President Donald Trump tweeted out Thursday “AOC is a Wack Job” after a video surfaced of an audience member in Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s town hall talked about “eating babies.”
During a town hall on climate change in New York Thursday, an audience member stood up to ask the congresswoman a question. The woman went into a rant about “eating babies,” adding that the world only has a few months left.
After the event, Tump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., tweeted out the video and wrote that it “Seems like a normal AOC supporter to” him. The president re-tweeted his comment, adding his own thoughts on the freshman congresswoman.
“AOC is a Wack Job!” he wrote Thursday evening.

“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!”
“A Swedish professor [said] we can eat dead people, but that’s not fast enough,” the woman continued. “So I think your next campaign slogan has to be this: ‘We got to start eating babies!’ We don’t have enough time! Too much pollution, so we have to get rid of the babies! That’s a big problem. We need to eat the babies!’”

Ocasio-Cortez hit back at the president after his comment, tweeting that being a “Wack Job” is “better than being a criminal who betrays our country.” She commented earlier in the day about the town hall event and went after “right-wing” people for “mocking” the woman.
Ocasio-Cortez said the woman was perhaps “a woman in crisis,” and touted Medicare for All.
“We had a fabulous town hall tonight & I’ll be highlighting some moments from it,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “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!”
“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,” she added in another tweet.

That was hilarious and I thought that lady was being sarcastic. She had a T-shirt made. Cortez is not popular in her district, contrary to popular belief.
It was good for giggles. That much is for sure.
A loose green nut just where do these persons come from? this woman is a product of Deep Ecology there are some who think if humans when extinct the world would be a paradise these people are nut i tell you nuts
It doesn’t look to me like POTUS was mocking the lady at all. It does little to deflect his mocking of AOC for her to accuse him of doing so, at least not for any thinking person.
It looks to me like the shirt says:
“SAVE THE PLANET
EAT THE CHILDREN”
Evidently, Lyndon LaRouche PAC took credit for it.
