Noting that she is made up to look younger is not an attack on her looks but rather how she is presented to look younger.

Secondly if you slowly re-read their post they were not picking on her disability but wondering about the ethics behind taking a young girl with disabilities and making a global spokesperson out of her and potentially exploiting her.

Now we may not agree with these assertions by that poster but you clearly missed what they wrote and imagined something else.

Why are you picking on the looks of a teenager? Maybe she likes that look. Not everybody likes to wear makeup or dress like a FoxNews host. The tweeter in chief is far more unstable and you seem to admire him. He also has mental challenges or aren’t you aware he’s a narcissist who is unable to control himself? Have you read his tweets where he accuses people of murder?
What did I say that was disparaging to HER? I called out her backers and handlers for making her look like a little kid for MARKETING PURPOSES. But, you know that and are purposely trying to make me look like a bully. So in effect YOU are the one doing the bullying out of pure dishonesty. They are exploiting her which is abusive, especially to someone who may be able to not make good decision for herself. Yet, YOU think it is fine that she is exploited in this manner to advance your nutty agenda.

They referenced those in the context of claiming that she is possibly being exploited and intentionally portrayed as much younger than she really is.

Umm.

CNN: Ban doctors from speaking out on COVID-19 on YouTube and Facebook, but Greta Thunberg, that teen climate change activities who has zero medical or epidemiologist experience, sure, bring her on!!
CNN must be complete devoid of any self-awareness. They must be completely devoid of taking the temp or being able to read a room properly. Why the hell would anyone really care what a 17 yr old kid, an annoying kid at that, would have to say about the virus. I mean ask your local neighbor kid, from 6 feet away with a mask what they think, it's about the equivalent.

Why those nitwits would make a townhall type show out it is a joke. It probably explains why their ratings suck.

Also of note, while I generally like Sebelius she was the HHS director for a very short period of time before getting canned because of the horrible roll-out of the enrollment for Obamacare.

Even she is a pretty sketchy selection for a panel on this topic.

It's a clown show over there, I mean literally a clown show. Let's see how many of them we can stuff into a phone box.

It's about the equivalent of this. I mean jeez, who is making these types of calls thinking that heir viewers would be entertained by that annoying lecturing twit. I watched her at a conference where she was off script and she looked like a deer in the headlights. So bad that I about felt sorry for her. Being trotted around like some kind of pawn.
