The Washington Examiner serves up the shot:
The top Democrat running in New York’s 19th Congressional District took out a full page ad in the Albany Times Union slamming the “billionaires” and the “corporations” who “have rigged the system against us.” It is a pretty typical political ad. He looks stern with his arms crossed and his sleeves rolled up on his blue dress shirt — literally a blue collar!
And the Washington Examiner also provides the chaser:

The article conceded the possibility the watch was a Rolex knockoff, but reported that the candidate didn’t return their calls and emails.
