(This post may contain disputed claims. We make no assertions as to the validity of the information presented by our Opinion Columnist. We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez held a town hall event last night. The 29-year-old was dumbfounded when a young woman stood up and started to rant and rave about her Green New Deal. “We only have a few months left!” the young woman screamed. “We can eat dead people but that’s not fast enough! We need to eat the babies!” Well, AOC refused to take any responsibility. Now, she is blaming President Donald Trump and his supporters. That’s when she got a rude awakening.
A clip emerged Thursday evening of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s town hall at the Queens Public Library, featuring a flustered woman who proclaimed that we need to “eat the babies” in order to save the planet from climate change. She appeared to be wearing an “Eat the Babies” t-shirt.
“We are not going to be here for much longer because of the climate crisis,” the woman said. “We only have a few months left!”
The woman told the socialist “Squad” member that she loves her support for the Green New Deal but lamented that it is “not getting rid of fossil fuel; it’s not going to solve the problem fast enough.”
“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,” the woman proclaimed.
“All of you … you are a pollutant, too much CO2,” she continued. “We have to start now, please, you are so great.”
“I’m so happy that you really are supporting New Green Deal, but it’s not enough, you know. Even if we would bomb Russia, we still have too many people,” she added. “Too much pollution, so we have to get rid of the babies! That’s a big problem. We need to eat the babies!”
“We need to treat the climate crisis with the urgency that it does present,” Ocasio-Cortez told the distressed woman.
“Luckily we have more than a few months. We do need to hit net zero in several years,” she added.
AOC had a responsibility to say we do not eat babies, or dead people. Instead, she stood there dumbfounded, looking like a deer staring into the headlights. This is the very real dark side of pushing a crazy agenda like climate change and telling people they have 12 years to live.
You actually drive people crazy.
Directly following the town hall, AOC attempted to ignore the incident hoping no one would post the crazy woman and maybe she could come out this incident unscathed.
“Hey everyone! We had a fabulous town hall tonight & I’ll be highlighting some moments from it. At one point I was concerned there was a woman in crisis & want to ensure we treat the situation compassionately. Let’s not mock or make a spectacle. &let’s work on Medicare for All!” AOC tweeted.

But then it went all wrong for AOC. The video clip of the woman made its way to social media.
Donald Trump Jr. tweeted, “Seems like a normal AOC supporter to me,” and President Trump followed that up with: “AOC is a wack job!”

People right away started to accuse AOC’s climate crisis rhetoric of causing this poor woman to become unhinged. That’s when AOC pulled a fast one. Like the good radical leftist she is, she blamed her political enemies and then orchestrated it so she would look like the hero and a victim.
“This person may have been suffering from a mental condition and it’s not okay that the right-wing is mocking her and potentially make her condition or crisis worse. Be a decent human being and knock it off,” tweeted AOC.
Then, she got a Democrat cohort to paint her as the hero.
“And this is how you decently treat someone who is in the middle of a breakdown and does so publicly. Thank you,” tweeted Mike Schlossberg, who is a Democrat serving as a Pennsylvania state representative.

But it gets even wackier. This was a total disaster for climate crisis activists. The optics couldn’t be more horrendous. AOC was feeling the heat. The politically prudent move would be for AOC to shut up. She already dug herself in deep by blaming “the right-wing.”
Alas, the former bartender’s immaturity got the best of her. This morning she is claiming the woman is a “Trump supporter.” In fact, a former Hillary Clinton operative named Jesse Ferguson conveniently comes to AOC’s rescue and claimed he somehow knows the woman is a supporter of the president. A climate crisis activist a supporter of President Trump? Something isn’t adding up.
“Important thread. The plant at @AOC town hall was one of the wacko pro-Trump Larouche cult. Of course,” tweeted Ferguson.
AOC then retweeted that post and said: “Turns out the woman yelling was a Trump supporter. Doesn’t rule out potential mental issue (Drs do that) but good to know they were not in crisis. Earlier this year I was stalked & very nearly hurt by a disturbed person. I don’t take chances & immediately try to de-escalate.”
Turns out the woman yelling was a Trump supporter 🤷🏽♀️

Of course, AOC once again makes herself the victim when she includes: “I was stalked & very nearly hurt by a disturbed person.” Now, Trump supporters are on fire. How could a person who is that bonkers about the so-called climate crisis support President Trump?
“That was not a Trump supporter! Stop all the liberal lies already! The woman that wants to eat babies is definitely an @AOC and @TheDemocrats supporter!” tweeted “MJK.”

Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord, and he skipped the G7 session on climate change and the Amazon fires. There’s no way a climate crisis activist would support Trump. But, when in doubt the Democrats always do one thing: blame Trump.
