AOC claims Dan Crenshaw's friends 'likely' are wife beaters and violent criminals

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused Rep. Dan Crenshaw of "likely" being friends with violent criminals and domestic abusers after the Texas Republican said universal background checks would keep him from lending guns 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 New York Democrat said Wednesday 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."
