AOC Raises $2M In 24 Hours & Has Done More For Texans Amid Winter Storm Disaster Than Sen. Ted Cruz

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has helped raise more than $2 million in less than 24 hours to help bring relief to the state of Texas, which was devastated this week by deadly winter storms.

On Thursday evening, OcasioCortez announced she was partnering with several Texas charities and encouraged her millions of Twitter followers to donate money to help residents in Texas reeling from widespread power outages, water shortages and freezing temperatures. []

So where the heck was Sen. Ted Cruz in the midst of all of this? Oh yeah that's right he had fled to Cancún, Mexico and left millions of Texas freezing in the dark.
