The alleged aunt of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threw a wrench in the New York Democrat's narrative about Puerto Rico, telling a reporter recently that former President Donald Trump is, in fact, not to blame for troubles on the island.
Fearless with Jason Whitlock What is the background? After recently visiting her grandmother in Puerto Rico, Ocasio-Cortez posted a photo of her abuela's home still in disarray after Hurricane Maria devastated the island in 2017. She blamed Trump for allegedly blocking relief funds from reaching the island.
"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," Ocasio-Cortez said.
"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," she alleged.

What did AOC's tía say?
A reporter from the Daily Mail recently tracked down the house belonging to Ocasio-Cortez's grandmother, and when the reporter approached the house, a person outside the house identified themselves as Ocasio-Cortez's aunt.
That same person rebuffed Ocasio-Cortez's assertion that Trump is at fault for conditions in Puerto Rico.

DOH! 2😅😅😅👍
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnndd................. nobody but conservatives who actually do any research will ever hear of this. The pimps who masquerade as journalists who are also soros whores will bury it.
No holds barred steel cage match for those two. With the main event Pelosi (”I’m a fighter.”) versus anyone in the Squad.
We have to settle these things. Our country cannot go on divided against itself like this.
Replace AOC with her aunt.
Future Cortez family reunions ought to be fun.
Is AOC going to cancel her aunt?
The grandmother is probably the Aunt’s meal ticket.Grandma can’t leave the island if she wanted too.the corruption in PR is terrible.
If (San Juan mayor) Carmen Yulín Cruz was blocking federal relief money from getting to the people it was intended for, wouldn’t the local newspapers in Puerto Rico be interested in covering that story?
I hope they don’t settle it through Arkancide. 😀
Did AirheadOCommie do a crying photoshoot in front of granny’s driveway?
Back to your saloon baby.
So her aunt will stand on this truth:
Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.--David Mamet.
That bish should be in prison.
I’ve looked at the pic and I’d say, a crew of six of her dancing on the rooftop friends, and about 10K, could fix all those issues and get granny a new rocking chair to boot. But that would take showing leadership, initiative and a sense of duty to take care of family that changed her diapers, traits baa-baa-Cortez is sorely lacking
I was IN Puerto Rico post hurricane and they did NOT blame Trump.
They blamed their own politicians for flat out stealing the billions in aid that rained down on them and for mismanaging what aid was able to make it there.
That is a GOOD idea!
I hate these wildly exaggerated titles. I read the article(I know against FR tradition). She didn’t “crush” anything.
Alleged aunt? I stopped reading right there. Do your homework Glen or you don’t get to play with the big boys.
