Tucker Carlson Smears Greta Thunberg: ‘Emotionally Damaged Child’

Tucker Carlson and guest Dan Holloway suggested that President Biden is deliberately harming the country based on the “fact” that “hysterical” Greta Thunberg “is setting our energy policy.”

Carlson had the following exchange with Holloway on the Fox Nation show, Tucker Carlson Today:

HOLLOWAY: Greta Thunberg is setting our energy policy, I guess, right? Like, a 15-year-old child from another country.

CARLSON: An emotionally damaged child.

HOLLAWAY: Yeah. It's very bizarre. Hanlon’s razor says don’t imply malice when incompetence will suffice. Right? But man, there’s a level of incompetence that almost seems -

CARLSON: It does suggest malice.

HOLLOWAY: Right, what the hell is going on?

CARLSON: No, I couldn’t agree with you more.

FACT CHECK: Thunberg has accomplished more in her "childhood" than Tucker Carlson has in his life. Among her other accomplishments, she was awarded the 2020 Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity, which came with more than a million dollars in prize money – which she gave away to environmental groups. She also won Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience Award. Also, she's 19, not a child.

I’ll go with looking at himself in the mirror and projecting that image onto others. Greta’s single-minded struggle to promote actions that will secure the planet for future generations will be remembered long after Tucker, himself, disappears down the memory hole.

That said, his downfall may be near now that Russian media has decided to quote him extensively as their guy in the know on American matters. His love-fest with Putin and the oligarchs is surpassed only by his Dear Leader down in Florida.

“Greta Thunberg is setting our energy policy…” As usual, start out with a lie and go from there.

Little Tuckerr Carlson is upset at Greta Thunberg? And he’s making more childish comments?

It’s truly a shame that angrr Right Wingers seem to think they can behave like this and profit from it.

As an emotionally damaged and hysterical child himself I imagine it takes one to know one, except Greta isn’t, so he must be looking in the mirror again wishing someone would be his friend.
