Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) just proved that she truly belongs to the far-left “Squad” group that also includes Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

First, she proved her far-left radical credentials by attacking our American justice system as “racist, xenophobic, rogue & fundamentally flawed beyond reform.” Meaning, of course, that it had to be torn down and face “radical transformation.”

We’ve seen that underway with radical and progressive DAs being elected across the country with a little help from George Soros.

In San Francisco, you even had Chesa Boudin, the son of radical Weather Underground terrorists winning the DA race there and promising to not prosecute “quality of life” crimes.

But even beyond the radical policy, Pressley stepped in it big time, as her sisters in the squad often do.

Here’s what she tweeted as a follow-up to the first tweet. She deleted it, but the internet is forever.

Wait, what? How could she actually believe that 1 in 4 people in the world are “locked in cages?” Never mind that people locked up in jail are not “locked in cages,” but are in jail because they were convicted of crimes.

There are about 7.5 billion people in the world. So she’s claiming that over a billion people, about 1.8 billion are locked up in the United States? There are only about 330 million total in the United States.

How did she make it to Congress with this kind of grasp of math and statistics?

Or all the people locked up in concentration camps in North Korea.

Ultimately, she did ‘fix’ it to this:

But, as Jerry Dunleavy noted, that’s probably too high as well.

Simply letting people out or not prosecuting crimes that should be prosecuted leads to more crime and a lot of other burgeoning quality of life issues that we’re seeing in some Democratic cities
