'Working Class' Democratic Socialist State Senator Reports $10 Million Trust Fund
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-19/working-class-democratic-socialist-state-senator-reports-10-million-trust-fundAs it turns out, AOC isn't the only democratic socialist politician who misled the public about her "working class" roots to help get elected. Julia Salazar, the Brooklyn state senator and DSA - that's Democratic Socialists of America - member who unseated a rival Democrat last year with the help of the city's increasingly active democratic socialist machine, lied about growing up in a financially challenged immigrant family in Bushwick.
In a recent filing with the state's Joint Commission on Public Ethics, Salazar revealed that she's actually the beneficiary of a trust fund worth more than $10 million. Though the Salazar campaign is now claiming that this was a reporting error, and that the trust fund is worth "only" $400,000.
Another Democratic Socialist running as working class turns out to be a trust fund kid. Meet Julia Salazar.
