Todays progressive leaders beat the drum on the need for bold moves to reshape and rebuild our country. The rich have too much money, they claim, so lets give it to the poor, or anyone who wants free stuff, like a gratis college education.

If they wanted to be truly bold, they could try practicing what they preach.

As the pandemic gained steam last year, eviction moratoriums were granted to help those struggling to pay rent amid so many business closures.

In April of 2020, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) introduced the Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act, a bill calling for a nationwide cancellation of rents and home mortgage payments through the duration of the coronavirus pandemic. The bill would constitute a full payment forgiveness, with no accumulation of debt for renters or homeowners and no negative impact on their credit rating or rental history.

The bill was co-sponsored by fellow squad members Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and other progressive members of Congress.

Pressley tweeted last year, We must cancel rent, extend eviction and foreclosure moratoriums, provide rental assistance, and offer legal representation for those at risk of eviction.

And by we, she meant everyone but me.

As the Herald reported, Pressley and her husband earned up to $15,000 in rental income last year. According to financial reports, she and her husband received rental income of $5,001 to $15,000 on her primary residence in the city that was converted to a two-family building.

That primary residence, she disclosed, is worth$500,001 to $1 million. Her spouse salary is listed as $246,102.

Pressley wasnt alone on the do as I say, not as I do front according to Yahoo News, Rep Tlaib also claimed rental income last year of $15,001 to $50,000 from property she owns in Detroit.

Rent should be canceled, unless progressives are the ones charging it.

Speaking of charging, Rep. Ocasio Cortezs pricey Tesla got a shoutout on Twitter, and not in a good way, when she posted a thread about her grandmothers plight in Puerto Rico back in June:

Just over a week ago, my abuela fell ill I went to Puerto Rico to see her my 1st time in a year+ bc of COVID.

This is her home, she added, posting a picture of a dwelling with a damaged roof and no bedding. Hurricane Mara relief hasnt arrived. Trump blocked relief $ for PR. People are being forced to flee ancestral homes, & developers are taking them.

Honey, you drive a Tesla and have two apartments, Florida GOP congressional candidate Lavern Spicer replied. If your grandmother is living poor thats because you dont help her out. Im surprised that a socialist wouldnt redistribute that wealth to their grandma. Sad!

Theres a good 10 grand difference between a Tesla and a Prius, by the way.

AOC was slammed for being a Lear jet liberal a sobriquet she could share with our very own John Kerry, President Joe Bidens climate czar.

The man who exhorts us to reduce our carbon footprint, stat, owns a private jet.

Its not so much that these people are landlords and owners of costly cars and can avoid flying commercial its that they do so while pontificating on the evils of capitalism and carbon-based fuels and not sharing the wealth.

Progressives like to toss the word transparency around, claiming its vital to draw back the curtain on institutions in the name of justice.

They can start with themselves. Until then, we dont want to hear it.
