That led to this exchange.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez had initially tried to plead for compassion for the woman, like any decent human being might when confronted with someone who seems to be very obviously in crisis both mentally and emotionally.

x This person may have been suffering from a mental condition and itÃ¢ÂÂ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. Ã¢ÂÂ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) October 4, 2019

Now, the Washington Post reports that a Twitter account handled by the “LaRouche PAC—which was founded by conspiracy theorist Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr.” took credit for the woman’s actions. You see, according to the Post, LaRouche Jr.’s death didn’t bring an end to his fringe conspiracy theories or the small but intense cult around him. When LaRouche died in February of this year, one description of LaRouche’s acolytes under him, sticks out.

Mr. LaRouche was said to exert strong control over the personal lives of his disciples. In interviews over the years, many former members likened him to a cult leader who was obsessed with their sexual desires and challenged their mental toughness.

Cult much? The “LaRouchians” have continued forward, and today they’ve made a splash, proving that while there isn’t much evidence for mythical “radical-left” Trump and others proclaim, there is a ton of evidence pointing to an unhinged far right. Having a woman interrupt an event to use our climate change crisis to mock their political adversaries with statements like, “Even if we would bomb Russia, we still have too many people, too much pollution, so we have to get rid of the babies. Just stopping having babies is not enough, we need to eat the babies,” is nihilistic, unbalanced, and humorless.

It’s interesting that the far right, with Trump and Republicans in tow, seem to always be guilty of the exact charges they dish out: conspiratorial, nihilism, corruption, lawlessness, and an unwillingness to be held accountable for their actions that may ultimately destroy our country’s democracy.
