Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) questioned Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Tex.) after he wrote on Twitter that universal background checks would prevent him from lending a gun to his friend.

Crenshaw posted a story about a Texas woman who successfully defended herself from five male attackers by pulling out her gun and firing two shots, which ultimately deterred them from stealing her purse. The woman, Lachelle Hudgins, of Houston, was alone in her car at a parking lot near her home at 2:30 a.m. on Sept. 3 when the men approached her.
