‘Eat the Babies’ Woman at AOC Town Hall Was Pro-Trump Plant
A woman who confronted Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at a town hall meeting on Thursday night was a plant from a pro-Trump group, a new report has revealed. The woman interrupted the meeting to declare that eating babies was a solution to climate change.
“But we’re not going to be here much long because of the climate crisis,” she said. “We got to start eating babies.”
She then revealed a t-shirt saying ‘Save the planet. Eat the children’. Conservative media had a field day with the woman, holding her up as an example of climate change hysteria and leading Ocasio-Cortez to defend her on Twitter. However, the woman was a plant from a fringe group supporting President Donald Trump.

The woman now appears to belong to a group called LaRouche PAC, a small fringe organization originally founded by the late Lyndon LaRouche. The group took credit for the stunt and researcher Matthew Sweet explained on Twitter that this is a common tactic.
So who was this woman? Not a climate activist. Not even, perhaps, someone with a mental illness. She is a representative of the bizarre political cult once led by Lyndon LaRouche. Previous targets for this kind of stunt include @Janefonda Olof Palme & Michael Dukakis. Now @AOC. pic.twitter.com/0JVsfn6vCn

“The LaRouchies are pretty exotic. They believe that the Queen controls the drugs trade,” Sweet said.
“They think Prince Philip wants to start WW3. They think Bertrand Russell used the Beatles as part of a secret British psy war against the USA. They are, to use a technical term, nuts.”
However, before the true nature of the stunt had been revealed, President Donald Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr. had attacked Ocasio-Cortez and her supporters, claiming the woman was a good example of the kind of people who support AOC.
“AOC is a wack job!” the President said.

“The LaRouchies are now firm Trump supporters – though Putin is their first love,” Sweet said on Twitter.

The President and his son are unlikely to apologize for attacking AOC because of this stunt.
