Ayanna Pressley, 'cancel rent' advocate, discloses thousands of dollars in rental income
2021-08-18
[FoxNews] 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.

"We must cancel rent, extend eviction and foreclosure moratoriums, provide rental assistance, and offer legal representation for those at risk of eviction," Pressley, a member of the far-left "Squad," wrote in a Dec. 2020 tweet.

She introduced a bill in March 2021 that, if passed, would have canceled rent and mortgage payments nationwide.

The bill would have required the federal government to reimburse landlords for any rent not paid during the 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.

#3  Don't you get it yet? These restrictions they advocate are for everyone else, not themselves. They of course can do this because their hearts are pure and they deserve a good income for the good things they're doing. We get no such consideration as they have determined our hearts are evil and only bad things come out of us.

Yes, they really think this way.

Why of course. Guaranteed income for them. It's all one big racket to shear the serfs sheep.
