Ocasio-Cortez to Crenshaw: ‘Why on earth’ would you lend your handgun to friends?
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday lashed out at Republican colleague Rep. Dan Crenshaw (Texas) after he complained that universal background checks would prevent him from lending his handgun to his friends.
“You are a member of Congress. Why are you ‘lending’ guns to people unsupervised who can’t pass a basic background check?” the progressive firebrand wrote on Twitter.
“The people you’re giving a gun to have likely abused their spouse or have a violent criminal record, & you may not know it. Why on earth would you do that?”
