A town hall meeting with Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is going viral online after one of the attendees suggested the congresswoman embrace a new policy of eating babies to fight climate change.

BizPac Review reports the woman also suggested bombing Russia. The incident, per the report, was likely “one of the greatest trolling jobs ever or a perfect encapsulation of the mania that defines Democrats today.”

“We’re not going to be here for much longer, because of the climate crisis,” the young woman pleaded, adorning a shirt that read “Save The Planet. Eat The Children.”

“We only have a few months left,” she continued. “I love that you support the Green Deal but… getting rid of fossil fuel it’s not going to solve the problem fast enough.”

“A Swedish professor said we can eat dead people, but that’s not fast enough,” the woman contended. “So I think your next campaign slogan has to be this: ‘We got to start eating babies!”

“We don’t have enough time,” she added. “There’s too much Co2. All of you, you know you are pollutants. Too much Co2! We have to start now, please.”

“Even if we would bomb Russia, we still have too many people, too much pollution. So we have to get rid of the babies. That’s a big problem. Just stopping having babies is not enough, we need to eat the babies!” the woman concluded before the congresswoman responded.

Ocasio-Cortez, obviously confused by the comments, said she and her team in Washington were doing everything they could to help the environment. It is believed the woman was a parody from a conservative planted at the event.

The Democratic congresswoman addressed the woman in a tweet after the video of the incident was being widely shared.

“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 tweeted.

The president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., said the frantic woman “seems like a normal AOC supporter” to him.

“AOC is a Wack Job!” President Trump added, sharing his son’s post.

“Better than being a criminal who betrays our country,” the Democratic congresswoman retorted.
