While conservatives have some points of contention with Swedish teen Greta Thunberg’s rabid climate change activism, leftists are accusing them of outright attacking the child activist.
Attacking CHILDREN (because make no mistake, a 16 year old is a child) for any reason, especially political, is a gross look for anyone. If you can’t make your point w/o attacking a child, keep your mouth shut.

Caring about things is whack
So is using a child with aspergers to try to propel an agenda of outrage culture
So are cons attacking children

He is blatantly making fun of a child. He holds the highest office in the US and this is how he spends his time? Making fun of children on Twitter?

But several right-leaning pundits have noticed that there is a glaring discrepancy between how Thunberg is being treated by conservatives, and how Nick Sandmann was treated after the media picked up on edited footage of the Covington Catholic School students just standing there.
The same people who say we can’t criticize 16-year old ANTIFA climate activist Greta Von Thunburg
…Spent months shamelessly attacking the Covington Catholic High School kids—just because they supported our president

Why was it ok to criticize one 16-year-old but not the other. pic.twitter.com/MYODghRyph

The Covington boys did nothing more than stand on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and look what the left did to them

Covington’s Nick Sandmann and Greta Thunberg. My, what a contrast in media’s treatment of them. pic.twitter.com/TQbDa4hy1A

Don’t forget: Little Greta is the same age as Nick Sandmann (the Covington Highschool boy who was smeared). THE MORE YOU KNOW!

President Trump even had something to say, but was relatively kind considering his history of nicknaming his intellectual opponents. He opted for sarcasm instead of insults.

Liberal Twitter was out in full force to justify the blatant abuse hurled toward the Covington kids, which included a Hollywood producer fantasizing about throwing them into a woodchipper, CNN’s Reza Aslan calling Sandmann’s face “punchable,” and calling on people to burn Covington and “fire on” the students.
One was being racist and the other one was trying to save the world.

One was bullying someone who wants to protect the environment. The other is being bullied for wanting to protect the environment. If you can’t tell the difference, you just might be a Trump cultist.

Yes, it is almost like people have a negative reaction towards smug entitled white kids mocking native americans.

It’s yet another glaring example of liberal double standards and selective outrage. And good on conservatives for calling it out.
