Public Records Undercut Gustavo Gordillo's Working-Class Claims as $1.4 Million Home Scrutiny Deepens

Summary
Gustavo Gordillo faced fresh questions after public records challenged his account of a modest immigrant family background, including an obituary showing his grandfather was a psychiatrist who immigrated from Peru in 1958.
The new scrutiny adds to earlier revelations that the 38-year-old NYC-DSA co-chair was living in a $1.4 million townhouse owned by his father, not renting a modest Crown Heights apartment as described.
His working-class image has also been hit by an IBEW statement saying he has not been a union member since March, when he was fired from an apprenticeship for prolonged absence from work and classes.
Zohran Mamdani is now being pressed on whether he still backs Gordillo, while Gordillo and the New York City Democratic Socialists of America did not respond to Fox News Digital requests for comment.
