AOC blamed Trump for not sending relief to repair her abuela's Puerto Rico home after Hurricane Maria
--------
Conservative commentator Matt Walsh revealed on Saturday that the "family" of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's grandmother will not be accepting the money he raised to repair her home after the New York Democrat blamed former President Donald Trump for blocking aid that was supposed to be sent to Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria.
Walsh took to Twitter and shared an email he received from the GoFundMe Trust & Safety Team, who informed him that they had been in communications with the "beneficiary's family," who made it clear that "they will not be accepting the funds raised."
"When a beneficiary doesn't want to accept the funds that have been raised on their behalf, it is standard practice to turn off donations, then refund all donors," GoFundMe told Walsh.
"UPDATE: ‘someone’ in AOC’s abuela’s family told GoFundMe that she won’t take the money, even though AOC previously claimed that her grandma was in dire straits (and it was Trump’s fault)," Walsh tweeted Saturday morning. "@AOC still hasn’t acknowledged this effort or thanked us."
Walsh continued: "Tragically this charitable effort has been sabotaged by forces outside of our control. Still I’m grateful for the outpouring of support for abuela, even if AOC isn’t. But questions remain: Why didn’t AOC help her own abuela? Why was our help turned down? We are left to speculate. In the end, our campaign raised 100 thousand dollars and could have solved a problem in ten hours that AOC couldn’t solve in four years. We can all be proud of that. As for abuela, all we can do now is pray."

My view is in the minority here, but
IMO, the Republicans who organized and donated look like fools and suckers.
Is there a real live granny or no? More crying into an empty parking lot, huh, AOC?
Who’d let their grandma live in dire straights? AOC should sell her shoe collection and pay for repairs and a full pantry.
Abuela’s family = AOC
Why? Her pic was actually a Democratic Party fundraiser plea. So they gave directly to the person she said was in need. Abuela. Then she refused. Exposed. They pulled the same crap with BLM. A lot of people thought that money was for black people. Wrong, dems took it all.
Does AOC even have an aunt in PR?
Just don’t give it to Rashida Tlaib’s granny in the West Bank! They like to lament their granny’s don’t they?
If they won’t accept it then donate to Trump’s political organization/campaign or whatever.
Lol, that was my thought too, the next door neighbor or split it to both sides of her. :)
They won’t let her forget it. A G-Ma would never let AOC forget it.
All the funds received will be returned. So no one will be out any money.
AOC has been exposed as a fraud. Mission accomplished.

Zactly.
Didn’t she say that she used to visit her abuela often. I’d love to get a look at her travel records.
They had some guy named Michael Cohen’s in 20 minutes.
Of course, if they got hers and exposed her she’d say it was breach of national security that someone got her records and they should be buried under the prison.
That’s what needs to be found out.
Expose her for the fraud she is.
Dem leadership should be seizing on this opportunity to get rid of her, but I guess they need her to deflect for them.
AOC is making $174,000 a year and drives a Tesla while living in an exclusive neighborhood in D.C. With all the kickbacks congress critters get she’s undoubtedly a multi-millionaire by now. Why hasn’t she paid to put a roof on her grandmother’s house by now? She can certainly afford it. Does she care nothing for her grandmother?
