Far-left "Squad" members Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., raked in thousands of dollars from rent payments while pushing for rent cancellation during the pandemic, disclosure forms show.
Pressley reported collecting up to $117,500 from renting out four Boston properties in 2021, her newest financial disclosure form shows. Pressley and her husband reported rental income ranging from $5,000 to $15,000 the year prior, meaning she's collected up to $132,500 in rent during the pandemic.
Tlaib also maintained a steady flow of rental income. Fox News Digital reported last week that Tlaib pocketed up to $100,000 from a Detroit property throughout the pandemic.
Tlaib's newest financial disclosure form, released last Thursday, shows that she made between $15,001 and $50,000 from renting the unit in 2021 while reporting the same pay range the year before. Tlaib has collected between $30,002 and $100,000 from renting out the property during the pandemic.
But as Pressley and Tlaib quietly hauled in the payments, they simultaneously pushed for rent cancellation alongside other "Squad" members.
In April 2020, Pressley, Tlaib and other progressives co-sponsored Rep. Ilhan Omar's, D-Minn., bill to "institute a nationwide cancellation of rents and home mortgage payments through the duration of the coronavirus pandemic."
"We must cancel rent, extend eviction and foreclosure moratoriums, provide rental assistance, and offer legal representation for those at risk of eviction," Pressley later wrote in a December 2020 tweet.
