WE KNOW THAT BLOOMBERG HAS CHOSEN ITS SIDE: The Ocasio-Cortez Disaster in Munich Gives a 2028 Election Primer As Bloomberg News Cleans Up Her Mess.
Not sure that the mess has been cleaned up, though.
She is named Cortez and yet is totally clueless about how Mexico came to have horses.
Imagine being named after the man who brought horses to the Americas and not knowing that. https://t.co/1TXLhal2Ba

IT NEVER FAILS: Leftist gun control enthusiasts have no idea of the existing law.
Ummm…. every gun purchase already requires a federal background check that includes your SSN and a testimony of citizenship (see below), and a valid government-issued ID.
