I Raised $100k To Fix AOC’s Abuela’s Home. The Money Was Rejected. Here’s What
That Tells Us.

I would normally say it is unseemly to brag about one’s charitable endeavors,
but there are important lessons to be learned in this case, so I will make an
exception.



As you may have heard, last Friday I launched a fundraising campaign for
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s dear abuela. I was moved to take this
generous step after AOC took to Twitter to post photos of her grandmother’s
dilapidated home in Puerto Rico. She suggested that her abuela had been living
in this ungodly squalor, with a collapsing ceiling and buckets all over the
floor to catch the rain water, ever since Hurricane Maria hit the island four
years ago. AOC also suggested that the horrid condition of abuela’s casa is
Trump’s fault.  



I responded to helpfully remind the congresswoman that she is a wealthy and
famous politician with a Tesla and two luxury apartments. Couldn’t she spare a
few thousand dollars to patch abuela’s ceiling? She quickly retorted — “clapped
back,” as the left-wing blogs put it — and claimed that her focus is not just
on her grandmother but on the systemic injustices afflicting the people of
Puerto Rico. Notably, she still did not promise that she would personally pay
to fix her grandmother’s ceiling. I knew that I had to act.
