Why Gustavo Gordillo's Luxury Lifestyle is Sparking Outrage

A civil rights leader is calling for the resignation of Gustavo Gordillo, the co-leader of New York City’s chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America — saying his series of scandals proves the DSA now stands for the “Double Standards of America.”

Rev. Kevin McCall is demanding Gordillo steps down following bombshell revelations that his millionaire parents set him up in a renovated $1.5 million luxury row house in historically black but gentrifying Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn — as well as him getting sued for failing to pay rent in another building and fudging his blue-collar work history.

“The Democratic Socialists of America have become the Double Standards of America — demanding transparency, fairness, and accountability from everyone else while ignoring serious questions about one of their own,” said McCall, a Brooklyn pastor who also assists tenants in New York City Housing Authority complexes.
