued. "You do not understand regular people's concerns."
"Just go back to your $2 million home in Portsmouth," she remarked. "You do not understand regular people's concerns."
Tang Williams' fiery rebuttal went viral on social media.
According to the Daily Beast and the New York Times, Goodlander and Sullivan purchased a $1.2 million home in Portsmouth in 2018.
Earlier this year, Goodlander was torched for complaining that rent costs are "too damn high" while holding millions of dollars in real estate.
Tang Williams was raised in China during Mao Zedong's cultural revolution. She came to the United States with only $100 and became a citizen in 1994.
Following the viral debate moment, Tang Williams posted on X, "I have the fire in my belly to fight for the people in #NH02. I will always tell the truth."

Trump leads Harris in state Democrats have won for over 2 decades
Former President Donald Trump has pulled ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in New Hampshire, according to a New Hampshire Journal/Praecones Analytica poll released Sunday. The last time a Republican presidential candidate won New Hampshire was over two decades ago, when George W. Bush was running in 2000.
Trump has managed to gain momentum in the longtime blue state, polling at 50.2% while Harris trails at 49.8%, according to the poll. Although Trump's lead is slim, this poll may sound the alarm for Democrats who have otherwise dominated the state in seven of the last eight presidential elections.
'She's on defense and knows President Trump is on the path to victory.'
Trump previously lost the state to President Joe Biden in 2020 by 7.3% and to Hillary Clinton in 2016 by 0.3%. In 2012 and 2008, former President Barack Obama won the state by 5.6% and 9.6%, respectively.
"There's a reason Kamala Harris has been spending money in New Hampshire," Karoline Leavitt, a Trump campaign spokeswoman and New Hampshire native, told the New Hampshire Journal. "She's on defense and knows President Trump is on the path to victory."
Nearly half of adults in New Hampshire, 44%, self-identify as Democratic or Democratic-leaning voters, while just 35% self-identify as Republican or Republican-leaning and 20% self-identify as having no partisan leaning, according to a Pew Research study. Despite having more Democratic-leaning voters, Trump is pulling ahead of Harris, likely due to a growing favorability among independents.
"To my fellow Granite Staters who want to keep our beautiful state safe, business-friendly, and free — get out and vote for President Trump," Leavitt told the New Hampshire Journal. "Kamala is a radical liberal who would destroy New Hampshire and America forever."

Biden Calls For Political Persecution Of Trump: ‘We Gotta Lock Him Up’
'I know this sounds bizarre. It sounds like if I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up. We got to lock him up,' Biden said to applause.Catholic high school girls' soccer team boycotts game against school with infamous male player
A Catholic high school girls' soccer team in New Hampshire refused to play against another school with a male on its team.
Bishop Brady High School in Concord took a stand against Kearsage Regional High School, which has a boy on its girls' team despite state law prohibiting such participation.
The Kearsage Regional school board reportedly has voted 6-1 in favor of allowing Jacques and other boys to play on the same teams as girls.
Bishop Brady girls refused to show up for the game Friday, Fox News said, citing multiple reports.
The team from Kearsarge Regional High School features a male star athlete named Maelle Jacques, who plays goalkeeper. The boy is already well known for making headlines after winning a state championship in the girls' high jump in February.
Jacques is reportedly 6'1" tall and has sparked outrage with at least one other team in the region. The Hillsboro-Deering High School soccer team refused to play against Kearsage just three weeks prior — perhaps signaling a trend that young women in the state will not stand for unfairness.
Despite the New Hampshire state law, a federal judge appointed by former President Barack Obama granted an injunction Sept. 10 allowing two male athletes to continue playing with female athletes — and even to change in the same locker room as female athletes — until a final ruling has been made. Judge Landya McCafferty was appointed in 2013.
The other athlete in question, Parker Tirrell, plays for Plymouth Regional High School.
Plymouth was the center of controversy when parents of students at Bow High School decided to show their support for female athletes by wearing wristbands with "XX" on them when their school played against a team with the boy.
School officials reportedly stopped the game, demanded parents take off the wristbands, and had police issue "no trespass" orders against parents.
"My daughter's playing in the homecoming game this weekend, and I'm banned," a parent said at the time. "I can't watch her play in homecoming — which is ridiculous," the father added.
The Kearsage Regional school board reportedly has voted 6-1 in favor of allowing Jacques and other boys to play on the same teams as girls.
Fed up
Women across the country have become fed up with playing against males in their sports, with five different women's volleyball teams in the NCAA forfeiting matches against San Jose State University, which has a male athlete on the women's team.
"The vast majority of us decided that this isn't right, [that] we need to protect women's sports, and we're going to forfeit," Nevada's team captain Sia LiiLii told Blaze News.
At the same time, a group of former athletes and legal activists attended a United Nations General Assembly event and urged the international body to take a stand on behalf of women.
Attorney Kristen Waggoner and Reem Alsalem, the U.N. special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, called for the international sports community to keep men out of women's sports.
