As Twitchy reported back in April, teen climate change activist Greta Thunberg is off-limits and not to be “attacked” for a long list of reasons.

GRETA THUNBERG

Those that "attack" the sixteen-year-old climate activist on social media should, perhaps, bare in mind that she has been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder & Selective Mutism. And remember, she is just sixteen-years-old. pic.twitter.com/UIkChfl6ZS — Jim Slater (@69mib) April 24, 2019

Can we still question her message, though? She uses her own youth to encourage other young people to tap into their anger at preceding generations that left the Earth nearly inhabitable.

She recently landed in the United States after taking a solar-powered, zero-emissions boat across the Atlantic, and was “attacked” for having a Joe Biden moment while speaking. Was it kind of a cheap shot? Yeah, but we’re more concerned with the fawning audience that cheers when she says, “My brain is not working correctly.” Woo hoo!

"Sorry, my brain is not working correctly" Looks like Greta Thunberg has early-onset Joe Biden disease. pic.twitter.com/1WH1iXoYgM — Boomieleaks (@notwokieleaks) August 28, 2019

Great job, dude. Insulting a guy who made it to VP, and a girl who's just sailed across an ocean, while you sit and burp and fart on your couch. — Michael Marshall Smith (@ememess) August 31, 2019

Why on earth would you make such a sick "joke" about a young girl with autism? — Joni (@RumourNoel) August 30, 2019

okay boomer let's make fun of autistic minors, very normal thing — Lubzaboht (@gwen_no_fear) August 30, 2019

As we said, it probably wasn’t the best take, but after a few days, CNN’s chief climate correspondent Bill Weir got word of it and exploded.

Swedish is her first language.

She suffers from Autism and just spent two week on a sail boat to help spread an existential warning from the smartest scientists alive.

But good take, Boomie.

You’re fucking hilarious. https://t.co/lRJt2wFio4 — Bill Weir (@BillWeirCNN) August 31, 2019

Please stop bullying me. — Boomieleaks (@notwokieleaks) August 31, 2019

Not to be pedantic, sincerely, but isn’t it kind of insulting to assume that someone “suffers” from autism? And the question remains — can one argue with Lundberg without being accused of “attacking” her?

Then it sort of makes you wonder why so many adults insist that she act as an Anglophone spokes-mascot for their movement, doesn't it, Bill? — White Chocolate (@rhodeislander) August 31, 2019

Can we at least agree this looks unhealthy for the child? — A Gandhi (@Apu2024) August 31, 2019

No.

How are they getting back? — JesterSMX (@JesterSMX) August 31, 2019

Don't feel too bad for her Bill. She'll make a lucrative career for herself out of this just as soon as the TWO CREWS FLY over the pond to pick the boat up. — Hacker Holdings LLC (@HoldMyGlencairn) August 31, 2019

Bill… you spelled “a young girl with a serious disease is being abused by her parents to advance their left-wing political agenda” wrong. — Gayzilla (@AmericanHomocon) August 31, 2019

Why would someone encourage a child with a serious developmental disorder to be the spokesperson and lightning rod of such a controversial movement? It's like Terrorists who push forward children as human shields and then cry: "How dare you harm this child!" — JacquesDoreseyPhD (@JDoresey) August 31, 2019

Virtue signaling rejected. — MCap (@rightgay27) August 31, 2019

Ah.. chief climate correspondent. No wonder you need global warming to be true. Otherwise you might have to get a job — 2019 BINGO Ranger (@mecantyping) August 31, 2019
