The state kicks Roxbury residents out of their community center and replaces them with illegal aliens; the same day, Squad Member Ayanna Pressley denounces racism, but not the Governor’s
/Walgreen shuts down Roxbury locations due to rampant theft by its residents, and Pressley howls
As sure as night follows day, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) dropped the race card on Walgreens for closing several stores in high-crime areas of Boston. Following the closing of its Roxbury-area location, the race-hustling Squad member went off on the chain — making a total fool out of herself, as usual.
The drugstore chain closed three other Boston stores in 2022.
Pressley on Tuesday took to the House floor to accuse the popular chain of committing "life-threatening acts of racial and economic discrimination."
“This closure is a part of a larger trend of abandoning low-income communities like the previous closures in Mattapan and Hyde park — both in the Massachusetts 7th. When a Walgreens leaves a neighborhood, they disrupt the entire community and they take with them baby formula, diapers, asthma inhalers, life-saving medications, and, of course, jobs.”
In fact, baby formula, diapers, and everything else on drugstores’ shelves are stolen for resale, notwithstanding Pressly’s fellow Squad member AOC’s claim that desperate, starving mothers commit these thefts. Do you want stores in your neighborhood? Stop the thieves.
.@Walgreens' closures of pharmacies in Roxbury, Mattapan & Hyde Park are not arbitrary or innocent.

They are disruptive, life-threatening acts of racial & economic discrimination.
As a multi-billion-dollar corporation, they must stop divesting from Black & brown communities. pic.twitter.com/iSvhFWw8Bl
Here are some of Pressley’s underserved constituents now:
When this is what Walgreens has to deal with, I'm not surprised.... pic.twitter.com/nqMGTT9G1l
