'You're a grown man and you're attacking a child. Shame on you,' ex-Schumer aide Chris Hahn said.
A former aide to Senator Chuck Schumer yelled at a Fox News guest live on-air on Monday evening for calling Greta Thunberg"a mentally ill Swedish child."
The topic of climate change was discussed to varying degrees on cable channels today after teen environmental activist Greta Thunberg, 16, delivered a scathing speech at the United Nations Climate Action Summit where she rebuked world leaders for destroying childhoods with their inability to properly combat climate change."I shouldn't be up here. I should be back at school on the other side of the ocean," Thunberg said."Yet you all come to us young people for hope.
During a segment on Fox News, host Harris Faulkner discussed the impact of meat diets on the environment with guests Michael Knowles, host of, and ex-Schumer aide Chris Hahn. The group's discussion quickly descended into a shouting match after Knowles referred to Thunberg as"a mentally ill Swedish child."
"Ironically, there was a study that came out of Carnegie Mellon University in 2015, which showed that meatless diets are actually far worse for the environment than meat-filled diets. They increase emissions, they increase water use, they increase energy use," Knowles said.
Two Fox News guests argued live on-air on Monday evening after one called 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg a"mentally ill Swedish child."President Donald Trump, who remains skeptical about global warming, has not only questioned climate scientists from his own government, his administration has also wound back numerous climate initiatives and vowed to pull the U.S. from the Paris climate accord.
