Matt Walsh Launches 'Personal Attack' on AOC

Helping Ocasio-Cortez's grandmother by raising $100,000 for her to repair her hurricane-ravaged home in Puerto Rico is not an attack. It's a blessing. It seems like Ocasio-Cortez's grandma must not be in such bad shape after all.

Democrats in Puerto Rico, See 'Hamilton'



From the Washington Examiner:
Some 30 Democratic lawmakers left the government shutdown behind Friday on a chartered flight to Puerto Rico for a winter retreat with 109 lobbyists and corporate executives during which they planned to see the hit Broadway show “Hamilton” and attend three parties including one with the show’s cast.

Those attending the Congressional Hispanic Caucus BOLD PAC winter retreat in San Juan planned to meet with key officials to discuss the cleanup after Hurricane Maria at a roundtable Saturday.

But the weekend is packed with free time for the members and their families on the trip.

...The event is taking place in a seaside resort where rooms go for $429 a night. Food is being provided.

BOLD PAC, the political arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, chartered a 737 for members, their families, and chiefs of staff to attend the weekend. The memo said the weather will be a balmy 80 degrees. The dress code is "resort casual."

A spokesman would not identify the members, but Secrets obtained a list that included several congressional leaders. On the list was Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but an official in her office said that she did not make the trip.
Democrats living the good life.

Very bad optics.

SNL: Michael Che Calls Trump a 'Cheap Cracker'

Saturday Night Live kicked off its 43rd season.

Weekend Update contained some really ugly "jokes."


MICHAEL CHE: After the mayor of San Juan criticized the government's Puerto Rican relief efforts, President Trump attacked her on Twitter saying, 'The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump.'

Oh really, Donald? You bitch. Was she nasty to you? How nasty? Are you shaking? Do you want to go smoke a Virginia Slim until your hand stops moving? This isn't that complicated, man. It's hurricane relief. These people need help. You just did this for white people twice! Do the same thing. Go tell Melania to put on her flood heels, get some bottled water, some food, pack up some extra Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl t-shirts, and write them a check with our money, you cheap cracker!

You know, in one month, you've mishandled Puerto Rico, DACA, the NFL. It's like whenever anybody darker than your golf pants has a problem, you're thinking, 'How can I make this worse?'
