Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was slammed on Twitter Wednesday for not helping her grandmother and instead posting images of her dilapidated home in Puerto Rico and blaming Trump for not sending aid after Hurricane Maria.
Critics were quick to jump on the post questioning why the progressive congresswoman, who makes $174,000 and drives a Tesla, isn't sending money to help her grandmother.
'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,' Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
'This is her home,' she continued, posting two pictures of mostly-empty rooms where the ceiling is falling in.

Is that really her grandmother's house? Who knows? Maybe it is like the chain link fence in a parking lot where she is shedding tears over ghost children.

If she'll steal tips, she'll stiff her grandmother.

How did she get to Puerto Rico? She flew on a jet which used jet fuel. What a hypocrite!

How is this any different than the way Barack Obama treated his grandmother in Kenya who lived in a village without running water?

Ha Ha! This Chickie may have just given Republicans their best Campaign Ad yet! Just imagine,..a photo of AOC in a Tesla and a voice asking "how can she afford that car on $174,000 a year? Then fast forward to her "grandma's home in Puerto Rico and the voice is asking "why didn't she help her grandmother put her home back together after Hurricane Maria instead of buying a Tesla? Better yet, why didn't she bring her back to the U.S. and take care of her if she is ill? AOC, a Fraud. Here is the car she used to drive (add photo). Now that she is in Congress, THIS is the car she drives while her constituents drive 10 year old cars!! AOC! It's all about HER!

#4, Per diem and housing allowance. Honest, working folks, on the other hand, have to pay their entire way from their pay checks.

I doubt she personally paid a cent for the car, probably a gift from her campaign. Didn't they find secret where-houses full of US aid that hadn't been distributed by the governor?

AOC is a lying bi*ch. Supplies were sent to P.R. after the storms but languished in warehouses, not having been distributed to areas outside the urban areas. Corruption was involved. She is too stupid and partisan to even understand the real news that informed folks take in.

Trump sent massive amounts of aid to Puerto Rico after the hurricane. The governor and other government officials kept it in warehouses and handed it out to their friends and cronies. Your average Puerto Rican resident got squat.

She does know how to work the media. Republicans could take a lesson from here. I wish the media wouldn’t be so blatant about ignoring Republicans which just shows we need to step our media game way beyond the boring press statements from the geriatrics in Congress.

#13, she was a barmaid. FAR less skills than a bartender.

She isn't worried about grandma because most of the island is on welfare.
