Conservative commentator Matt Walsh has raised more than $50,000 for US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s grandmother — after the pol was slammed on Twitter for not helping her “abuela’’ enough
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had tweeted a thread Thursday depicting the conditions of her grandmother’s home, which was damaged during Hurricane Maria in 2017 — taking aim at the Trump administration for blocking aid to Puerto Rico.
Walsh was among those quick to fire back at the progressive lawmaker, alleging she was allowing her grandmother to “suffer” in “squalid conditions” while she herself lived in posh comfort
Shortly after, Walsh facetiously launched the GoFundMe, stating that “One cannot be certain of the cost to repair grandma’s house, but surely most of the work could be completed for the price of AOC’s shiny Tesla Model 3.”
As of Friday late afternoon, the fundraiser had received $56,448 in donations.

Just curious, what did AOC do to help her grandma?
She tried to get her federal aid but the money got lost
That’s why dems are so rich..They expect other people to waste their money on humanity.....
Means nothing on election day when the Rats multiply and steal the vote.
She told her she'd like to help, but mean orange man wouldn't buy her a Tesla and $500 shoes. She probably sent her grandma a link to apply for handouts, which is the only solution a communist can see.
Up to 80k now. She’s gonna have a palace. Will she invite the donkey show bimbo to visit?
I call this elder abuse. No excuse for this neglect while AOC 2 apartments.
Just don’t put it in the Clinton/Bush fund.
Probably as little as Obama did to help his mom, whose supposed struggles at the end of her life he used to push through Obamacare.
One of my favorite episode of Breaking Bad is Crazy Handful of Nothin’ (S1E6).
Also, Cortez is a biznach!
The Lakers lost to Phoenix last night. And now this!
All in all a good day!
This is a bit unsettling. I gave money to Michael Flynn’s defense which was clearly struggling for funds during the witch hunt, but conservatives jump for joy to throw in money for this, doesn’t feel right.
Sad. Truly sad that these are the folks that supposedly represent conservatism. I really don't know why the libs spend any time attacking them since they are 90% of the way toward the progressive agenda.
I would donate to Granny if AOC and I could reach an oral agreement. Those teeth don’t scare me.
Actually, this is how charity should be done. By the community and on a voluntary basis. When taken from taxpayers by government officials and then given to others, it is no longer charity, it is theft.
