AOC, Beto O'Rourke Raise $5 Million for Texas, Dems Staff Houston Food Bank New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined several Democratic lawmakers at a Houston food bank Saturday as she and former Texas Representative Beto O'Rourke amassed about $5 million in total so far to help Texans struggling amid winter storms. Millions of Texas residents remain without water or heating, prompting the current and former Democratic congressional members to spearhead fundraising campaigns through ActBlue. The outpouring of charitable efforts by O'Rourke and Ocasio-Cortez formed a stark comparison to Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who has faced a torrent of criticism since photos emerged of him on a flight to Cancun, Mexico, as the state fell into a paralyzing deep freeze. https://www.newsweek.com/aoc-beto-orourke-raise-5-million-texas-dems-staff-houston-food-bank-1570835
I respect someone who admits they made a mistake/misspoke. I've learned not to expect that from the far right though.
Oh you’re right. She didn’t demand to be let in. She postured outside without demanding. My bad. Pretty neat that you’re low-key calling me far right. I’d expect nothing more from the far left.
That's 13 organizations. If I donate $13 then after salaries and "administrative" costs each organization,action gets s dime. After all AOC needs to have a new designer outfit for each photo op. Maybe she can gets some tips from the Kardashians
I’m surprised she’s going to volunteer in Texas. Especially since she said that Ted Cruz wants to kill her.
You kinda brought that on yourself by repeating lies you could only have read on right wing kook sites. As to your begrudging admission of error, it's not much ,but I guess I can't expect more considering your circumstances. I'm actually surprised you admitted that much...well done. Maybe you're beginning to realize the extent and the depth you've been lied to by Trump, the GQP, and the right wind kook sites.
I’m not foolish enough to believe any politician. I vote to keep my right bear arms and freedom of speech from being trampled. You wanna pretend I’m some extremist that has concocted a story because of your refusal to believe that AOC wouldn’t use something to make herself look good. I haven’t shown you anything. You, however, have shown that no matter what, you will allow that little letter to finger bang your turd cutter, just as long as they look like sweethearts doing it. You have become what you hate. A conspiracy theorist. You asked what she’s done for likes, and I showed you. Now I’m a faithful far right trumpster? Nice jump there.
Like the late and unlamented @Rex you’re a one note propagandist. You would rather make a point than have open discussion. I agree Cruz is a shit and his trip to Mexico was idiotic. However you bring the dog up that even the article you cite says is being looked after. I know you just joined the forum but for discussion purposes what did you think of Gavin Newsome’s French Laundry dinner or Nancy Pelosi’s hair appointment both in the middle of lock downs. On a more substantive note how had Andrew Cuomo handled Covid and the exposure of his lies and bullying? Hopefully the money will do some good. However why did she have to make so much noise about it? There are many so called “right wing “ groups down there actually putting work in to help. The Cajun Navy and multiple right wing church groups have pack up everything they can afford and traveled on their own dime to help. That’s the true spirit of community and helping neighbors. How much of her own money did she contribute? What AOC did was to get political points and publicity. When she actually puts her own skin the the game and does something to help people without capitalizing on the political and publicity she’ll get more respect.
He knows in his heart of hearts she did it because she wants to help. For no other reason. And you better have a link. Because if anyonecanwriteablog.com didn’t write about it, you can’t call bullshit
