If the grandmother of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has suffered in Puerto Rico since Hurricane Maria in 2017, then Puerto Rican politicians are to blame, not former President Trump.

That’s the assessment of an aunt of the New York Democrat, who was interviewed in Puerto Rico by Britain’s Daily Mail.

...when a Daily Mail reporter visited Rivera’s home this week, a woman there who claimed to be AOC’s aunt said the congresswoman’s story wasn’t accurate.

The aunt noted that the Category 5 hurricane caused extensive damage to the island – but insisted Trump wasn’t to blame for residents struggling to receive aid.

True. I’m betting her whole family thinks she’s a spoiled brat and can’t stand being around her.

On a side note I’d love to see a little research done as to just how bad off the grandmother is and how often the congresswoman has visited her.

That’s exactly what we’ve been saying since they tried to pin this on Trump. Every day my disgust & hatred of the Dumbocrat party grows.

I'm wondering if she's ever even met that part of the family in person.

there were published stories about all the aid coming in and never leaving the warehouses - food rotting while sitting on the wharf’s. There were US Navy ships sent to each city around the island to give assistance. All of the stories disappeared from the media once published. We have a very dishonest media.

AOC needs a personal guided trip to all the warehouses where supplies were stored-—and NEVER used.
