Lying Dem Rashida Tlaib Caught In Big Time Money Scandal!

Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) made a name for herself because she co-sponsored bills that would cancel payments. However, at the same time, she evidently made a name for herself collecting thousands of dollars as a landlord!

The financial report of Rashida Tlaib was filed on Friday, and it reveals that this progressive lawmaker had taken in between $15,000 and $50,000 from one property in particular in Detroit. Rashida Tlaib was the recipient of the same income range from that rental property in 2019, according to financial records.



Fox News issued a report showing that the Michigan lawmaker’s property has an estimated worth that is between $100,000 and $250,000.

Last December, Rashida Tlaib wrote a tweet where she urged her fellow lawmakers to work on protecting Americans from “landlords and bill collectors.”

“Always tons of agreement for tools of war and destroying families abroad, but never this much enthusiasm for protecting American families at home from landlords and bill collectors in the midst of a pandemic,” she tweeted.

Tlaib makes $174,000 per year as a representative, and she co-sponsored a bill that was authored by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) in April 2020 that was going to “institute a nationwide cancellation of rents and home mortgage payments through the duration of the coronavirus pandemic.”

Tlaib also sponsored the latest version of the bill, which they reintroduced in March 2021 as a means “to suspend obligations of residential renters and mortgagors to make payments during the COVID-19 emergency, and for other purposes.”

“It’s really important that we understand that moratoriums are good, but they’re going to end and without payment and debt cancelation we are kicking the crisis down the road,” Tlaib noted at a news conference in March that announced the bill, as reported by Reason.

Is this another example of “do as I say and not as I do”? Fox News did ask Tlaib if she too had offered her tenants the opportunity to have their rent, but the outlet reported that Tlaib’s office did not return their request for comment.

If Tlaib were the only Democrat that wanted to hand out freebies it would be bad enough, but she is joined by Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-Massachusetts), who has also made thousands of dollars on rental property in Boston. Pressley called this a “public health emergency” on Twitter last December, and she co-sponsored Omar’s Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act.
