Climate activist Greta Thunberg is not phased by criticism she receives from world leaders and presidents.
During an appearance on “The View” Monday, co-host Joy Behar asked Thunberg if she is ever intimidated by the criticism she receives and what gave her “the courage to do this.”
Thunberg replied, “It’s a very strange situation to be in. It’s not everyone who has that kind of platform and when these world leaders, like presidents, when they literally mock and harass you online, it’s very entertaining to be honest because it really means that we are annoying them.”
She added, “That’s the proof that we are doing something good, that we are doing something that has an impact.”
Watch the video below:
Former President Donald Trump mocked Thunberg on Twitter in 2019 after Time decided to name her “Person of the Year,” as IJR previously reported.
“So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!” Trump tweeted.
Then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden took to Twitter to defend Thunberg, “What kind of president bullies a teenager? , you could learn a few things from Greta on what it means to be a leader.”
Thunberg fired back at Trump by poking fun at him after he called on states to stop vote counts in November of 2020.
“So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!” Thunberg tweeted.
