Doc Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 This is great. Apparently AOC's abuela's home in PR was damaged during Hurricane Maria (almost 4 years ago) and AOC claims she still hasn't gotten the money to fix it because of, you guessed it, Trump. Despite the fact that AOC is a Congress critter and has money now, she's been making dear old abuela live in "squalid conditions" the whole time. Well conservative commentator Matt Walsh felt bad and started a GoFundMe page for abuela and it raised over $100K in 11 hours. But it was shut down because abuela apparently doesn't want that money, she wants government money. If that doesn't sum almost everything up, I don't know what does.

People are living I terrible conditions from the storm. The same storm that Trump used as a photo op. AOC has money. Her abuela is fine. She has said as much. It’s not about her abuela needing help but all the other parts of the country needing help. Some right wing idiot makes a GoFundMe to troll AOC. If AOC accepts the money, her abuelas home is better (again not needed as AOC said she’s fine) but what about the rest of Puerto Rico? It’s sad how dumb the right has become.

Smollett and AOC are basically admitting that they are making up stories, that manipulate people’s emotions, just to push an agenda...kinda hard to respect that kind of behavior, regardless what side of the aisle you’re on...

I see Joe has been right on it since he took office... Where is the lie? These are her tweets from June 2nd on it. She even said her abuela was fine in those tweets!: Just over a week ago, my abuela fell ill. I went to Puerto Rico to see her- my 1st time in a year+ bc of COVID. This is her home. Hurricane María relief hasn’t arrived. Trump blocked relief $ for PR. People are being forced to flee ancestral homes, & developers are taking them. We immediately got to work reaching out to community advocates and leaders and following the money. What’s happening to Puerto Ricans is systemic. Much of it can be traced to La Junta, aka the Wall Street-connected fiscal control board that the US gave power to over the island. In the aftermath of María, the Trump admin oversaw two key items: handing millions in public $ to unqualified donor pals (ex Whitefish). The other was to impose extremely difficult eligibility rules for Puerto Ricans, which allowed mass rejections of recovery fund applications. I want to be clear - while Trump admin had a major role, it wasn’t just them. La Junta, local policies, etc were all on the same page: policies that pushed out local families. To turn this around, we need audits & get recovery relief to people ASAP, without the onerous strings. And for the record - my abuela is doing okay. It’s not about us, but about what’s happening to Puerto Rican’s across the island. She had a place to go to and be cared for - what about the thousands of people who don’t? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s got a point, government tends to be rife with corruption. Seems like that is certainly the case with all these democrats that were running PR... That why the less of it there is the better. Also, for those of us that have ever had weather damage to property, can’t imagine sitting around waiting for the government to fix it for me. Talk about being an unmotivated bum.

Unforgiven Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) has she done anything notable outside of bitching about trump, white people, and rich people? For someone who ***** so much about america she gets a nice big fat check for it. Seriously she's either really stingy and/or doesn't give a crap about her abuela or is so demented she would rather granny suffered as long as she is able to keep her bull#### trump narrative alive. Another lefty who is helping Trump, and is so dimwitted doesn't realize it. Edited June 6, 2021 by Unforgiven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I demanded you retract all the braindead things you've said... The fact is that she claimed her abuela's home was run down and you claimed it/she was fine. So IOW...she lied. If she didn't lie, she should have been spending the money to fix her abuela's house instead of waiting for the corrupt PR government to do it. Joe's admin released $8B on April 20th and here it is over a month-and-a-half later and still abuela's and other's houses haven't been fixed. How much of that $8B do you think will actually get to the people who need it? Trump is no longer in office so that dog don't hunt.

Just admit you didn’t read the initial posts, you jumped on a story that was really purely propaganda and you fell for it. She called out how Trump admin saw funds go to Trump people. It’s probably the lasting legacy of Trump is Americans hard earned money going to Trump/Trump people. Why not call for an audit on how the funds were used? Don’t forget this was a President that thought it was ok to use a non-for-profits funds to buy Tim Tebow crap and then was told he can’t have an NFP anymore. 3 hours ago, Chef Jim said: Why?
