Your contributions were great But I wonder why you focused on the city of Houston they only had 2 1/2 days of below freezing temperatures when West Texas suffered for 10 consecutive days and we have barely to this day on February 22 been able to get Water to our whole entire city

Ironic...she was no where to be found when covid first hit NY. So glad she was able to get her vaccine though

Huh

Now 5

While Ted Cruz goes on holiday

Watts upj from Pensacola FL! I'm so proud of you so. You've done more for texas,than that punkass dude Cruz. Keep upj the good work baby girrrl. 👍

TroubledDays But no medicare for all? Lame.

tuckercarlson seanhannity breitbartnews trish_regan

As a New Yorker, I just wanted to say I’m proud of you.

Thử tìm một top, kết bạn làm quen !

Money from where ?

She did better than that for looters and vandals

Self Serving viper

Maybe she will learn the power of volunteerism and stop insisting the government take everyone's money by force?

Typical leftist political 'grandstanding' on AOC's part.....doesn't she have enough problems in her own district of New York to contend with anyway....!? Her charity should begin at home while her own constituents struggle, starve and are homeless on the streets....

AOC we need one of you in every state❣️ We can’t even get access to healthcare in rural Ks, nurse practitioners can’t practice w/o hand-cuffs, no Medicaid Expansion, hospitals close out west KansasGOP are moronic KansasDems we can & must do better; we must awaken Kansans

5 million. Catch up.

$5,000,000 now...

It's now at least $4,000,000..

Future President!

$5million

Follow the 💵

All I can say is she impresses me regularly with her political savvy and her innate compassion for people.

And all Cruz raised was a carton of water. TedCruzisADisgrace

What a strong woman can do! Thank you AOC

TeamCornyn and SenTedCruz =AWOL

Hey Ted take notice this is how a congress women takes your ass needs to be more like her I bet no I know that she’s a better person than you

Now up to $5,0000,000

How about Ted Cruz? What did he raise, the Texans anger or his co.k?

Where’s John Cornyn? JohnCornyn WhereIsJohnCornyn

News: something positive! Comments: Here’s why she sucks and why we refuse to acknowledge her doing something good for human beings.

❤️❤️❤️

😂😂😂😂

Good for her

Thank you, how much did Cruz and Cornyn raise? Bad question sorry, all that those 2 Senators raise is Division.

💪

THAT IS WHAT LIBERALS DO , THEY HELP PEOPLE

Weird how a representative from NY raises money for people suffering in TX and a bunch or Republicans on Twitter got offended...

Does she understand Cruz makes laws Where I'd POTUS

It’s a shame her president couldn’t do a damn thing to help 🖕🖕🖕🖕

Politicians talk leaders walk 🌗

Proud if this lady. She knew what needed done and did it. We need more like her.

MADE TED CRUZ LOOK LIKE A BITCH. STRONGPUERTORICANWOMAN

$4 million+

Where's the money? Proof?

Thank you very much

Political BS as usual.Let's see where the funds come from and where they go.

Some Texans would rather cut their own nose off to spite their own face. Very dad.

Even Rep. Ocasio-Cortez HUMANITARIAN efforts are CRITICIZED among some GOP members, who are BLINDED by PARTISANSHIP!!!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I think it tops 4 million now!!! And NO AOC isn't doing it to make SenTedCruz look 'BAD' . He does and OUTSTANDING job on his own. She is doing it because of people in need and she is a passionate and kind human being.

Ppl won’t be great full especially republicans

Love AOC, she's awesome!

How much Did Ted Cruise raise? Ohhhh yeah...ZERO, ZIP NADA.

Great! That'll pay 300 people's $10,000 electric bills... 😜🤪🤣🤣🤪😜

And what did Cruz raise?.

The sad part is that Republicans will continue to hate her.

AOC is doing more for Texans than the negligence of their elected & appointed government. Luckily we have an adult in White House whose concern for Americans eclipses the Republican response.

And tedcruz is a pile of 💩

Aoc is such a great successor to Bernie and I think she can achieve even more than bernie ever could because she doesn't give ground . That's what frustrated me during 2020 bernie gave in to the bernie bro narrative msm pushed and he lost steam as a result

Odd Isn't It!, A NY Congresswoman rolled up her sleeves,Brainstormed on How 2Assist American Citizens in time of need,PACKED Her bags &Flew to the Disaster!While a TX Senator Packed his Boogaloo Hawaii Shirt and FLED the Disaster! Says ALOT!! CancunCruz TedFled AOCRockStar

AOC and Sheila Jackson Lee only care about increasing their power in politics not helping Texas. Nice photo op at the food bank

Maybe Paloci should start grooming her to take over the party.

Be careful girl you are in the middle of red country. Even with their woes they will remain Republicans.

If she didn’t HATE CRUZ so much we all know she wouldn’t be there !

Hey Rafael tedcruz what do you think about this? AOC and Beto stepped in while your coward ass took off! YLaEstraShabo

So has other people but AOC does it for fame the rest of the people do it out of love AOC is a fake and she is fueled by GREED and LIES

How long before that money puts food on the table for the people?

Go AOC!!!

Are you taking notes RepBoebert? THIS IS WHAT A LEADER DOES! (we know YOU don't have a clue!) Class vs clueless! YOU GO RepAOC! Just go Boebert! Bye Felicia! lmao!🤣😂🤣😂 WTFacts?

Bragging about charity shows a lack of character. People dying isn't a photo op.

So it's not really about helping people it's more about politics?

A lot of bandwagon haters towards AOC who have no clue about her efforts and leadership as a politician. This relief aide is a prime example.

You mean the far left leaning group ActBlue raised the money. And it made the owners of ActBlue a very nice paycheck

How much is Cortez taking off the top? Scmbag AOC

Good work !! But Where Ted Cruz & that dump Trump! They only use people to their benefit . It’s called exploitation .

The chances of this woman EVER being elected POTUS are Slim to None & Slim is M.I.A., so she's doing this ONLY because she cares about ALL Americans.

Like Donald Trump, Aung San Suu Kyi stole votes

4 million now :)

Just imagine what SenTedCruz could have done had he stayed in the USA and helped the people of Texas instead of going to Mexico.

AOC Actually reached $4,000,000 I believe SundayShoutout to the grassroots & boots on the ground . PriceGouging peeps should hang their heads in shame

She still can’t serve a beer properly

What about you, Ted Cruz? How much have you raised for Texas relief efforts?

What about New York...

This illustrates how government fails people and private initiative and volunteerism are superior.

It’s Shame that no billionaire has stepped up to match what she has raised. No matter what other type of resources or ways they are helping, Step the F up!

That's good Rep. Ocasio Cortez raises 3M for relief in Texas, as long she doesn't flight to CAN-CUN to spend the 3M drinking PINA COLADA on the beach.

ya gotta love this girl , she's kicking Cruz's butt six ways from Sunday.

Too bad Texas senators aren’t helping their own people.

There she goes!!! On her way to Texas!

Over 4 million currently

Houston,, she will not help one person. This dip will find a way to keep this money

NBCLatino 👏👏

What did she do to raise $3 million?

Lies from the media...this is Soros money...don’t believe it folks.

I don’t remember her “blasting” Cruz. She made an accurate comment.

AOC GOP BoSnerdley MeetThePress WattersWorld Good for AOC; $3Mill for distraught Texans, fellow Americans. Uniting Americans

Meanwhile TX politicians are playing theater on Fox News; Always on Camera while their state is rampant with white collar crime

For me this is the difference between the two parties.... serving all Americans not just a hand picked few

allen_realtalk What has JohnCornyn done to help the people in Texas?

This is what I expect from our Congress members. An active role in helping Americans.

Thank you for sharing this story! Unity C'mon people Unity

You know what's next...Not Rep. Ocasio-Cortez BUT Senator AOC!!!

Even us Canadian’s know she is screwing Ted Cruz any way she can. I am sure she genuinely wants to help, but at the same time...................Love it!!!!

In the meanwhile, Cancun Cruz sipping tequila in mexico.

Too bad she won't help her own district. Always On Camera.

I hope Ted Cruz and other Republicans from Texas say thank you to her!

Certainly, her work and effort are very good and deserves to be appreciated, and it represents a good example for everyone.generally, it is part of the moral and humanitarian duty and responsibility of the elected representative for the people.and the crises remain the real test.

That is almost as much as she gave her boyfriend from political funds....wow🙄 Enjoy your vacation political stunt, now that it's warm again You gonna charter a private jet for this stunt, or you gonna fly with the peasants ms green deal?

U go girl

FitzBeatSr It's about time. I was beginning to wonder where all those sitting are capital hill were doing.

WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS?

Ted Cruz, Instead of just pleading and begging Biden for help, PUT ON A PAIR OF PANTS and follow her example: “Rep. Ocasio-Cortez raises more than $3,000,000 for relief efforts in Texas as of Friday afternoon before traveling to Houston to help in the recovery effort.”

More than words.

AOC brings money 💰 while TC runs to Mexico.

I love AOC’s humanitarian efforts. It’s a quality all of us lacked since trump took office

Take that, Mr. Cancun! You are a blessing AOC 💕👍🌈.

as usual it takes a democrat to bail out the dummies in Texas who voted for republicans to every position of power who did nothing for them. One took off to Cancun, another told them to stop looking for handouts. Are they 'owning the libs' yet? 😂😂

musicismymstres Hey New York!!! Texas here!! We’ll trade you WHATEVER YOU WANT for AOC! Anything!! You name it!

Damned Socialist feeding people in a preventable disaster. Wonder what it's like to go out of your way for people that called for unspeakable things to happen to you? Better person than I am!

NBC.... make up your mind, is it 2M or 3M?

Queer

If Cruz had any ingenuity, he'd start a contest. He too could raise money for Texas food banks. Everybody in Texas would win. But I guess that would draw too much attention to the need.

Good optics I suppose

I'm starting to regret any negative thing I might have ever said about Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez. RepAOC AOC

So none of the politicians of Texas did anything except leave for Mexico and point fingers at windmills. 😅🤡🤷‍♀️

While Cruz is out on vacation in cancun

new york helping texas. i love to see it.

Ted was figuring out what to do after returning from Mexico

Can someone check to see how much tedcruz has raised? Just wondering 💭

Cue the Republicans trying to spin this into something negative

You have posted this story at least 3 times today! I can only assume you have not gotten enough hate tweets. I bet you post again

You can disagree with AOC politically but there is zero doubt she is a better human being than tedcruz

She is amazing and caring. What a way to show true leadership and incitive ! When the going get tough Rep. Ocasio-Cortez brings the resource for relief.

She drips with “altruism”....

AOC tedcruz Ms Ocasio-Cortez raised 2million forTexas is it a rumor that AOC is NOT moving to Texas. Photo Is a Super Market-is in Austin Texas economy is 1.9 trillion is the second biggest in the US behind California. Mr.Cruz she’s about 2 take your Job

Hope she packs some shorts going to be in the 70s tomorrow

This is how you lead; this is how you help; this is how you represent!

I thought Fox “News” said it was okay for politicians to do nothing and go on vacations because what could they do anyway 🤔

Ted Cruz said Yes We Can can

Oh thank God, what took her so long to grab everyone's attention and put herself at the center?

Was every representative in Texas on vacation? It takes someone from NY to raise money. Unreal
