Melanie unleashed tooth, fang & claw when the name "Barron" was spoken, but Greta? Not so much.



Co-host Meghan McCain also expressed her displeasure with Trump’s 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 Trump’s 13-year-old son, Barron while explaining the difference between the president and a king.

“It’s hard for me to talk about Greta Thunberg because she’s 16, and I don’t 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 don’t agree with attacking her as I don’t 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 Barron’s name to be used as an analogy or a pun, and I don’t think it’s appropriate for the president to go after a teenager who has Asperger’s [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. She’s married to the bully-in-chief. I would like to see that same kind of energy.”

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".

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.
