For a special guest to showcase at the SOTU Thursday, squad member Ayanna Pressley picked someone who has actually benefitted from Democrat policies — i.e., a comfortable deadbeat:
A teacher paid $135,901 last year who had student debt forgiven was the “honored” guest of U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley at the State of the Union address.
That teacher, who also owns a home in Dedham with her husband assessed in Zillow online records at about $1 million, was given $117,000 in student debt relief, Pressley says in a press release.
Adding to her specialness, Priscilla Higuera Valentine is a member of the cancerous teachers unions that have destroyed American education and the daughter of a Third World immigrant.
She teaches elementary school — easy work with lots of time off. Median income in her town is about half her take at $61,699.
Debt can’t really be canceled; it can only be transferred. Someone has to pay it. As with Priscilla’s bloated salary, we pay through taxes and inflation.
Honored to have Priscilla Higuera Valentine as my #SOTU guest this year.
She's a first-gen American & @BTU66 educator who had over $117K in student debt canceled thanks to @POTUS.
Her story is a testament to why we must keep delivering this relief to as many people as possible. pic.twitter.com/av8uxZWGDL
