On Oct. 21, 2019, the website Daily World Update posted a story reporting that U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, had proposed legislation that would ban the open carrying of firearms in the United States: Ocasio-Cortez offered up no such bill. H.R. 6556, authored by U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Connecticut, is actually theAgent Orange Exposure Fairness Act and has nothing to do with firearms. The measure is related to services offered to military veterans who have been exposed to Agent Orange. Courtney introduced the bill in 2018, but it has not been enacted. The Daily World story is not real news but was instead offered up by a website that produces content described as satirical in nature.
