U.S. Navy veteran Joe Collins on Saturday released a scathing campaign ad attacking Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., for living in a multimillion-dollar mansion while representing a district plagued by crime and poverty.In the ad, Collins stands outside Waters’ $6 million California residence, noting that it is not even located inside the district she represents.“Do you know where I am right now? Maxine Waters’ six million-dollar mansion,” Collins asks. “Do you know where I’m not right now? Maxine Waters’ district.”Waters has represented the area that is now California’s 43rd District since 1991. Before that, she had served in the California State Assembly since 1976. Her home used to be within the boundaries of District 43 until redistricting shifted her neighborhood into the 37th District, which is represented by Democratic Rep. Karen Bass.
“We have bars on our windows. We don’t have any high-paying quality jobs," Collins continued. "And people needed to see that. And so it was very important that we shined a light on the disparities between how Maxine Waters lives and … how we actually live.”Fox News has made multiple attempts to reach Congresswoman Waters’ office with a request for comment on Collins’ campaign video.As of Sunday afternoon, Collins’ campaign ad has received more than 65,400 likes and more than 35,000 retweets.
