A “working-class” “immigrant” socialist who turns out to be the scion of a middle-class, white-bread suburb, with a whacking trust fund financing their idle political dilettantism? The only surprise here is that it’s **not** Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez this time.

> Brooklyn state senator Julia Salazar, a Democratic socialist who has presented herself as a champion of the working class, was living off a large trust fund during her campaign for state office, according to a Thursday *New York Post* report.  
>  
> New financial disclosure forms obtained by the *Post* showed the trust was worth more than $10 million, although Salazar, 28, has now claimed that number was in error. Instead, the New York Democrat says the trust she dipped into during her campaign is worth about $400,000.

She must have had to live on ramen and soup-kitchen handouts, the poor, struggling kid.

> “Nobody in my entire family is a millionaire. I do not own property,” she tweeted. “I have debt. Last year my annual salary was less than $50,000, because I had to take an unpaid leave from my job at a nonprofit in June order to run for office, and received $18,000 from my dead dad’s trust.”  
>  
> Salazar, is a self-proclaimed democratic socialist who has been endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She initially received fawning media coverage due to her similarities to Ocasio-Cortez and for her background as a progressive working-class immigrant from a Jewish family with an Ivy League education.

Except that even her own family reckon that’s a load of verkakte nonsense.

> But later reports uncovered alleged inconsistencies with regard to her personal narrative. Salazar’s attempts to portray herself as a working-class immigrant came under scrutiny, especially after her own family members appeared to contradict some of her claims.  
>  
> Salazar’s assertions that her family split time between the U.S. and Colombia, and that her earliest childhood memories were from Colombia, were rebutted by her brother, Alex.  
>  
> “We weren’t an immigrant family,” Alex told the *New York Times* last year, noting he only remembers a pair of short trips to Colombia as a child…He also disputed his sister’s account of their family’s financial situation, saying the Salazars were “certainly middle class, or upper middle class,” while growing up in a comfortable community in Jupiter, FL.

Oh, come on: look at this **hovel**. It’s nowt more a small shoebox in the middle of the road.

She used to DREAM of livin’ in a corridor! Woulda’ been a palace to ‘er.
