Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blamed Republican voters for the tragic mass shooting in Texas this week; saying members of the GOP support “laws that let children be shot in their schools.”
“There is no such thing as being ‘pro-life’ while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place. It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end,” posted AOC on Twitter.

The radical Democrat’s comments came hours after an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two adults at an elementary school in southern Texas.
President Biden addressed the nation shortly after the shooting.
“To lose a child is like having a piece of your soul ripped away. There’s a hollowness in your chest, you feel like you’re being sucked into it,” Biden said. “And it’s never quite the same.”
