Ocasio-Cortez stirs fear in heart of NRA
The National Rifle Association is running scared of socialists.
Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's primary win over Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday prompted the gun lobbying group to issue a panic-stricken call to arms.
"Left-wing socialists have infiltrated our nation and want to fundamentally change the country we love," NRATV host Grant Stinchfield warns in an over-the-top video clip posted online Wednesday. "The socialist movement in America is real. It is dangerous. And it is more powerful than you may think."
Stinchfield goes on to paint Ocasio-Cortez as a threat to America without a whiff of evidence to support his claim.
Ocasio-Cortez “openly despises the very system that makes America the greatest country in the world," he adds.
