DSA hypocrite Gustavo Gordillo is so typical: A rich kid living off Daddys money while posing as a working-class hero

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.The guy trying to shove socialism down our throats is actually a rich kid who lives in a $1.5 million Bed-Stuy home paid for and renovated by his daddy.By day, Gustavo Gordillo, the co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America’s New York chapter, has appeared on Fox News railing against capitalism and landlords.“We don’t think that anybody should have the constitutional right to double-digit returns on their investment,” he recently said on the cable network.But by night, the 38-year-old propagandist returns home to rest his head in a single-family Brooklyn home that his father bought through an LLC in 2019.Before that, from 2016 to 2019, Gordillo lived in a $2,600-a-month apartment on the Lower East Side.
The rent was paid by his father’s LLC.Reached by The Post this week, Gordillo’s father confirmed the cushy living arrangement: “My son and my other son both live there.The LLC purchased the home, and then we did the renovations.”An immigrant to this country from Peru, his father, I imagine, said this with pride.He has been successful enough to achieve the American dream — and give his kids a very good life that includes a Yale education and a very nice place to live in one of the most expensive cities in the world.That his son would become a radical socialist trying to pull the ladder up behind him is so unoriginal.
It’s so cliche.After all, the more we learn about the DSA’s cult leaders, the more we understand that they’re all rich kids trying to seize power while posing not only as heroes of the working-class, but also active members.These people have no shame, but they do have family money to fall back on.They are a frivolous and deeply unserious group that Sen.John Kennedy has cleverly called the “Lulu Lenins.”There’s Zohran Mamdani, whose rich and successful parents own a compound in Uganda and, up until 2019, owned a Chelsea loft.
His resume is as thin as Gordillo’s pencil musta...
