Fox News apologizes to Greta Thunberg after commentator calls her 'mentally ill'
By Jessica Chasmar
Fox News apologized Monday night after The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles repeatedly called attention to the mental health issues of 16-year-old climate change activist Greta Thunberg.
Greta went viral Monday after giving an emotional speech at the United Nations Climate Action Summit, scolding world leaders for their inaction on reducing emissions.
“You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words,” the teen said.
Reacting to her speech on Fox News’ “The Story,” Mr. Knowles called attention to Greta’s mental health issues but was quickly admonished by liberal commentator Christopher Hahn.
“The climate hysteria movement is not about science,” Mr. Knowles said. “If it were about science it would be led by scientists rather than by politicians and a mentally ill Swedish child who is being exploited by her parents and by the international left.”
“How dare you,” Mr. Hahn interjected. “You’re a grown man and you’re attacking a child — shame on you.”
