Quote:A United States congressional candidate has used a picture of a British seaside village to show what could happen if voters do not back President Trump.
An advert used an image of Jaywick Sands, near Clacton in Essex, to attack Nick Stella's Democrat opponent.
The campaign picture, which showed an unpaved road and rundown homes, said: "Help President Trump keep America on track and thriving."
It has received angry criticism from locals and Tendring District Council.
Republican Dr Stella is standing in the 11th Illinois congressional district in the US mid-term elections against Bill Foster.
The advert, which was shared on Dr Stella's campaign Facebook page, showed a billboard congratulating Congress speaker Nancy Pelosi and a message saying: "A vote for Foster is a vote for a speaker Pelosi. We can't go back to foreclosures, unemployment and economic recession."
Lilly livered slags. I could post a pic of a rundown area in the states, but that would be rather sinking to their level. Fuck 'em.
