You can tell Fox News is terrified of Greta Thunberg and her uncompromising, emotional climate protest movement, because they won't stop insulting her.

The 16-year-old Swedish activist made headlines this week for spearheading New York’s protest during the global climate strikes and for her powerful speech pressuring world leaders to act on climate change. Pundit Michael Knowles, appearing in a segment about “climate hysteria” on “The Story” on Monday, used the opportunity to throw an ugly attack at Thunberg.

“The climate hysteria movement is not about science,” said Knowles, a podcast host on the Daily Wire. “If it were about science, it would be led by scientists rather than by politicians and a mentally ill Swedish child who is being exploited by her parents and by the international left.”





Another guest on the show, liberal radio host Christopher Hahn, jumped in and fired back at Knowles. “You’re a grown man and you’re attacking a child,” Hahn said. “Shame on you.”
