Michelle Obama is standing up for 16-year-old environmental activist Greta Thunberg after US President Donald Trump mocked the teen for being named. "Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!"The former first lady had words of wisdom to share with Thunberg and took to Twitter to share her support.
".@GretaThunberg, don't let anyone dim your light. Like the girls I've met in Vietnam and all over the world, you have so much to offer us all. Ignore the doubters and know that millions of people are cheering you on," Obama tweeted early on Friday.
"What kind of grown man decides to write this tweet and then send it? What kind of President tells a child to chill when she's trying to save the planet? And maybe most importantly, who still supports this man? #LeaveGretaAlone," she tweeted. Bette Midler took the opportunity to call out the current first lady, Melania Trump, over "the hypocrisy" of her Be Best anti-bullying initiative after her husband's tweet.
"... Her husband's bullying Ms. Thunberg, a child, seems to have gone unnoticed by her 'team,' and by extension, by Melania herself," she tweeted.
