“Shameful that you live in luxury while allowing your own grandmother to suffer in these squalid conditions”
“AOC went and bought herself a Tesla while her grandmother lives in a shack with a collapsing ceiling. It never fails with these champagne socialists. They expect everyone else to make sacrifices while making none themselves.”
“When members of Congress get paid $174k/year and let their own abuelitas live in these kinds of conditions”

Development (HUD) officials;
The U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands will also receive large sums of money. However, due to concerns from the department about potential misuse of funds, the roughly $9 billion for the island nations devastated by Hurricane Maria will have to wait, likely meaning the funds will not be provided in time for the 2020 hurricane season.
"We're particularly concerned about the controls Puerto Rico had in place. Recent events have increased that risk even more," said one senior HUD official on a conference call with reporters Friday.
"[Puerto Rico is] already a high grantee, not just because of the past financial issues, but we're giving them $20 billion, which is larger than Louisiana received after [Hurricane] Katrina," the officials continued. "Right now, because of the government instability, we have serious concerns. We want to make sure we're pumping the brakes, that we're being prudent and that the money is being spent properly. I think we owe that to the American taxpayer."
