Other Twitter users took issue with the political aspect of AOC’s story.

“So you agree, the government is incompetent with getting relief $ to the people and would be better done through voluntarily contributions?” asked the Libertarian Party of Tennessee’s official account.

“I just spent a week in Puerto Rico: everywhere from San Juan to eastern coast and western coast,” another user chimed in. “I never spoke to a single resident that thought anything was Trumps fault but instead LITERALLY EVERYONE said the Puerto Rican government sucks”.

“Cousins in San Juan say that the local government is taking the money and not doing anything,” another user agreed. “He described it as what Wyclef did with the Haiti relief money. Are you willing to investigate that?”

Ocasio-Cortez fired back at Walsh, saying: “You don’t even have a concept for the role that 1st-gen, first-born daughters play in their families. My abuela is okay. But instead of only caring for mine & letting others suffer, I’m calling attention to the systemic injustices you seem totally fine w/ in having a US colony.”

“You used your grandmother’s suffering to score political points. You’re the one who publicized this,” Walsh retorted. “So I am entitled now to ask why you haven’t bothered to fix your grandmother’s collapsing roof or buy her some new furniture? Why are you waiting for the government to do it?”

Besides all those points, she was wrong that trump sent no aid. Many of the anti-Trump politicians withheld the aid for their own PR citizens.

Title I Property Improvement loans I believe can be made on Puerto Rican homes.

I’m not sure if any lender is approved to do so.

I think it’s pretty hypocritical of AOC to complain of loss of ‘ancestoral homes’ when she actively encourages invasion of the ancestoral home of another nation, i.e., America.

We should never, ever send money to these types of governments. If they need help, send people to help. But for some reason those in charge becomes millionaires and billionaires after getting our money.

Lavern Spicer chimed in. “If your grandmother is living poor that’s because you don’t help her out. I’m surprised that a socialist wouldn’t redistribute that wealth to their grandma.

Oh, that’s gotta leave a mark.
