In all sincerity, she should donate that money to charities in her own district, which has about as many unemployed people as there are Texans without power.
Political grandstanding at its worst. About as genuine as Ted Cruz's apology.
Tell that to the people she actually benefitted with real help. I wish more politicians would grandstand like this. You live in a sad worldChipoople said:

Agreed - regardless of motives.Oldbear83 said:
Good for AOC.
Well done.
Very nice.Booray said:
Raised over 2 million for Texas charities working the front line of storm relief. Maybe Ted could take a lesson?

Agreed...and there's going to be strings attached....GrowlTowel said:
She also announced that Ted Cruz tried to have her killed.
Call me skeptical but raising 2 million in less than 2 days seems fishy. It took JJ Watt longer to raise the same during the flood and he has a much greater following.
Would like to see the books on this in a couple of months.

Nah., she's smarter than that. AOC does not know enough about power transmission to touch the issue without looking dumb. She would lose the cred she has built upDnicknames said:
She is going to come to Houston and say perhaps Texas should have been building an electric grid instead of a wall.
And the MAGA group is going to lose their minds.

The State of Texas was building a wall? That's news to me.Dnicknames said:

But she can help real people, stay out of Texas, and smile as Ted Cruz and other politicians try to explain their behavior while AOC was doing something to really help.
How do you figure that? Republicans have had control of Texas for decades and refused to winterize power plants. You can't blame this on renewables. This disaster is the failure of prioritizing profits over people's lives.Carlos Safety said:Dnicknames said:

That probably won't happen, Dicknames. This is a 7 day trial period of what AOCs America looks like. Most of us will take a pass.

Agreed. She's still an existential threat to freedom, but kudos where kudos are due. Still think she's kinda cute...
