Rashida Tlaib lobbied to cancel rent during the pandemic, but she personally pocketed up to $100,000 from her own renters during that time

Squad member Rashida Tlaib may have just exposed herself as the biggest hypocrite in the Squad.

And that's saying a lot.

Tlaib, who lobbied for rent to be canceled during the pandemic personally sat back and enjoyed collecting rent the entire time. To the tunes of tens of thousands of dollars.

From Fox News:

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has pocketed up to $100,000 in rental income during the pandemic despite pushing to cancel rent, according to disclosure forms reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Tlaib filed her latest annual financial disclosure report Thursday, which reveals she collected between $15,001 and $50,000 in rental income from a Detroit property in 2021. The Michigan Democrat reported the same rental income for 2020 last August, meaning she now made between $30,000 and $100,000 from rent payments during the pandemic.

Tlaib, however, collected the rent checks despite co-sponsoring a bill alongside other "Squad" members that sought to cancel rent during the pandemic.

The hypocrisy is so overwhelming.

It's the perfect encapsulation of the radical Left.

Rent is evil, landlords are evil, I'll even sponsor legislation to CANCEL rent. Meanwhile, I'll rake in like 100 grand on rent myself.

She knew the bill would never pass and she had no intention of actually enacting her "principles" personally by canceling rent for her tenants.

In early 2020, Tlaib joined Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and others in co-sponsoring 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."

Later, in March 2021, the progressive firebrands re-introduced the bill, which would have canceled rent through April 2022.

She literally tried to criminalize rent collection while collecting rent!

And as Fox points out, Squad member Ayanna Pressley engaged in the exact same hypocrisy.

What kind of low-information ignoramuses are keeping these people in power?
