Save the Planet, Eat Babies
Background Information
At a town hall meeting with Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, a woman stood up to describe her plan to save the planet by having people eat babies. At first, people thought she was mentally disturbed but then it was revealed that it was an intentional strategy by the pro-Trump Larouche Political Action Committee. This group has been trying to get “eat children” satire out in other street-level engagements. Their goal: they want to discredit the environmental movement.
