Hakeem Jeffries Exposed the Democrats’ Hypocrisy on Taxes

As one of the highest-ranking members of the House Democratic Caucus, Hakeem Jeffries is beginning to feel the heat of what it’s like to be under the microscope. 

New reports reveal that Jeffries has benefitted from a program which allowed him to dodge thousands of dollars in property taxes over the years. Several members of his caucus have specifically criticized wealthy New Yorkers for taking advantage of the 421-A program in order to pay pennies on the dollar compared to their neighbors.

Some of New York’s leading insurgent Democratic challengers over the past few election cycles have also vocally opposed the 421-A abatement or targeted the program for scrutiny, including gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon. 

America Rising Spokeswoman, Kristen Bennett: “House Democrats want everyday Americans to pay their fair share in taxes while a member of their leadership team pays pennies on the dollar compared to his neighbors. We want to thank Hakeem Jeffries for single-handedly exposing his party’s hypocrisy by engaging in the same behavior he rails against on a daily basis.”
