The congressman-elect set to become the first member of Generation Z to serve in Congress said his rental application for an apartment in DC was denied because of his “really bad” credit

The congressman-elect set to become the first member of Generation Z to serve in Congress said Thursday his rental application for an apartment in Washington, DC, was denied because of his “really bad” credit. “Just applied to an apartment in DC where I told the guy that my credit was really bad. He said I’d be fine. Got denied, lost the apartment, and the application fee. This ain’t meant for people who don’t already have money,” Maxwell Frost said in a tweet.

” “As a candidate, you can’t give yourself a stipend or anything till the very end of your campaign,” he added. “So most of the run, you have no $ coming in unless you work a second job.” CNN has reached out to Frost’s office for comment. In comments to The Washington Post, Frost declined to identify the building, the size of his debt or credit score, but said the building where his application was rejected was in the city’s Navy Yard neighborhood, roughly a mile from the US Capitol.

Maybe his mommy and daddy can co-sign for him 🙄

Oh well

Let’s put him on the Ways and Means committee then

Most commute. Old days hostel hotel in Delaware housed many staff that could not afford lodging. Whitehouse and later Congress cafeteria fed them. Get over it! Poor Senators and Reps have always worked there.

Welcome to living in DC.

Can’t manage his own finances but trustworthy enough to manage our countries lol

This begs the question, who funded his campaign?

😂😂😂...😂😂👌

I'm sure things will work out. Just look at AOC. She used to complained about renting a few years ago but she's worth over a million$$$ now

Lmao!

Lmao!

Who votes for these tools

Should need a credit check to run for office!

Geez, what do you know….reality really bites!

good

So sad how far CNN has fallen in the last 25 years.Maybe this new guy will bring back REAL journalism.

Bad credit but not bought and paid for...yet.

Sounds like a Gen Z…don’t worry your party will find a way to forgive all your debt.

Uh, that happens, so?

i mean.. if he doesn't pay for things he promised to pay for.. umm. LOL.

UMM.. Is this not standard operating procedure?

Oh well.

Finally Congress can get a taste of the real world!!

Ok....

How dare they not give him special privileges because he's a politician! He's going to have to virtue signal about rent control and homelessness, but not suggest any workable solution, to get back at em!

Cue the left response of the ' rental application system is racist' in 3, 2 .......

He probably telling the truth. 😂

Most people are denied if they have bad credit. That s why they do a credit check. Does he think he is above everyone else because he is a Congressman. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great, we have a guy that can’t manage his life that’s going to help run our country. 🤦‍♀️

He'll do fine in Congress - has no idea how to manage money

“This ain’t meant for people who don’t already have money,” Maxwell Frost said in a tweet.” - - - Renting an apartment? Plenty of people rent apartments every day without being wealthy buddy, stop blaming everyone else because you can’t support yourself.

If you have bad credit that's what happens.

I wish him the best. Keep your head up brother.

Welcome to reality. I support him being there but this is reality. He willl have to sleep in his office or get roommates like many before him. It sucks - if you have morals you don’t get rich in office.

That happens.😂😂😂😂

Why o why is this news Slow news day i see

This doesn't speak well to the type of people you guys are electing.

At least he's being honest, even before he starts.

Pay your bills and you wouldn’t be I. This mess. No one to blame but you

That’s called life

I can forget the January 16 remonstration now🙂🙂

Tips for Next Gen: 1) when planning to run for the chamber of Congress that control’s America’s bank account… 2) make sure that you’re qualified to move out of your parent’s house first.

🤣🤣🤣

Self pity kicking in. It’s how the system should work.

Why this history are you checking in his Twitter account?. Shame on CNN.

Lol. Clown

Ok? I mean that’s like what happens when you have really bad credit dawg.

Let's remember AbbasDris,who is facing execution,his sentence has been confirmed and there is a fear of killing him. If Abbas is killed,his children will be orphaned again If they kill Abbas, they will kill Nizar's last witness. MohsenShekari MahsaAmini‌

That’s tough.

So broke fella cant rent because of broke. Did i understand that correctly?

Oh he will get some help with that and another politician with debts to lobbyist is made.

Is capable, but is not enough?

😥

He will be worth millions very quickly. Will likely still have bad credit, but will be swimming in cash just like Biden.

Either he’s never lived in his own before or completely ruined his credit by not paying bills? You wanted this guy representing you?

Ha ha ha ha…….dumbass

Welcome to the real world.

But instead of taking responsibility for his bad credit which means he hasn't paid previous debts, he's going to blame everyone else. When will this craziness end! People no longer want to take responsibility for their own failings!!!! Pathetic!!

Actions have consequences dude.

Maybe he should improve his credit and stop complaining

Worst case scenario: A lobbyist or someone else will take care of that issue for him; then it’ll be the birth of a corrupt politician

I'm thinking he tried for an apartment in uber white Upper Georgetown.

And there you go.... Can't wait for 'special treatment' for his provilege status

So these are the types of bums we electing into parliament these days, my lord these Dems are criminals💩

🤣🤣🤣
