Political views
Bigotry
Pressley spoke at the 2019 Women's March organized by supporters of the notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan.[4]
Pressley is considered a loyal leftist and, like fellow rookie Democrat congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib (all members, along with Pressley, of an elitist clique of far-Left Democrat congresswomen who call themselves "The Squad"), irresponsibly makes outrageous and inflammatory public comments and refuses to take responsibility for them while she uses her race and gender as shields against criticism of her words and deeds by opponents. She has refused to condemn violence by left-wing fascist groups, particularly Antifa.[5]
Absurdity
On February 4, 2020, Pressley announced that, along with AOC, she will not attend Donald Trump's State of the Union Address because of his alleged "contempt for our constitution".[6] Less than two weeks later, Pressley expressed contempt for the U.S. Constitution, saying it's "sexist by its very design".[7]
