Co-host Meghan McCain also expressed her displeasure with Trumps attack on the teen while at the same time admitting that she is not a fan of Thunberg and pointed out the White House meltdown when Stanford University professor Pamela Karlan, made a reference to President Donald Trumps 13-year-old son, Barron while explaining the difference between the president and a king.
Its hard for me to talk about Greta Thunberg because shes 16, and I dont believe in attacking underaged people, McCain stated. I disagree with her, and I think everyone knows how I feel about climate change and religion on the left, but I dont agree with attacking her as I dont agree with attacking Barron Trump.
Where is Melania? host Behar jumped in. She was so upset about that lawyer or historian.
I did not think it was appropriate for Barrons name to be used as an analogy or a pun, and I dont think its appropriate for the president to go after a teenager who has Aspergers [syndrome] who is a climate activist, co-host Sunny Hostin added before turning to the first lady. I would like to see the same kind of energy and verve which she used for her son, and she has a platform just like many first ladies, and hers is be best in terms of social media bullying. Shes married to the bully-in-chief. I would like to see that same kind of energy.

OP
Yet another false equivalency. Meanwhile, Thunberg has been mocked repeatedly.

That's her. It's just a pair of sunglasses that doesn't look particularly good on her.

No way is that her.
And yes, she's a hypocritical POS.

a couple times.

I saw a pic of her in sunglasses at nighttime and knew she was an imposter. Maybe melania gets so disgusted with MF 45 she refuses to do photo ops so they bring out the stunt double.

JFC, the Right Wing Bullshit Machine twists anything and everything.
If anyone was "attacked" by Karlan's analogy, it was President Asshole, AKA "John Barron".

That is NOT Melania.

Seems likely that trump ordered the barron defense, complete with trump like hot shit.

Why? It would also be wrong to bully any teen. But Greta is tougher than whiny little Trump.

There are other pictures of her on that day. It's clearly her.
