Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blamed the tragic mass shooting in southern Texas on the “patriarchy” this week; saying some young men have a “very troubling history with women.”

“It’s really important that we understand the roots of this,” she said.

“The vast majority of mass shooters are young men that have a very troubling history with women almost every single time.

“There is violence against women that immediately predates the you know this violence. This shooter in Texas, shot his own grandmother.

“It’s not just gun violence,” she said. “There’s so many different areas and issues where all of us agree – if not all, an overwhelming amount of us agree. And Congress still can’t get their s*** together. It’s really hard, and it’s super frustrating. And it’s frustrating for you.”

“It’s frustrating for me being a part of this. And I don’t want to be one of those ding dongs that just tells you to vote harder because the solution is a lot bigger than that and it’s going to take a lot more of us and from us to fix this,” she explained.
