Should we #EatTheBabies? Or follow the Obamas’ lead?

Last week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was confronted at a town hall by a frantic woman — either lunatic or troll — hailing from what’s left of the late Lyndon LaRouche’s political cult.

“We’re not going to be here for much longer, because of the climate crisis,” the woman shouted. “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.”
