A blistering new video from 7th District Congressional candidate Ed FitzGerald is catching fire online — and it’s not hard to see why. The former FBI Special Agent, now taking on incumbent Rep. Max Miller, has ignited national attention with a sharp-edged attack on Donald Trump’s newly built $300 million White House ballroom — a project critics have already dubbed “Marie Antoinette’s ballroom.”


In the video, FitzGerald doesn’t mince words. With cinematic editing and a cool, prosecutorial tone, he unveils a proposal to give Trump’s gilded ballroom a new name and purpose after Trump leaves office: “The Museum of Political Corruption.”


The short video pans over a AI-generated rendering of the gaudy ballroom, its golden fixtures glinting under chandeliers. FitzGerald narrates that future generations should see it not as a monument to wealth and power, but as an exhibit hall chronicling America’s long history of political scandal — from the Gilded Age and Teapot Dome to Watergate and, inevitably, Trump’s own presidency.


The concept is biting satire wrapped in serious civic critique, and it’s striking a chord. Within hours of release, the video began spreading across social media. Clips of the “Museum of Political Corruption” concept has already racked up thousands of views. Viewers praised its mix of dark humor and righteous anger — while Trump loyalists fumed in comment sections, calling it “disrespectful,” “fake news,” or, in one viral repost, “the ad that hit a nerve.”


FitzGerald’s campaign said little publicly about the strategy, but insiders suggest the move plays directly to his strengths. Before entering politics, FitzGerald served as an FBI Special Agent specializing in public corruption investigations — experience he has leaned on to contrast himself with both Trump and Miller.


Political observers say the ad is one of the most effective and creative jabs of the 2026 cycle. Rather than a standard issue-based spot, FitzGerald’s message functions more like a digital art piece — a shareable critique that doubles as political branding. Its tone is sardonic but grounded: Trump’s golden ballroom, presented as an artifact for a future exhibit on corruption, becomes a stand-in for everything FitzGerald argues has gone wrong in American politics.
