Freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was confronted by a constituent Thursday night on her support for pursuing an impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump.
If you collect conspiracy theories, here’s a new one for you.
According to a woman who attended a town hall meeting for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14), the British House of Lords is behind the impeachment of Donald Trump.
AOC later tweeted that the unnamed woman was a Trump supporter who had ties to the cult connected to the late Lyndon LaRouche. Use of the word “coup” by the woman at the town hall certainly points a finger in the direction of Trumpsters.
The LaRouchies are bizarre even by the standards of US conspiracy nuts. Among other things, they contend that Queen Elizabeth II is at the center of the international illegal drug trade and that her husband Prince Phillip wants to start World War III. Their founder Lyndon LaRouche started spewing such things in the 1970s.
Given their tendency to create their own reality, they may see Donald Trump as a kindred spirit. They have become fervent Trump supporters. They became leaderless when their founder died early in 2019 and could be looking to The Donald for guidance in conspiracies.
Indeed, Trump operative Roger Stone has tried to develop a relationship with them. And yes, there is also a LaRouche-Russia connection. 🇷🇺
So if AOC’s town hall is an indication, we’ll be seeing more bursts of activity by LaRouchies through this presidential election cycle.
