Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, who entered office with a negative net worth, is confronted by a reporter about her wealth now skyrocketing to over $8 million — thanks to her husband's new consulting firm and multiple acquired rental properties. She calls it 'fake news' and walks away.Reporter: “Congresswoman — What do you have to say to Americans who are concerned about the fact that you went into Congress with a negative net worth and now you’re reportedly worth over $8 million?”Pressley: “Fake news. Next question. You know, I come from a single-parent household. I know what it’s like to struggle. I know what it’s like to not know how you’re gonna make ends meet. I know what it’s like to have to decide between rent and groceries. And so, I am proud of the work that I’ve done. I am proud of the success that I’ve earned. And I would encourage you to do your homework.”
