A town hall hosted by Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her district on Thursday, October 3, witnessed a bizarre turn. As the event progressed, a woman stood up and sought the support of AOC for drastic measures to tackle climate change, including “eating babies”!

 

The woman, who looked a troubled individual, said: “We’re not going to be here for much longer, because of the climate crisis. We only have a few months left. I love that you support the Green Deal, but it’s not gonna get rid of fossil fuel. It’s not going to solve the problem fast enough. A Swedish professor said we can eat dead people, but it’s not fast enough! So, I think your next campaign slogan needs to be this: We’ve got to start eating babies."

The visitor also removed her jacket to show the T-shirt below that read: “Save the planet Eat the Children”. She continued with her bizarre rant: “We don’t have a enough time. There’s too much CO2."

'All of you are a pollutant!'

She then started accusing all the people around her of being pollutants.  "All of you! You’re a pollutant! Too much Co2. We have to start now. Please — you are so great. I’m so happy that you are supporting a Green New Deal, but it’s not enough. Even if we were to bomb Russia, it’s not enough. There’s too many people, too much pollution. So, we have to get rid of the babies. That’s a big problem. Just stopping having babies just isn’t enough. We need to eat the babies. This is very serious. Please give a response.”

Those present in the town hall were taken aback by the woman’s words and some staff members of the so-called 'Squad' member approached her towards the end of her remarks.  Ocasio-Cortez herself responded to the woman saying it is important to treat the climate crisis urgently and there were more than a few months to do it. The woman hit back at the Congresswoman saying there was not much time, to which the latter said there are a lot of solution options that can be looked into. 

Later, Ocasio-Cortez tweeted about the incident but instead of mocking the woman, sought compassion for her.
