LaRouche PAC Takes Credit for Trolling AOC With Baby Eating Comment
AOC’s silence was the real story.
At a town hall event, one of Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s constituents went on a rant and suggested that due to lack of time left on Earth (thanks, Climate Change) we should eat the babies, setting the political corners of the internet ablaze.
Leslie blogged:
A woman wearing a “Save the Planet/Eat the Children” t-shirt want on a new-viral rant, declaring that there are only “a few months left!” and that it is time to “start eating babies!”
Her remarks to Ocasio-Cortez were astonishing.
“We are not going to be here for much long because of the climate crisis,” the woman said as she appeared to have an accent. “We only have a few months left!”
“I love that you support the Green Deal, but it’s not getting rid of fossil fuel, it’s not going to solve the problem fast enough,” the woman continued. “A Swedish professor [said] we can eat dead people but that’s not fast enough. So I think your next campaign slogan has to be this: ‘We got to start eating babies! We don’t have enough time! There is too much CO2.”
I fully assumed this was trollery by O’Keefe, who loves the theater of the absurd, or some other outfit.
Friday, the Lyndon LaRouche PAC claimed they’d trolled AOC in comments that have now achieved viral status.

The thing which should chill everyone who sees this, not that it was a hoax played on AOC – which given her stupidity is not all that hard to do – but the reaction from those who were there.
Normal people would be outraged by such a suggestion. People who are not insane would be shouting her down and calling her out. That they didn’t should frighten any sane human being. That AOC stood like the puppet she is is truly telling of her vacuousness.
We have too many people in power today who are not even room temperature IQ levels. It’s like the left are on a quest to see how many stupid people they can put in congress, with it being a contest to see who will win the prize of being a moron.
This is old Leftist EcoNut Crap. It is the stuff in the El Paso shooter manifesto. It can be read in the Club of Rome, The Limits to Growth (LTG) in their 1972 report on the computer simulation of exponential economic and population growth. It also goes back to Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962) and most of all it goes in a large part to that moron Paul R. Ehrlich’s The Population Bomb (1968) and his influence at the United Nations. Generations of feeble minds have been indoctrinated with this crap.
This is probably being overplayed.
When confronted by an obvious fruitcake, the reaction of mature adults is to wait a bit for them to run out of steam, then ignore them and get on with business.
It’s not clear that anyone’s refusal to rise to the bait here means that they somehow approve or endorse any of the insanity.
I agree that this is overplayed in the right-wing fever swamps. AOC makes me laugh or puke depending on my mood, but I can’t find any fault with the reaction from either her or the crowd. The woman did a very credible impression of insanity, and the thing to do when confronted with insanity is to go low key.
Under the circumstances, where no one at the time knew who the hell she was, I think they acted appropriately.
Well, recall that ever time some deranged lunatic guns down unarmed people the MSM/DNC axis shrieks that the NRA is really to blame. If some tinfoil cap loser no one has ever heard of published a Tweet or blog post about the need to exterminate non-whites the media informs us that Republican “hate” is the real culprit and demands every GOP officeholder denounce him. Every time there is a flood or hurricane progressives call for the arrest of “climate change deniers”. And so on.
So let AOC “enjoy” the fruits of her totalitarian labors and tell us why she is not responsible for infanticide. Then blame her anyway.
I wouldn’t let AOC off the hook so easily.
The woman was a constituent who spoke to AOC and deserved a response at the time, and not a ‘face saving’ tweet after the fact. If she’d been on her toes, AOC should have asked the woman to leave her name and contact information with a staffer and commit to speak with her again after the meeting.
But that would be bad optics for AOC and used in any number of adversarial ways. AOC’s self concern is evident in her tweets – expressing concern for the woman only after the fact – and not while she was speaking or immediately after. She’s hollow, vapid, soulless.
Look, comrade commie Zach is back to help us understand what a wonderful person AOCrazy is. Forget that she patiently listened to someone suggesting eating children was a good idea.
When the child eater was finished all AOCrazy had to say was that we had more than a few months.
And Zach the commie, he supports the murderers of millions of children, so nothing new here. Commies murdered 100+ million in the last century, many were children. They are doing it today, right now, and Zach supports them.
So AOC self identifies as a lunatic?
It’s not clear that anyone’s refusal to rise to the bait here means that they somehow approve or endorse any of the insanity.

you might be correct–don’t know what part of the world you call home but around here that ” eat the babies ” bs would have been shut down tout suite and physically if necessary
as said, the telling thing here is cortez’s reaction to an in-your-face test not only of her values but of her character–look at her–when confronted with outright madness she is completely non plussed–she is morally bankrupt along with her obvious stupidity
what is disturbing to me is that something so blatant, so morally absurd is now out there in the interverse, tweeted millions of times, etc.–something that rational humans consider unspeakable is being bandied about like the state of the weather–what’s next? euthanizing the aged/infirm?
is there nothing these dems/leftists/idiots hold sacred?
lord
texansamurai: what is disturbing to me is that something so blatant, so morally absurd is now out there in the interverse, tweeted millions of times, etc.–something that rational humans consider unspeakable is being bandied about like the state of the weather–what’s next?
That’s the American right for ya.
You, Zachriel, are murderers. You murder children.
Hey, maybe you guys can kill another couple hundred babies before dinner tonight. Get crackin’ there, Einstein.
Zit’s response is exactly why people are not inclined to be merciful in this instance.
Zit and others like it will not be merciful to anybody on whatever the hell they call the right, and they have already decided that the Larouchies are “Trump supporters,” and are willing to identify the troll as a Trump supporter instead of a Larouchie.
Zit doesn’t get it both ways.
I am done with trying to be fair to liars and cheaters.
Valerie: Larouchies are “Trump supporters,” and are willing to identify the troll as a Trump supporter instead of a Larouchie.
Well, let’s examine that thought. LaRouche was a Trump supporter, and LaRouchePAC still supports Trump. The right originally propagated the story that the troll was an AOC supporter, but the person was not an AOC supporter, but part of a group supporting Trump.
Is everyone on the political right responsible for every right-wing troll? Of course not, but many on the right propagated the story of an AOC supporter “millions of times, etc.–something that rational humans consider unspeakable is being bandied about like the state of the weather”. Instead of condemning the troll, they condemned AOC for having a troll for a supporter. When caught out, they changed their tune to condemn AOC for tolerating someone who appeared unhinged, consistent with their practice regarding hecklers.
LaRouche was not a Trump supporter. In 2016 he supported O’Malley.
And who ever claimed the crazy woman was an AOC supporter?
Milhouse: LaRouche was not a Trump supporter.
LaCRouche, 2017: “The point is the support for Trump’s coming Presidency, that is the key. Right wing libertarian politics per se is not important. It is Trump and his role which is important.”
Milhouse: And who ever claimed the crazy woman was an AOC supporter?
We count several thousand right-wing echos that explicitly stated it was an “AOC supporter”. Here’s a few headlines:
Citizen Free Press: AOC Supporter Asks Question – ‘We only have a few months left, now we have to eat the babies!’
TV24 News, YouTube: “‘We need to eat the babies!’ AOC supporter demands new ‘green’ plan”
KTRH: “Save The Planet, Eat The Children”, A Snapshot Of An AOC Supporter
Parish News: AOC Supporter Suggests “Eating Babies” to Save The Planet
Reddit: Eat baby’s AOC supporter screams we have to eat baby’s to save the environment
Zach reduced to trolling..not even trying anymore.
Even if it was a punk those knuckle draggers on the left believe this 100%.
“We are not going to be here for much long because of the biological impurity crisis,” the woman said as she appeared to have an accent. “We only have a few months left!”
“I love that you support Racial Hygiene, but it’s not getting rid of the Unfit, it’s not going to solve the problem fast enough,” the woman continued. “Rudolph Hess [said] we can use applied biology but that’s not fast enough. So I think your next campaign slogan has to be this: ‘We got to start exterminating Jews! We don’t have enough time! There is too much Undesirables.”
If this was 1938, the crowd listening to that would have been just as dumbfounded and quiet — not because they agreed or pitied the person’s mental status, but because they have realized it was THE logical conclusion.
That this was a punk job, should have been obvious from the woman’s tee-shirt slogan: SAVE THE PLANET EAT THE CHILDREN.
Clearly planned with an agenda.
I believe AOC and others at the event were shocked by what they heard. They didn’t expect it and didn’t have a clue how to respond – they were literally dumbstruck. A normal reaction would have been to consider the woman mentally ill, but who is prepared to deal with such a person in any other way than just letting them “run out of steam”? The last things you want to do is get into an argument with them or encourage them to continue speaking by engaging them.
One thing that I hoped struck AOC (and maybe some in the audience) is the realization that she (AOC) sounds as crazy to a large portion of America as this speaker did to them. They may also have considered how their message might actually have an impact on mentally disturbed people and how many of them their message may be attracting to their cause.
Do the little black ones taste like chocolate? I can see a lot of wimmins liking that.
Good prank. Hope they do more of it.
The left shouldn’t have it NEARLY as easy as they do.
AOC and a blonde in New York were sitting on a bench talking at night. The blonde said to AOC, “Which do you think is farther away, Florida or the moon?”
AOC turned and said, “Hellooooooo, can you see Florida?”
It was a setup but I don’t think AOC was in on it, hence here deer in the headlights look and keeping her mouth shut. AOC’s reaction was probably the smartest thing she could do.
Seriously, no “Soylent Green New Deal” T-shirts yet?
The LaRouchies are still around? Who knew?
But remember one thing: Lyndon LaRouche was a Democrat. His movement was entirely within the Democratic Party.
Milhouse: But remember one thing: Lyndon LaRouche was a Democrat. His movement was entirely within the Democratic Party.
For some inexplicable reason LaRouche never gained much support in the Democratic Party. LaRouche became a Trump supporter, by the way, and LaRouchePAC still supports Trump.
LaRouche got more support in the Democratic Party than Duke got in the Republican.
Milhouse: LaRouche got more support in the Democratic Party than Duke got in the Republican.
When Duke ran for Louisiana governor as a Republican, he won more votes than any other Republican. In the runoff election, he won 38% of the vote, including a majority of white voters.
