Ocasio-Cortez slams Trump's Puerto Rico comments: 'My own grandfather died'
By Justin Wise - 09/13/18 04:43 PM EDT

Democratic House candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday ripped President Trump's false claims about the death toll in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria, saying that her grandfather was one of the "uncounted" people to die as a result of the storm.

"My own grandfather died in the aftermath of the storm," Ocasio-Cortez, whose family has roots in Puerto Rico, tweeted. "Uncounted."

"Thousands of Puerto Ricans have similar stories," she added. "They have lost children, friends, & family members. Instead of finger-pointing, INVEST in the Marshall Plan for Puerto Rico + just transition to renewable energy."

I want to see proof she even had a grandfather in PR.  She lies like a rug.

First I want to see a Death Certificate or it didn't happen.  Second, if one is produced, I want to know if he died because the PR Government left a million or three bottles of water (which costs more per gallon than gasoline) sitting on the tarmac at a remote airport.

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
My grandfather died at sunrise. The sun killed my grandfather.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

One thing that apparently did happen in Puetro Rico ... the corrupt local government stashed all the donated water instead of distributing it.
