Last week, we learned that Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar is worth millions, despite her dedication to the Bernie Sanders school of claiming to hate wealthy people.
Now it is being revealed that Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley is also worth more than a million. And Pressley, who has often been critical of landlords, is making her money in real estate. How nice for her.
According to this report, Pressley also owns a property on Martha’s Vineyard. What is it with Democrats and the Vineyard, anyway?
From the New York Post:
Squad’s Ayanna Pressley reaps windfall as Boston landlord, joining Omar in millionaire club: ‘hypocrite’Lefty Rep. Ayanna Pressley – who once camped out on the Capitol steps for taxpayer-funded rent relief — reaped a windfall as a Boston landlord last year, The Post has learned.Pressley (D-Mass) and her ex-con hubby, management consultant Conan Harris raked in up to a staggering $350,000 in profit last year from a property sale and rental income that includes a decidedly capitalist pad on Martha’s Vineyard, Pressley’s 2024 annual financial disclosure reveals.Financial disclosures show Pressley — who disclosed as much as $8 million in assets, the first time she’s declared over $1 million — now joins Squad comrade Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mich.) in the millionaire’s club, a far cry from the working-class warrior image she tries to project.“Ayanna Pressley is a hypocrite who preaches socialism while pocketing millions,” Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kiersten Pels told The Post.“She tells everyday Americans they must be forced to defund the police and live with sky-high crime in their communities while indulging in private security. Pressley is a fraud – just like the rest of the Squad.”Pressley’s good fortune is a massive jump from the $15,000 the Democrat lawmaker declared in rental income back in 2020, when she owned just one property – the couple’s gated home in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston they converted to a multi-family building for extra cash, disclosures show.
Pressley’s real estate investments have been known for a while. Back in 2021, she was joining other Democrats in a campaign aimed at landlords, which sought to cancel rents.
The Foundation for Economic Education reported at the time:
“Landlord” has become a dirty word in progressive politics. From the #CancelRent movement to support for the CDC’s unlawful “eviction moratorium,” prominent left-wing politicians want the government to back the “good guys,” renters, at the expense of the “bad guys,” landlords. So, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley may have some explaining to do.The Massachusetts Democrat and #CancelRent advocate has apparently been a landlord for several years now, according to new investigative reporting. She has reportedly earned tens of thousands of dollars in rental income from a Boston property.
Pressley was tweeting about it.
Have you noticed that all of these so-called Democratic Socialists are curiously wealthy? AOC, Omar, Pressley, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Zohran Mamdani. Rich elitists, every one of them.
