Matt Walsh totally makes AOC his bitch.
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.

Surprising precisely no one, Toothy McBigTits is playing pretty fast and loose with the truth when she blames Trump for “blocking” aid money for the Porto Reecan kleptocracy.
Two officials with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) acknowledged during a hearing this week that the agency knowingly stalled sending hurricane relief funding to Puerto Rico after missing a legally required deadline to do so.
HUD’s chief financial officer, Irv Dennis, and David Woll, the department’s principal deputy assistant secretary for community planning and development, appeared before a House Appropriations subcommittee for a hearing on Thursday.
The officials said that the agency missed a deadline issued by Congress to start a process to help Puerto Rico receive billions in federal housing funds that Congress had allocated after Hurricane Maria hit the island in 2017.
“All of us at HUD stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Puerto Rico,” Woll said during the hearing. “At HUD we are committed to the recovery of all Americans whose homes and communities were devastated by natural disasters, and we are steadfast in our stewardship of the funding and trust in us by you in your colleagues in Congress.”
However, the officials’ defense did little to placate Democrats.
Yeah, I bet so. Nothing ever seems to, does it?
Progressives point out problems, and conservatives solve them. Two days ago, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) tweeted about visiting her grandmother in Puerto Rico. She tweeted out pictures of a sparsely furnished home with buckets on the floor and portions of the roof falling into the living space.
Ocasio-Cortez blames the state of her abuela’s home on Hurricane Maria and President Trump withholding aid. The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh points out the obvious:
Follows, a pithy Tweet from Walsh saying: “Shameful that you live in luxury while allowing your own grandmother to suffer in these squalid conditions.” But Matt wasn’t done yet, not by a long yard.
As you’ve heard, @AOC’s abuela is living in a dilapidated home that was ravaged by Hurricane Maria. AOC is unable to help her own grandma for whatever reason, so I have set up this Go Fund Me campaign to save her home. Please give if you can. #HelpAbuela https://t.co/F1N0Jxgnxg

Of course, his Daily Wire colleagues stepped up and then challenged other members of their network to do the same…
Dave Rubin and Dan Bongino jumped in. Elon Musk and Adam Carolla don’t seem to have tweeted today. Ben Shapiro challenged Glenn Beck, Clay Travis, and Steven Crowder to join and promote the fundraiser. Other Daily Wire staff got involved, including Candace Owens and Emily Zanotti. At least 3,200 people have donated as of this writing, and the fundraiser is well over the original goal of $48,990.
Matt’s ¡SAVE MI ABUELA! fundraiser rapidly raised more than a hundred grand from generous, big-hearted Rightwing Nazi Hitlerbeasts before GoFundMe called a halt.
GoFundMe has disabled donations to a fundraiser organized by The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh meant to help Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) grandmother repair her home in Puerto Rico, which was damaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017.
In an email sent to Walsh Friday night, GoFundMe said they were “in touch with the beneficiary’s family and they made clear 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 added.
The message from GoFundMe appears to suggest that it may not have been Ocasio-Cortez’s grandmother who directly refused the funds, but someone else in the family.
More than 5,800 people pledged to help Ocasio-Cortez’s grandmother, raising just over $100,000 in 10 hours before the fundraiser was shut down. All this in response to the congresswoman suggesting that rather than taking direct action to help her grandmother, the most important role she played in the situation was to decry “systematic injustice.”
Walsh wraps the whole sad, sorry affair up.
“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,” Walsh added. “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.”
Myself, I’m still praying that AOC will soon realize that her proper place is on the pole, bobbling those fun-bags for an enraptured audience while keeping her yap firmly shut.

One thing I will say about the left: they never, ever, EVER stop pushing the party line. Toothy McBigTits is still pushing the ‘Trump withheld hurricane aid from the poor little brown people’ lie. The bureaucracy sabotaged and blocked it, the kleptocrats in PR pocketed and sold much of the generous aid that was delivered, while most of the rest was left to spoil in the heat. Anyone who has bothered to look into the situation knows all of this. But like so many other lies, the ‘Trump did it, that big meanie!’ meme is now something every leftist “knows” to be true.
PR should be cut loose to survive (or not) as an independent entity. Instead the Dems will turn them into a state and more guaranteed Dem votes in congress.
Matt Walsh starts a fund raiser to take up a collection to aid an enemy on the Left who would cheer at seeing him dead and his family enslaved. Meanwhile, Walsh has never done shit to support anyone on the Right who might be actually doing something constructive against the Left.
Looks to me like AOC owned him.
Nah, I can’t quite agree on this one, ‘Bear. For one thing, I doubt too many people other than the most fanatical of Leftards would fail to be at least somewhat discomfited by AOC pretty much throwing her precious “abuela” under the bus, whining instead about how the gub’mint ought to take care of Gramma. Refusing to rise to the occasion and stick by family when they need your help just isn’t a good look for anybody, much less using Nana to score cheap political points on Trump. Plus, it satisfies not just one but two of Alinsky’s Rules:
I damned sure enjoyed Walsh’s gambit; I laughed my ass off at it, and I’m sure I was hardly alone in that. He made a fool out of Toothy McBigTits–admittedly not a difficult thing to do–and since she rejected the funds it won’t cost anybody on our side a dime. I can’t see that as anything but a win, myself.
Wake me up when Matt Walsh and the staff of the Daily Wire start a fundraiser for the family of Cannon Hinton, Mike. Or for Kyle Rittenhouse. Or for the families of the casualties of the Las Vegas shooting. Or for… need I go on?
Don’t give money to people who hate you and want to see you dead, your family enslaved, and your culture and civilization destroyed. Not even as a stunt.
Do support the people on your side, and those who are trying to build alternate infrastructure and institutions on the Right.
The Left knows they’re hypocrites. They don’t care. They consider it a feature, not a bug. “Pwning” them is a waste of time and effort.
It don’t get much more simple than this.
You kno wvery well that if AOC ever does the pole, she will have her mouth open just as Kamala did when working Willy’s pole!!!
