15:31Now PlayingDuring a House committee hearing with major gun manufacturer CEOs, Rep. Alexandria OcasioCortez brilliantly cornered the CEOs on their roles in perpetuating the gun violence epidemic in the country. AOC showed advertisements that featured white supremacist militiabranded weapons and a man with a tattoo associated with white supremacy, bolstering her argument that gun companies knowing pander to domestic terror groups, increasing the chances of another hatefueled shooting happening in the future. Ana Kasparian and Emma Vigeland discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"New York Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez confronted CEOs of gun manufacturer companies during a tense hearing on Wednesday.
Testifying before the House Oversight and Reform Committee and the parents of one of the children killed in the Uvalde massacre, Daniel Defense CEO Marty Daniel and Ruger CEO Christopher Killoy maintained their companies have played no part in the epidemic of mass shootings in the US.
During the hearing, Ms Ocasio-Cortez showed one Daniel Defense 2017 ad featuring an image of a shooter with a tattoo of a Valknot, a Norse symbol that has become increasingly popular among far-right and white supremacist groups such as the Proud Boys, the boogaloo boys, and the Oath Keepers."
