“The Squad,” a group of radical leftist Democratic-Socialists in the House of Representatives, has a tendency to demonstrate hypocrisy on a regular basis, yet every instance seems to do little in extinguishing their popularity.
Unofficial Squad leader and undeniable diva Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously cried at the gates of a border patrol detention center during the Trump years, only to completely ignore and at times embrace the Biden regime’s worsening conditions for those crossing over illegally.
The newest member of the team, Cori Bush, found herself brutally mocked after it was revealed she pays massive amounts of money to private security while calling for regular folks to have their police protection defunded. Now, another Squad member is proving she’s above her own rules.
Now, there’s a new contender for Biggest Hypocrite Award among Squad members. Ayanna Pressley, one of the original fabulous four, has railed against rent and the “oppressive landlords” of America since joining the House of Representatives in 2019. She has called for rent to be canceled completely for anyone who struggles to pay, which is tens of millions of households today thanks in large part to Pandemic Panic Theater shutting down the economy.
As it turns out, she’s a no-good, evil, oppressive rent-collector herself. Well, her husband is. According to Fox News:
Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s annual financial disclosure shows she and her husband made thousands of dollars in rental income last year. Pressley has been one of the most prominent advocates for canceling rent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pressley’s 2020 financial disclosure, filed on Friday, disclosed between $5,000 and $15,000 in rental income from a Boston property in her husband’s name. The property was converted into a multi-family apartment after it was purchased, according to Pressley’s disclosure.
Pressley’s office did not immediately return Fox News’ request for comment on whether she and her husband canceled rent for their tenants at any point in 2020. She disclosed the same range of rental income – between $5,000 and $15,000 – in 2020 as she did in 2019, before the pandemic began.
