Maxwell Frost said he might 'couch surf' after struggling to get DC apartment Frost will earn a $174,000 salary as a congressman next year Opened up about being denied an apartment due to bad credit He was 'denied from apartments... because I have bad credit' Frost said: 'I'm probably just going to have, like, couch surf for a little bit' The first Gen Z member of Congress was elected in the 2022 midterms

Maxwell Frost, the first member of Generation Z to be elected to Congress, said he will likely couch surf during his first days as a lawmaker in Washington, D.C. because he was denied apartment applications.

Apartment buildings in Washington, D.C. conduct credit checks and most require tenants to make triple the monthly salary that the apartment costs.

Frost, who will make a yearly salary of $174,000 as a House congressman, said that he was denied apartment applications because of his 'really bad' credit.

'Yeah, I mean, it's not cheap,' Frost, 25, told ABC's This Week on Sunday morning.

'I'm dealing with it right now, getting denied from apartments, trying to figure out where to live because I have bad credit,' he explained. 'I'm probably just going to have, like, couch surf for a little bit.'

He won’t be the first member of congress to share a house or apartment. I’ve always heard that city is very expensive.

Not to sound like a millennial douche, but he’s probably right in doing so. My identity got stolen by my own sister quite a while back and my credit got wrecked. Made renting a living hell and lived in a tent for a while as a result. I kept working and ended up saving for a not completely horrible shit hole apartment. It takes time and saving when your credit is hot trash

Didn’t a Utah congressman elect sleep on a cot in his congressional office some years back? I forget the guy’s name but used to see him on Faux New bloviating every once in awhile.

Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro let Rahm Emanuel live in her townhouse basement for free for five years. Maybe she’d do the same for a black guy.

Be a politician to belly on up to the public feeding bin. Be a banker to get rich off of banks. Same theory.

They get a free office, gym, access to the cafeteria, people who will by them meals off record providing they stand up to eat, probably free cable and internet, as well as health care ... probably didn’t spend a dime of his own money to get elected.

Job Number One of Congress is making wise decisions about highly complex, massive scale taxation and spending policy. So by all means, let’s install ore morons with zero economic or business knowledge, and no acommplishments except to ruin their own credit. How did he have the arrogance to run, and how did his constituents have IQ’s low enough to elect him?

But he’ll be rich after a year of grifting.

There are a number of Motel 6 properties in that area. He would pay between $65-100 per night, and they’ll leave the light on for him.

Somewhere, he did enough for the Deep State to get the nomination for a guaranteed election in a safe RAT seat.

That doesn't happen by accident.

Are these writers paid by the word?

In case you missed it, the dude makes $174,000 per year, apartments conduct credit checks, he has bad credit, and he might couch surf.

If you didn’t get any of that, the author will repeat it five more times for you.
