Matt Walsh’s Campaign To Save Ancestral Home Of AOC’s Abuela Raises More Than $10,000 In One Hour
A campaign organized by Daily Wire columnist Matt Walsh to save AOC's
abuela’s home in Puerto Rico raised more than $10,000 in one hour.
AOC posted a tweet Wednesday blaming President Donald Trump for the dilapidated state of her grandma's shack. She included photos of her
abuela’s home, which had minimal furniture, buckets on the floor and a ceiling that was falling apart.
Social media roasted AOC, a self-proclaimed socialist, for not stepping up to help her own grandmother.
Walsh also chimed in, telling AOC that it is “shameful that you live in luxury while allowing your own grandmother to suffer in these squalid conditions.”
Walsh announced on Friday that he set up a GoFundMe to help Ocasio-Cortez’s grandmother.
“As you’ve heard, @AOC’s
abuela is living in a dilapidated home that was ravaged by Hurricane Maria,” he said on Twitter.
“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”.
"I will kick things off by donating $499, which happens to be the cost of a monthly lease payment for a Tesla. I challenge President Trump to match this donation. Together we can change the world."
“I decided to start the GoFundMe because AOC’s
abuela is in dire need and unfortunately AOC seems unable to help even though she’s a single woman earning a six figure income,” Walsh told the Daily Caller in a statement. “I realize that Tesla’s are pretty expensive, and she just bought one, so maybe that explains it. Whatever the case, someone had to step up and help out.”
