New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez immediately blamed guns and, by extension, Republican inaction on limiting access to certain guns, in the aftermath of the assassination of Turning Point USA founder and leading conservative advocate Charlie Kirk.<\/p>\n
In a video posted by the Daily Caller News Foundation, AOC, surrounded by reporters, deferred to the typical Democratic talking point when asked for her thoughts about her the doomsday rhetoric that her party often uses when describing President Donald Trump and his America First movement.<\/p>\n

We are in a job of action. We are in a role, a position, where the American people are looking to us to do something about this.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery single day people are dying due to gun violence in America, and every single day, there are people in this building that continue to vote against doing\u00a0anything<\/i>,\u201d she added as she pointed to the Capitol behind her.<\/p>\n WATCH:<\/p>\n
