A fringe political group that supports President Donald Trump has claimed responsibility for planting the woman who screamed 'we got to start eating babies' in response to climate change at a town hall meeting for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The Lyndon LaRouche PAC claimed responsibility for Thursday's stunt, writing in a tweet: 'It was us. Malthusianism isn't new, Jonathan Swift knew that. Sometimes, only satire works.'
Swift, the 18th century satirist, famously proposed eating babies in 'A Modest Proposal,' an essay rebutting the Malthusian theory that catastrophic famines would always limit population and economic growth.
The town hall incident, which sparked a Twitter feud between Ocasio-Cortez and Trump, puts a spotlight on the esoteric Larouche group, a fringe movement that originated in Marxist student outfit in the 1960s and has evolved to focus on conspiracy theories involving the Queen of England and George Soros.

LOL. I’m one of those who posted that as soon as I saw the clip.
We don’t need these freaks.
Lyndon LaRouche followers were/are never aligned with Trump.
This is noise from the ComDems at the Washington ComPost.
I half suspected that even for liberals, eating babies was over the grass wall. Oh well, AOC’s deer in headlights look was probably worth it.
The problem for them is that this doesn’t sound any more satirical than the other inanities that come out of their “cause”.
I just thought it was some NYC actress looking to get noticed.
Eating babies - almost absurd as gay marriage or men in women’s sports.
The LaRouchians are kooks, so of course the ComPost wants to associate them with Trump. It is the old guilt-by-association trick.
However, this was an anti-environmental wacko troll, and it humiliated AOC and her brainwashed followers.
It deserves a Nobel Prize for trolling.
(We don’t get to pick our allies—and we need all the allies we can get. The Democrats want to open the border, shut down modern civilization, and destroy the country.)
Most people don't know they're a weird Marxist cult.
Trump has nothing to do with them, but they have definitely aligned themselves with him for reasons I have no desire to learn.
AOC needs to understand: that woman sounded as crazy to AOC as AOC sounds to conservatives.
I recall the LaRouchies being anti Obama, I don’t recall them being all in for Trump.
The t-shirt seemed too coherent a prop (someone had to think of it, design it, get it professionally made) for a genuine nut.
Interesting!
LaRouche died on February 12, 2019!
No, they were not for Trump. And I doubt they are now.
That view is only in the thoughts of the ComDems and their media friends.
True That.
They are not aligned with Trump.
Only using the moment.
Lol. I knew it. I posted last night that it was an acting job. We are learning to fight back with their same tactics.
LAROUCHE always ran as a DEMOCRAT!!!!
LYM members have been active in the Democratic Party at the state and local levels. In 2006, LaRouche Youth Movement activist and Los Angeles County Democratic Central Committee member Cody Jones was honored as "Democrat of the Year" for the 43rd Assembly District of California, by the Los Angeles County Democratic Party.[9] At the April 2007, California State Democratic Convention, LYM activist Quincy O'Neal was elected vice-chairman of the California State Democratic Black Caucus,[10][11] and Wynneal Innocentes was elected corresponding secretary of the Filipino Caucus.[12][13] O'Neal is also president of the LYM's Democratic Party Club, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Legacy Club, which is affiliated with the California Democratic Council.[14][15] In March 2010, LaRouche Youth leader Kesha Rogers won the Democratic congressional primary in Houston, Texas' 22nd District.[16][17]
