'Squad' Dem spends eye-popping amount on luxury limo services in one year

Progressive "Squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has spent over $35,000 on luxury limousine services since last year, according to her most recent Federal Election Commission filings.

While Aline Luxury Limo Services has no publicly available information, a now-defunct website for DTW Chauffeured Rides — a company registered at the same address as the owner — described the business as a "limousine service company providing luxury transportation for more than a decade," according to an archived version of the website on the Wayback Machine.

The website stated the company offered a "range of vehicles, from classic limousines to modern sedans and SUVs," and said it is "committed to providing an upscale experience at an affordable price." 

As the first Palestinian-born woman elected to Congress and someone who is widely seen as a leading progressive voice, Tlaib has regularly criticized wealth and income inequality in the U.S.

In September, Tlaib joined with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in introducing the "Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act," which they said in a joint statement is meant to "take on corporate greed and rein in the obscene salaries of America’s top executives."

"Republicans are literally taking food out of the mouths of hungry kids by cutting billions of dollars in nutrition assistance. And the same lawmakers who claim that we don’t have the money to feed hungry children or make sure people in our communities have the health care they need have no problem voting to send an additional $150 billion to weapons manufacturers and endless war and $170 billion to masked agents terrorizing our communities and illegally disappearing our neighbors for profit," wrote Tlaib.

"Every member who voted to pass this disastrous budget betrayed the people they represent to serve the rich and powerful and deserves to be voted out of office," she added.
