So planting somebody and saying things they don't believe is not being deceptive in your opinion? You're talking about eating babies not because AOC has those views but because some group from the right staged a stunt. If her views are so extreme why indulge in such bizarre and horrid deceptions? Is this really something Tucker and Hannity spend much time on?
If you'd watched the Glenn Beck clip I posted above, they explained that it's performance art.
And within 24 hours, the Larouche activists were taking credit for it. I fail to see how this was deceptive, no one tried to hide their intent, beyond getting the media to take a bite at it.
There have been many similar pranks, such as one I recall about 15 years ago, where a bunch of protestors were picketing Barney the Dinosaur for having Satanic messages, and 24 hours later, the group took credit for completely making it up,
after the story had been picked up by local and national news networks nationwide.
Their point was to expose how easy it was to make a sensational and completely false story go viral across hundreds of stations nationwide,
completely unconfirmed. Any one of those stations could have checked the factss, but didn't. That's the point.
The "world is going to end in 12 years" Democrat narative is likewise given exposure nationwide
completely unconfirmed for the last year. All this performance protestor did was mimic the liberal rhetoric, and expose how easy it is to advance this factless narrative without any media scrutiny. She also expressed the fear that liberal "only 12 years" narrative is instilling in a lot of liberal true believers.
It's a much more intelligent and resonant heckling of their Democrat opposition, than say, shouting down Ann Coulter or Ben Shapiro or Condoleezza Rice, or tossing glitter on Newt Gingrich. This took up about 1 minute of Ocasio-Cortez's town hall meeting, vs. the complete shutdown of conservative speech, and
violence against conservatives expressing their free speech and Trump support, where rather than a dialogue, Democrats use slander, intimidation and violence to shut down any opinions they disagree with.
