Simon of Trent - Wikipedia

Simon of Trent (Italian: Simonino di Trento; German: Simon von Trient, also known as Simon Unverdorben, 'Simon Immaculate'; 26 November 1472 – 24 March 1475), also known as Saint Simon (or Simeon) of Trent, was a young boy from the city of Trent, in the Prince-Bishopric of Trent (now Trentino, Italy), whose disappearance and death were weaponized as a blood libel against the city's Jewish community.

Events

At the time of the events, Prince-Bishop Johannes Hinderbach reigned in Trent under the ultimate jurisdiction of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III. In March 1475, an itinerant Franciscan preacher, Bernardine of Feltre, delivered a series of sermons in Trent that vilified the local Jews, essentially three households headed by Samuel (who arrived in 1461), Tobias, and Engel.^[3] They formed a distinct community marked by their professions and by their apparent wealth in comparison with the artisans and sharecroppers of the city: Samuel was a moneylender and Tobias a physician.^[4] The Prince-Bishop had renewed the Jewish community's permission to reside and practice their professions in Trent a few years previously, in 1469.^[5] This dependence on the protection of the authorities later inclined the Jews, upon finding Simon's body, to report the discovery.^[6]

The events themselves have been reconstructed from a careful study of the trial records by American historian Ronnie Hsia. Simon, almost two and a half years old, went missing about 5 p.m. on the evening of Thursday, 23 March 1475. The following day, Good Friday, Simon's father approached the prince-bishop to ask for help in finding his missing child.^[7] The podestà, Giovanni de Salis, had his men spread a description of Simon through the city. Over the following couple of days, searches were carried out by Simon's family and neighbours, by the servants of the podestà, and also by the Jewish community, who had been alerted to a rumour that they had taken the child and were concerned about the possibility of being framed.^[7][6] On Saturday, 25 March, Simon's father appealed to the podestà specifically to search the Jews' houses, saying he had been advised they might have taken his child.^[7] Despite these searches, no sign of the child was found. Samuel's property was extensive, including a hall that functioned as a synagogue, and a water cellar that was also used for ritual bathing and was supplied with water from a channel that ran beneath the property.^[5] According to the trial record, on Easter Sunday, 26 March, a cook named Seligman went to Samuel's cellar to fetch water to prepare the evening meal and found Simon's body in the water. Samuel himself, accompanied by two other Jews, went to the podestà to report the discovery.^[6] Later that evening, the podestà and some of his men retrieved the body, with his servant Ulrich being ordered to carry it to the hospital.^[8] The narrative summary based on the trial documents, drafted in 1478–1479, omitted the fact that the Jews had themselves reported finding the body, stating only that Ulrich had found Simon's body in a ditch next to Samuel's house.^[7]

Following the report of the body's discovery, the entire Jewish community (both men and women) were arrested and forced under torture to confess to having murdered Simon to use his blood for ritual purposes (a classic example of the blood libel that Jews used Christian blood in their rituals). An examination of the corpse by city doctors determined that Simon had not died of natural causes but had been exsanguinated. In Hsia's view, "the narrative imperative, the official story of ritual murder, the trial record of 1475–76, represents nothing less than a Christian ethnography of Jewish rites".^[9]

Fifteen of the Jews, including Samuel, the head of the community, were sentenced to death and burnt at the stake. The Jewish women were accused as accomplices but argued because of their sex they were not allowed to participate in the rituals restricted to men. They were freed from prison in 1478 due to papal intervention. One Jew, Israel, was allowed to convert to Christianity for a short while, but he was arrested again after other Jews confessed he was part of the Passover Seder. After a long period of torture he was also sentenced to death on 19 January.^[10] The Trent trial's notoriety inspired a rise in Christian violence towards Jews in the surrounding areas of Veneto, Lombardy, and Tyrol, along with accusations of ritual murder, culminating in Vicenza with the prohibition of Jewish moneylending in 1479 and the expulsion of all Jews in 1486.^[11]

Papal investigation

On 3 August 1475, Pope Sixtus IV commanded Bishop Hinderbach to suspend judicial proceedings until the arrival of the papal representative, Battista dei Giudici, Bishop of Ventimiglia, who would conduct a joint investigation with the Bishop of Trent. Giudici arrived in Trent in September. The local authorities worked against his investigation, preventing him from visiting Jews in prison and impeding his access to trial records.^[12]

In the face of persistent hostility, he relocated to Rovereto, which was then under Venetian control,^[12] and summoned Hinderbach and the podestà to answer for their conduct. Instead of appearing, Hinderbach had an account of the proceedings drawn up to vindicate his own actions, circulating it widely and so giving general credence to the notion that Simon of Trent had in fact been murdered by Jews.

The case was reviewed in Rome, where Hinderbach had powerful friends, including the papal librarian Bartolomeo Sacchi, who accused Giudici of being in the pay of the Jews. Giudici wrote two treatises on the affair, an Apologia Iudaeorum defending the Jews, and an Invectiva contra Platinam (aimed at Sacchi) defending himself.^[12] A committee of cardinals, chaired by Giovan Francesco Pavini, former professor of canon law at the University of Padua and an old friend of the bishop of Trent, exonerated Hinderbach and censured Giudici. A papal bull was issued on 20 June 1478, accepting that the inquiries in Trent had been carried out in legal fashion but avoiding a finding of fact with regard to Simon's death, while also reasserting papal protection for the Jews and the unlawfulness of ritual murder trials, in line with a decree of Pope Innocent IV from 1243.^[13]

Veneration

School of Niklaus Weckmann,

The Martyrdom of Saint Simonino

Simon became the focus of attention for the local Catholic Church. The local bishop, Hinderbach of Trent, tried to have Simon canonized, producing a large body of documentation of the event and its aftermath.^[14] Over one hundred miracles were attributed to Simon within a year of his disappearance, and his cult spread across Italy, Austria and Germany. However, there was also skepticism from the beginning, as Giudici's investigation showed.

Maximilian I, a future Holy Roman Emperor, was a strong proponent of Simon's veneration and commissioned a silver monument of the child.^[1] He also had Simon's relics carried in procession when he was made emperor in 1508.

The veneration received wider liturgical impetus in the 16th century. Joannes Molanus included a footnote on Simon of Trent in his 1568 edition of Usuard's martyrology,^[15] and this was then incorporated into the new official edition of the Martyrologium Romanum in 1583,^[16] with 24 March having the additional text: Tridenti passio sancti Simeonis pueri, a Judaeis saevissime trucidati, qui multis postea miraculis coruscavit. ("At Trent, the suffering of the holy boy Simeon, barbarously murdered by the Jews, who was afterwards glorified by many miracles.")^[17] In 1584 the use of this martyrology became obligatory in the Roman Rite. Furthermore, in 1588 Pope Sixtus V gave recognition to the local veneration of Simon as an established devotion, functionally equivalent to a decree of beatification.^[1]

In 1758, Cardinal Ganganelli (later Pope Clement XIV, 1769–1774) prepared a legal memorandum which, to the exclusion of all other allegations of ritual murders of infants the records of which were thoroughly made available to him, expressly admitted as proven only two: that of Simon of Trent and that of Andreas Oxner.^[18] At the same time, he extolled the glories and accomplishments of the Jewish people across history, writing that the murder of Simon of Trent did not suffice to injure the reputation of the entire Jewish people.^[19]

Simon's cultus was permitted by the Popes for local public liturgical observance (effectively beatification) within the Diocese of Trent.^[1] In a letter to Benedetto Veterani [it], Promoter of Faith, Pope Benedict XIV recognised that this was the case, but was careful to distinguish such authorization from canonization.^[20][21]

As was stated in one publication, "It is simply untrue to say that the Church has canonized little Simon of Trent. A decree of beatification was issued by Sixtus V, which took the form simply of a confirmation of cultus and which allowed a Mass to be said locally in honour of the boy martyr. Everyone knows that beatification differs from canonization in this, that in the former case the infallibility of the Holy See is not involved, in the latter it is."^[22]

Following studies on the case, on 28 October 1965 (the same day as the publication of Nostra aetate by Pope Paul VI) archbishop of Trent Alessandro Maria Gottardi [it] abolished the cult of Simon, and the yearly procession with his relics was suppressed.^[23][24] Simon of Trent is not in the new Roman Martyrology of 2000, nor on any modern Catholic calendar.^[1] His relics, removed from their resting place in Saints Peter and Paul church in Trent [it] upon the cult's suppression, were returned there in 2021, together with an exhibit about him curated by the Museo diocesano tridentino [it].^[25]

Controversies

In the 21st century, historian Ariel Toaff, writing about the case of Simon of Trent, hypothesized that the notion that some Jews killed children to use their blood for ritual purposes may have been tenuously based on an actual "ritual of blood" that did not involve infanticide. In the same work, Passovers of Blood, Toaff theorises that some blood libel cases may be based on actual instances of infanticide where a Jewish perpetrator acted in retaliation for persecutions against the community.^[26] After criticism, the book was withdrawn from circulation and redacted by its author.^[27][28]

In 2020, the Italian artist Giovanni Gasparro [it] painted a depiction of Simon's death. He was later accused of antisemitism for this painting which was sold to a private collector.^[29]

In February 2022, a sculpture of Simon of Trent depicting the blood libel was used by QAnon conspiracy theorists to promote the conspiracy theory that Hollywood elites are harvesting adrenochrome from children through Satanic ritual abuse in order to become immortal.^[30][31]

Lara Logan had a normal one on Newsmax, as she declared that global elites want the rabble to eat “cockroaches” while they “dine on the blood of children.”

Appearing on Wednesday’s The Balance with Eric Bolling, Logan was asked about the alleged rise of socialism among global elites.

“I am a firm and solid and immovable believer in God,” Logan said. “And I believe that God wins. I believe that good is greater than evil. And I believe that the fallen angel – otherwise known as Satan – doesn’t get to prevail in this world. So, if you follow the Bible, or if you follow the Koran, or you follow the Book of Mormon, you know, people talk in various different ways about the End Times. And if you fight for God, God will fight for you.”

Bolling interrupted to ask Logan about God and immigration.

“I have to ask you this because my audience is very God-fearing, God-loving, etc.,” he said. “Is God ok with a closed border?”

Logan replied in the affirmative because, she said, God is a fan of national sovereignty:

It’s much bigger than that. God believes in sovereignty, and national identity, and the sanctity of family, and all the things that we’ve lived with from the beginning of time. And he knows that the open border is Satan’s way of taking control of the world through all of these people who are his stooges and his and his servants.

And they may think that they’re going to become gods. That’s what they tell us. you’ve all known [historian Yuval Noah] Harari and all the rest of them at the World Economic Forum. You know, the ones who want us eating insects, cockroaches, and that while they dine on the blood of children? Those are the people, right? They’re not gonna win. They’re not going to win.

Harari is a Jewish historian, so Logan’s decision to single him out is instructive, given her recent behavior. “Blood libel” as it is known, is a centuries-old myth about Jewish people murdering Christian children to use their blood in religious rituals.

Logan has made several questionable and outright anti-Semitic statements. She claimed the theory of evolution is a plot perpetrated by the Rothschilds – a wealthy Jewish banking family. She also shared a post alleging that Jews are behind a scheme to create a “one world government.”

During a press conference at a new immigrant detention center in the Florida Everglades, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem used her remarks to share a strange and graphic story about a cannibal who was being deported.

The Daily Beast reported Tuesday that while visiting the facility — dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" — alongside President Donald Trump, Noem defended the new detention facility as necessary in order to remove criminals from the United States. As a way of illustrating the character of the people the Trump administration says it's focused on deporting, the DHS secretary recounted one deportation flight in which a man allegedly engaged in cannibalism — on himself.

"We are going after murderers and rapists and traffickers and drug dealers and getting them off the streets and getting them out of this country because [former President] Joe Biden let the worst of the worst to come in here," Noem said. "The other day, I was talking to some marshals that had been partnering with [Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. They said that they had detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home and while they had him in his seat, he started to eat himself. And they had to get him off and get him medical attention."

"These are the kind of deranged individuals that are on our streets in America that we're trying to target and get out of our country, because they are so deranged they don't belong here," she added.

IFrame Content

Noem's claim about the alleged cannibal on the deportation flight has yet to be verified, but some of the more recent immigration arrests cast doubt on the administration's narrative that they're exclusively targeting "the worst of the worst." One 64 year-old Iranian woman who was recently arrested while gardening at her home in New Orleans, Louisiana by plainclothes agents had been in the U.S. for 47 years and had no criminal record.

Last month in Culver City, California, federal agents arrested local vendor Ambrocio Lozano, who was known for selling ice cream out of a cart for roughly two decades to the local community. Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove said Lozano was "snatched, kidnapped, by folks masked in unmarked cars with no warrants."

The "Alligator Alcatraz" facility in South Florida is expected to hold up to 5,000 people at one time, on an abandoned airfield in the middle of swampland surrounded by alligators and dangerous snakes. Trump quipped that immigrants running from alligators shouldn't "run in a straight line."

Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers is a far-right pastor and unabashed Christian nationalist who wants to abolish abortion, ban no-fault divorce, outlaw pornography, and literally see this nation taken back to the 1600s.

Earlier this month, Deevers joined fellow Christian nationalist and former Trump administration official William Wolfe on the latter's Center for Baptist Leadership podcast to discuss the presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

During the discussion, Deevers asserted that Harris would never support any restrictions or limitations on reproductive choice because those who vote for her are "wicked, murderous people" who are "demon possessed."

"They have rabid, wicked, murderous people who are voting for them and who are the loudest supporters that if they claimed even 30 weeks, 24 weeks, 15 weeks, they are going to be vicious against them and the demons are going to come out," Deevers said. "I'm not saying that those people are demons; I'm saying that a lot of them are demon possessed."

"The demons who want their child sacrifice, who want this land being covered in blood ... that's what the demons want," Deevers declared. "Now, whether they theologically understand that, the demons know it that are advising them," Deevers declared.

In 2023, Deevers and Wolfe were among the contributors to a document called “The Statement on Christian Nationalism and the Gospel," which declared that the United States must formally “acknowledge the Lordship of Christ” in all its laws, “abolish abortion,” outlaw marriage equality, and “recapture our national sovereignty from godless, global entities who present a grave threat to civilization.” Wolfe is also a colleague of Project 2025 co-author Russ Vought, whose Center for Renewing America hopes to infuse Christian nationalism throughout a second Trump administration.

Right-wing media are gleefully promoting a false, racist rumor that Haitian migrants are eating pets

Right-wing figures have called Haitian people “locusts,” zombies,” and “weird Third World aliens”

Written by Chloe Simon & Reed McMaster

On September 9, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s running mate JD Vance claimed that Haitian migrants had “abducted and eaten” pets in Springfield, Ohio, seemingly referencing debunked social media rumors.

Though local officials explained that there was no truth to the claim, right-wing media immediately jumped on the bandwagon, amplifying Vance’s allegations and pushing racist narratives about Haitian immigrants.

Some right-wing figures accused Haitian migrants of consuming “cats and ducks” and comparing them to “zombies” and “locusts.”

## JD Vance falsely alleged Haitian migrants are kidnapping and eating people’s pets, continuing long-standing right-wing media attacks on Haitians

- JD Vance wrote on X that he had previously raised concerns about “Haitian illegal immigrants draining social services and generally causing chaos all over Springfield, Ohio” and “reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country.” While Vance did admit in a subsequent post that “it's possible, of course, that all of these rumors will turn out to be false,” he doubled down by telling by telling his “fellow patriots” not to “let the crybabies in the media dissuade you” and encouraged them to continue making “cat memes.” Twitter/X, [9/9/24, 9/10/24, 9/10/24]

- The claim Haitian migrants are eating cats seemingly originated from a commentator at a local meeting, Facebook rumors, and a video of a woman accused of eating an animal. The video used as evidence took place in Canton, Ohio, not Springfield, Ohio, and The Guardian reported that the woman did not appear to be a Haitian immigrant. The Guardian, [9/9/24]

- Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck says there is no truth to the story.In a statement to ABC News, Heck said that “in response to recent rumors alleging criminal activity by the immigrant population in our city, we wish to clarify that there have been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community.” (Vance had previously cited Heck in a Senate Banking committee meeting about issues Springfield has had with housing for Haitian migrants.) ABC News, [9/9/24]

- The debunked attack on Haitian people is the latest in years’ worth of racist right-wing media tirades against the country. In the aftermath of the deadly 2010 Haiti earthquake, right-wing media said that the “Haitian pact with the devil is historical fact” and that the country was “so screwed up because it wasn’t colonized long enough.” Then in 2018, when Trump had labeled Haiti a “shithole country,” Infowars’ Alex Jones backed him up, saying it is a “literal craphole” and a “hellhole.” Media Matters, [1/14/10, 1/20/10, 1/21/10, 1/12/18; NBC News, 1/11/18]

## Right-wing and far-right media figures and Trump allies have used this claim to launch hateful attacks at migrants, criticize the Biden/Harris administration’s immigration record, and encourage people to vote for Trump

- The Federalist posted an article titled “If You Want Haitians Eating Cats And Decapitating Ducks In Your Town, Vote For Harris.”The piece also alleges that even though many have denied this claim, “officials have no way of knowing whether this is really happening” and that the debunks serve to “shame anyone who dares to notice the problems that arise when you inundate a community with foreigners from the Third World.” The Federalist, [9/10/24]

- Fox anchor Trace Gallagher claimed migrants are “taking over” Springfield Ohio and eating people’s pets. He stated, “They’ve got 20,000 illegal immigrants that have flooded into this place. They are taking over the city. They are taking people's pets and killing them and eating them.” Media Matters, [9/9/24]

- Trump campaign adviser Alex Bruesewitz claimed that “President Trump made it a felony to abuse animals” and “Kamala Harris allows illegal aliens to eat pets.” Bruesewitz also added, “Vote for Trump.” Twitter/X, [9/9/24]

- Trump ally Laura Loomer released “limited edition” “pet collars for your furever friends so that Kamala’s @KamalaHarris’s invaders know our pets are NOT YOUR LUNCH.”The collars say “Not Your Lunch #MAGA” and cost $23.28. Twitter/X, [9/9/24; Untamed USA, accessed 9/10/24]

- The Gateway Pundit published an article titled “Epic Memes Emerge Online Following Reports of Cat and Bird-Eating Haitian Immigrants in Ohio, Causing Liberals to Lose Their Minds.” The article argued that the memes showed “not even our most beloved animals are safe from Harris’s open border,” noting that some of them depicted Trump as “a protector of the animals while telling Americans to vote for him in November.” The Gateway Pundit, [9/9/24]

- Conservative outlet Townhall suggested voting for Trump to stop cats and ducks from being “consumed by illegal immigrants.” The site posted, “Right now—somewhere in Ohio—innocent cats and ducks are being consumed by illegal immigrants. Don't just sit idly by while your pets are victimized. Do something.” Twitter/X, [9/9/24]

- Townhall columnist Kurt Schlichter said that he wants to “close our borders to weird Third World aliens who want to eat our cats and dogs and our geese and ducks.” Twitter/X, [9/9/24]

- Libs of TikTok posted a poll asking people “which do you prefer,” “mean tweets” or “Haitians grilling cats.” Twitter/X, [9/9/24]

- In a discussion about the Haitian migrant story, Outkick host Clay Travis compared migrants coming into the U.S. to “locusts” who will “become a plague upon your land.”Travis further claimed that migrants in the U.S are “not going to adopt any of your values” and are going to “bring whatever awful things had destroyed the country that we were in to your country.” Premiere Radio Networks, *The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show*, [9/9/24]

- Travis also claimed “Kamala’s illegal immigrants” are “eating up cats,” which he said puts “cat ladies for Kamala … in a tough spot.” He stated, “The wild thing to me is, Buck, you had all the cat ladies for Kamala that were running around because JD Vance made a reference years ago to childless cat ladies, and you had people showed up dressing up like cats. These cat women are in a tough spot now that Kamala's illegal immigrants are eating up cats.” Premiere Radio Networks, *The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show*, [9/9/24]

- Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk amplified the rumor about Haitian immigrants, claiming that “allegedly, Haitians are going around and taking people's pets and eating them.”Media Matters, [9/9/24]

- Infowars host Alex Jones argued that Haitians are being “brought in” to the country and committing multiple violent crimes as well as eating pets. He stated, “You've got the Haitians, who have had a collapsed country for many decades, the Clintons feeding off of them, all of it. Being brought in, in medium-sized towns, cities, you know, 20-, 30,000 a pop like Springfield, Ohio. Which is they're eating the dogs, the cats, raping, burning, murdering, just like zombies running around.” InfoWars, *The Alex Jones Show*, [9/9/24]
- Daily Wire Matt Walsh argued that the cat eating is “happening everywhere that illegal immigrants are being imported.” He continued, “One wonders what the childless cat ladies will say when their cats end up in a Haitian's crock pot or whatever they use to cook cats — I don't know. After all, this isn't just happening in Springfield, Ohio. It's happening everywhere that illegal immigrants are being imported.” The Daily Wire, *The Matt Walsh Show*, [9/9/24]

McCarthy invites lawmakers to screen movie with 'anti-Jewish canards' to boost workplace morale

Brandon GageJuly 25, 2023

Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy (R-California) invited lawmakers to a Tuesday night screening of a film that reviews described as antisemitic to help improve workplace morale on Capitol Hill.

Since he obtained the gavel in January, McCarthy has struggled to herd fringe Republicans in the House whose constituencies are often populated by QAnon fans. A sizeable number of these congresspersons are staunch defenders of indicted former President Donald Trump and his debunked lies about the 2020 election. In addition to intra-GOP squabbling, deep partisan gullies between the two major parties regarding an exhaustive host of issues reliably lead to drama inside the chamber.

McCarthy's olive branch is a presentation of Sound of Freedom starring Jim Caviezel, whom National Public Radio noted last week has "been a prominent promoter of the false, violent QAnon conspiracy theory — specifically, the baseless claim that an international cabal of elites is abusing and killing children to extract a substance called adrenochrome."

READ MORE: Kevin McCarthy tells Hannity Biden family’s business is 'rising to the level of impeachment inquiry'

Although the production avoids that one topic and was released prior to QAnon's spread, it contains other ideas that resonate with QAnon's believers.

Sound of Freedom "draws from a conspiratorial well that includes a number of anti-Jewish canards, including the 'blood libel' accusation," The Times of Israel explained.

"The adrenochrome theory has roots in a blood libel canard leveled at Jews since the Middle Ages," QAnon researcher Mike Rothschildtold the outlet. "The myth that Jews use the blood of Christian children in rituals was used to justify the torture, imprisonment, and murder of Jews for centuries, even taking a role in Nazi propaganda, before it was adopted by QAnon."

McCarthy asserted at a press conference that Sound of Freedom's theme can unite political adversaries behind a common cause.

"One of my goals is to open up the house and get members working together again. We've made some great progress in that where, where bills actually come through, committees where members are now showing up for work. And so tonight I'm gonna have another movie night," McCarthy said. "I'm hoping Republicans and Democrats can come together, see a movie about human trafficking. We could actually find ways to stop the human trafficking that's continuing to move throughout the world."

Alex Jones: Hillary Clinton A ‘Demon-Antichrist’ Figure

===

Right-wing “journalist” Liz Crokin appeared on Sheila Zilinsky’s podcast earlier this week, where the two unhinged conspiracy theorists discussed Crokin’s assertion that a video exists showing Hillary Clinton sexually abusing and torturing a child.

“I understand that there is a video circulating on the dark web of [Clinton] eating the face of a child,” Zilinsky said. “Does this video exist?”

“Yes,” responded Crokin. “There are videos that prove that Hillary Clinton is involved in child sex trafficking and pedophilia. I have sources that have told me that; I trust these sources, so there is evidence that exists that proves that she is involved in this stuff … I believe with all my heart that this is true.”

After claiming that “the deep state” targeted former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn for destruction because he and his son “were exposing Pizzagate,” Crokin insisted that media reports warning about the ability to use modern technology to create fake videos that make it appear as if famous people are saying or doing things are secretly a part of an effort to prepare the public to dismiss the Clinton video when it is finally released.

“Based off of what lies they report, I can tell what they’re afraid of, I can tell what’s really going on behind the scenes,” she said. “So the fact that they are saying, ‘Oh, if a tape comes out involving Hillary or Obama doing like a sex act or x, y, z, it’s fake news,’ that tells me that there are tapes that incriminate Obama and Hillary.”

As further proof that such tapes exist, Crokin repeated her claim that President Trump’s tweet of a link to a fringe right-wing conspiracy website that featured a video of her discussing this supposed Clinton tape was confirmation of the veracity of her claims.

“When President Trump retweeted MAGA Pill, MAGA Pill’s tweet was my video talking about Hillary Clinton’s sex tape,” she insisted. “I know President Trump, I’ve met him, I’ve studied him, I’ve reported on him … I’ve known him and of him and reported on him for a very long time. I understand how his brain works, I understand how he thinks, I understand ‘The Art of War,’ his favorite book, I understand this man. And I know that President Trump—there’s no way that he didn’t know when he retweeted MAGA Pill that my video talking about Hillary Clinton’s sex tape was MAGA Pill’s pinned tweet. There is no way that President Trump didn’t know that.”

“The man is actually a genius, he has a very high I.Q. and everything he does is intentional,” Crokin continued. “He retweeted MAGA Pill because he wants people to know the truth about Hillary Clinton, that she is a pedophile and that there is a video exposing her as a pedophile … He couldn’t directly retweet my video, but he directly confirmed for me that I was on the right path and that is true, because if it wasn’t true, I do not believe he would have retweeted someone that had my video as their pinned tweet. He is too smart for that.”

An extremist pro-Trump political group sent an activist to a town hall event hosted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to deliver a rant about how people should eat babies to counter climate change. Although it was obvious that the woman who delivered that statement was either unwell or a troll, that didn’t stop right-wing media and the president of the United States from trying to leverage the incident to attack Ocasio-Cortez.

In a video that has gone viral in right-wing circles, a woman at Ocasio-Cortez’s town hall in Queens, New York, stood up and told Ocasio-Cortez: “I think your next campaign slogan has to be this: We have got to start eating babies.” She was wearing a shirt that read “save the planet, eat the children.” Matt Novak reported at Gizmodo that the stunt had been orchestrated by a conspiracy-theory group called LaRouche PAC.

Claims that Democrats eat children are popular among some of the most extreme conspiracy theorists in the right-wing voter base, including those who believe in the QAnon conspiracy theory.Abortion, the conspiracy theorists will often claim, is advanced by Democrats in order to supply babies for politicians to consume. [jewish blood libel?] Torture and consumption of children is a central tenet of conspiracy theories like Pizzagate, and some conspiracy believers have committed violence against those they were told participate in such acts—people have been killed.

It was a hardly subtle political stunt, yet it was laundered through right-wing media to bolster claims that the woman speaking to Ocasio-Cortez represented her constituency of concerned climate activists. If we grant the people who did the laundering some benefit of doubt, perhaps they are genuinely senseless enough to take a woman advocating for eating children as a member of the progressive voter base—but it is much more likely the video provided fodder for their outrage political narratives and they simply didn’t care whether it was rational.

The clip was shared online by The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra, who falsely called the planted activist one of Ocasio-Cortez’s “constituents,” as did political operative James O’Keefe. Breitbart News, Gateway Pundit, Infowars, Fox News, and a myriad of far-right and pro-Trump personalities spread the video with suggestions that the woman talking about eating babies was just another Democrat. It was picked up by the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., and shortly after that it was blasted across the nation from President Donald Trump’s Twitter account...

The founder of the group responsible for the stunt was notorious for anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. As reported by Matt Novak for Gizmodo:

The connection of this stunt to LaRouche was first noted by London-based Matthew Sweet, author of the book Operation Chaos, which looks at conspiracy theorists of the late 1960s, including Lyndon LaRouche Jr., the late cofounder of the group. LaRouche, who was perhaps best known for his antisemitic conspiracy theories, died this past February. LaRouche claimed that Jews were actually funding the KKK and said that the Queen of England wanted to have him killed.

[…]

Aside from yesterday’s outburst, LaRouche PAC has been trying to get “eat children” satire out in other street-level engagements to discredit the environmental movement.The group posted photos to Facebook on October 2 that shows people with signs like “Eat the Children,” as well as other more earnest messages in support of Donald Trump.

In 2010, LaRouche activists were famous for turning up at Tea Party rallies bearing signs featuring images of then-President Barack Obama sporting a Hitler-style mustache. The difference between then and now is that, back then, Republican leaders disavowed them.

‘Eat the Children’: Trump supporter’s wild stunt revealed at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez event

Written by Jon Queally / Common Dreams October 4, 2019

After an exchange with a covert Trump supporter during a local town hall event in her congressional district Thursday night kicked off the viral hashtag #EatTheBabies, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for compassion and told right-wingers waging attacks to “knock it off” in the name of decency.

The incident began when a questioner in the audience asked Ocasio-Cortez about the planetary climate crisis. The woman warned that “we only have a few months left” to act and began to speak about the need to eat human babies in order to solve global warming. As the woman spoke, she removed her coat to reveal a t-shirt that read: “Save the Planet, Eat the Children.”

Though it was obvious the congresswoman, her aides, and others in the room were growing increasingly uncomfortable, the woman was treated with sympathy and dignity as the microphone was taken away.Ocasio-Cortez then attempted to address the issues raised while also seeming to reassure the crowd—and the woman herself—that “if we act in a positive way there’s space for hope. We are never beyond hope.”

Following the event, as footage of the incident began to spread online, mostly pushed by right-wing journalists and media operatives, Ocasio-Cortez took to her Twitter account to acknowledge what had occurred.

Hey everyone!

We had a fabulous town hall tonight & I’ll be highlighting some moments from it.

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!

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) October 4, 2019

“This person may have been suffering from a mental condition,” she added, “and it’s not okay that the right-wing is mocking her and potentially mak[ing] her condition or crisis worse. Be a decent human being and knock it off.”

Some observers surmised the individual may have been acting the part of someone who was unstable to troll the congresswoman in order to discredit her support for a Green New Deal, but it would have been difficult to know that in the moment. Reporting now suggests the whole thing was staged by a pro-Trump group:

That viral #EatTheBabies video from AOC’s town hall?

The woman was a plant and a pro-Trump fringe group that has been described as “a bizarre political cult” is claiming credit for planning the stunt.https://t.co/FUJP7ojfF6

Gizmodo journalist Matt Novak reports Friday morning that “LaRouche PAC, a far-right group that supports Donald Trump, has taken credit for trolling Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during a town hall meeting yesterday.” According to Novak:

“It is textbook stuff,’ Sweet told Gizmodo via Twitter DM, referring to yesterday’s bizarre stunt. “They have been in this game for decades.”

In a new tweet on Friday morning, Ocasio-Cortez acknowledged that the reporting was likely accurate:

Turns out the woman yelling was a Trump supporter ???????

Doesn’t rule out potential mental issue (Drs do that) but good to know they were not in crisis.

Earlier this year I was stalked & very nearly hurt by a disturbed person. I don’t take chances & immediately try to de-escalate.https://t.co/kgWFvigJhy

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) October 4, 2019

Others credited AOC for handling the way she did in the moment.

“Ocasio-Cortez handled the situation at her townhall with the same uncommon empathy & class that she has demonstrates in office every day,” tweeted one online observer. “The last thing to do with someone clearly experiencing a mental health crisis is antagonize or shame them. Well done.”

The congresswoman’s Thursday night plea, however, did not keep the provocative hashtag from proliferating in the right-wing echo chamber as Republicans continued to eat it up.

“The Democrats like @AOC want to kill and #EatTheBabies,” declared Omar Navarro, a Republican challenging Rep. Maxine Waters for her seat in California, on Twitter. “It’s a sick plan. Our @POTUS @realDonaldTrump should have an easy time winning in 2020.”
