LaRouche PAC, a far-right group that supports Donald Trump, has taken credit for trolling Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during a town hall meeting yesterday. An operative with LaRouche made headlines overnight after standing up at AOC’s town hall in Queens yesterday and saying that humanity should eat babies, among other ridiculous things, to address the climate crisis.

Viral video from the incident shows a woman posing as a supporter of AOC and wearing a shirt that reads, “Save the Planet, Eat the Children.” Many people clearly thought she was mentally disturbed, but LaRouche PAC, a fringe organization that believes climate change is a hoax, was behind the stunt, according to the group’s Twitter account.


“I think your next campaign slogan has to be this: We have got to start eating babies,” the unnamed woman says, according to video captured by C-SPAN.

“I’m so happy that you are really supporting a Green New Deal, but it’s not enough,” the woman told Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez as others in the room looked on in confusion. “Even if we were to bomb Russia, we still have too many people, too much pollution. So we have to get rid of the babies. That’s a big problem. Just stopping having babies is not enough. We need to eat the babies.”

1. AOC is right. It doesn't rule out mental instability.

2. Just a modest proposal

Although in her case it didn’t seem directed to only certain babies

3. I'm sure that woman was a troll. As for whether she's from the LaRouche cult, I suppose that's

one of any number of possibilities, but I didn't see anything in the thread that tweet is commenting on that provided anything like proof of that.

4. I have seen many tweets mentioning LaRouche Pac but since a blue check is claiming this and AOC

quote tweeted this tweet with everything together I assumed it was true.

5. Thanks! Hadn't seen that article but did find this from a LaRouche candidate on Twitter,

which shows another event they staged with a fake climate activist, and other tweets from this nitwit go after AOC:

Burke tweeted that this fake climate group "hates LaRouche" but since they already admitted they staged these fake events...:

6. I would bet my bottom dollar that the girl doing the interview in the one clip and

the girl at the AOC meeting are the SAME girl. The voice is the same. Her mother should have dined on day one. (that part was sarcasm)
