Since recently learning of the term “progressive privilege,” I am now seeing example after example. It might be time to start collecting those examples, here...
first one I noticed was Ilhan Omar: Married her brother as part of a not-so-elaborate immigration scheme, was investigated for it, the investigation found ample evidence, but because she is female and Muslim (which reasons are definitely not stated), it has been decided she will not be prosecuted.

One classic example is Hillary Clinton not being prosecuted for her handling of classified material on her personal server. A first draft of James Comey's announcement used the term "grossly negligent", which might have led to an indictment and prosecution. That wording was changed to "extremely careless", which means much the same thing in English, but not in legalese. His revised choice of words let her off the hook. thehill.com/homenews/senate/358982-early-comey-memo-accused-clinton-of-gross-negligence-on-emails |

Yeah, but Comey wagged his finger pretty damn hard at her.

I think this qualifies as progressive privilege. Go protest on someone else's street? Some houses / streets are more equal than others?

Mayor Gollum is a sidekick to our Governor Pritzker. he lives in his mansion in Chicago instead of in the Governors mansion in Springfield... so the two invariably appear at each other’s press conferences. I swear there are times you can almost see his hand in her back, making her mouth move... |

This is going over really well with everyone commenting on Twitter. So far, no liberals or media outlets sees a problem with this.
They really must be OK with subjugating themselves.

"I have a right to..." Didn't she use the same phrase to justify her "right" to go to a hair salon, after forbidding everyone else to do so? |

Don’t have the same rights she has; and 2. Don’t know what rights she has until she tells us, So there’s that |

Some people's wages and businesses are more essential than others.

Come on, guys. It's a well known fact of life that anyone who uses that much hair gel to grease his way through life is probably lying every time his lips move. He looks like every slimy lawyer whose image ever graced the side of a bus or the back of a sidewalk bench.
