As Twitchy told you earlier, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took great umbrage at GOP Sen. Rick Scott using her Green New Zeal to point out the flaws in Cory Booker’s absurdly awful gun control plan:

?BREAKING: the latest terrible idea to come out of the Democrats' 2020 primary is a federal gun registry. If you want to buy a gun, @CoryBooker wants you to register with the federal government.

This would be scary if Booker had any chance of becoming President. (1/2) https://t.co/uJRLXo054E

The Democrats are officially the @BernieSanders Party. They want America to be less prosperous and less free. (2/2)
