Democratic socialist Julia Salazar dipped into massive trust fund during campaign

Julia Salazar — the Brooklyn state senator who has been called out for falsely painting herself as a working-class immigrant — was living off a trust fund while mounting her socialist-themed campaign, new campaign finance disclosures reveal.
The fact-challenged freshman lawmaker filed papers saying the trust was worth an eye-popping $10 million — although she now claims the figure was an error and the family trust she dipped into actually holds around $400,000.
The 28-year-old reported to the state’s Joint Commission on Public Ethics in a signed, May 15 financial disclosure that she received $18,000 in 2018 from her deceased father, Luis H. Salazar’s, trust.
In the handwritten disclosure, she appeared to value the fund at $10 million, classifying the cash stash as “Category DDDDD” — a code used in campaign paperwork to signify amounts of “$10 million or more.”
Asked about the largess on Thursday, Salazar insisted she meant to write “Category D” — a range of $5,000-$20,000 — referring to the $18,000 trust fund disbursement.
The lawmaker said she misread the sheet provided by JCOPE outlining the categorizations — and when she read that Category DDDDD was “10,000,000 and over,” she thought it said “$10,000 and over.”
“I looked at it in a cursory way,” she told The Post, adding, “I mistook the comma versus the decimal point, so it added it extra zeros.”
Still, she managed to follow the instructions correctly on the very next line, where she reported her income working as a community organizer for Jews for Racial + Economic Justice — as “Category E,” or $20,000–$50,000.
Since she doesn’t control the trust fund, Salazar is not required to state its value on JCOPE disclosures.
The democratic socialist said she needed the inherited dough to pay her bills while she was running for office.

You can pretty much count on the fact that any stupid ass young moron graduating from our socialist brainwashing centers known as universities, who HAVE MASSIVE TRUST FUNDS, will be committed socialists.
That you can count on. Think about it. What sort of stupid ass middle class person, who fully understands what it is to pay their own bills, would chant for higher taxes?
Look at that up there. That is what we are dealing with. They are wealthy losers and like all of decadent hollywood (especially the kids of celebs) they try to portray themselves as robin hoods who really really care about the poor and really really know that they need. That, being free handouts and the rich mean capitalists are the ONLY REASON they are poor.
