Maybe, just maybe and this is a crazy idea but go with me on this...that the reason
@AOC
didn’t denounce the
#EatTheBabies
woman is because she realized this woman was having a mental break and knew that denouncing her might exacerbate the mental break so she listened instead. 🤷🏼♀️

She also tweeted about it later asking people to lay off her and almost immediately the right wingers pounced including baby trump and daddy which is so disgusting

I think I saw that....clearly there was something going on and if she had said something, it might have made it worse

Exactly! The woman was having an episode. Either a trigger or her meds are unbalanced.

Maybe, but I doubt it. Check out the women holding the mic giving her full voice to speak. If that gal said 'eat the black babies,' AOC would have tried (rightfully so) to stop her from ranting on.
Not a single person boo'd that gal's idea to eat babies. WEIRD.

Also because sometimes things shock you so much in the moment, you don’t always know where to begin.

handled her like a class act. She did not demean her or ridicule her for her mental health issues which are immediately apparent. She let her have her say and responded to her without giving her fuel to keep raving. Completely shut her down without making is blunt. Kudos

She showed respect and compassion to a mentally ill woman. She also tried to reassure her that there's always hope

Ya, you can see AOC gets a concerned look and then she puts her mic behind her back. The woman seemed to be cognitively impaired IMO and not able to synthesize the info and concerns r/t climate change.

Empathy is not really part of Twitterworld. But yea, arguing with a woman talking about eating babies is not productive.. kind of like arguing with die hard trump supporters 🤣
