Greta, 16, shed tears on Monday during a passionate speech at the UN Climate Summit, as she slammed world leaders for "stealing my childhood".

The youngster has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, selective mutism and OCD.

During a debate on Good Morning Britain, Piers said he felt "uncomfortable" during her speech, knowing she has come from a "damaged background which should not be ignored".

But co-host Susanna said she found it difficult listening to Piers having a go at her.

She said: "I find it very uncomfortable you criticising her. I think describing her as 'unstable' it is very unfair."

Piers interrupted her, once again calling Greta "unstable".

Trying to speak over him Susanna added: "But you get upset when people criticise President Trump when he's in full flow and being unstable."

“the kid isn’t fair game, etc...”

The kid isn’t fair game? Remember the great care and sensitivity the Mainstream Media used in their reporting on the incident with the Covington Kids?

Regardless I feel sorry for this abused, propagandized child. A 16 year old should be rebelling against authority figures and exploring her own identity, not mindlessly parroting the ideology of her parents and their Globalist handlers.

She said: "I find it very uncomfortable you criticising her. I think describing her as 'unstable' it is very unfair."

I don't read Ann Coulter any more, but some years ago she made an excellent point. She said that the Left tries to use spokesmen who are designated victims -- orphans, widows, the disabled, etc. They get to trumpet their message and you are NOT allowed to disagree or counter-attack. "She's a widow! How can you be so mean to her???"

Unstable, autistic 16-year old kid? Perfect spokesperson for Climate Change!

Greta is clinically, medically mentally ill and disabled.

Besides having Asperger’s syndrome, she has a history of serious depression, anxiety, OCD, and self harm. She is incapable of being in a regular school, incapable of even being in a public school special ed program. She WAS in a special school for children with extreme special mental and emotional needs.

Before she started freaking out and having constant nightmares about global warming, she was freaking out and having nightmares about other things, all kinds of things. She’s probably on multiple antipsychotic medications in order to not have to be institutionalized.

GRETA IS MENTALLY DISABLED AND MENTALLY ILL!!!!

I almost wonder if Piers is having a slow-moving epiphany...

He seems to be questioning the party line more and more these days...

That unfortunate photo reminds me of one of those murderous cultists from the movie “Midsommar.”

For her sake, I hope she wakes up to the real problems Sweden faces. If there’s anyone bent on stealing a kid’s childhood, they’re living in Malmo.

Sorry...My bad, I meant to say some people believe kids ARE fair game.

I don't believe so IN THIS CASE. Greta clearly has issues and I feel she's a pawn. She's also 16 3/4 yrs old.

Elsewhere, I never felt compelled to say anything about the Obama, Bush, Clinton etc minors even if they were saying something.

By contrast, David Hogg was 17-going-on-18 and knew darn well what HE was doing. He seemed to be itching for a fight. He invited the criticism.

She has Down’s syndrome

[N. Theknow]

The youngster has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, selective mutism and OCD.. As well as PFF and UAP.

PFF =Played For a Fool and UAP= Used As a Pawn.

No doubt her parents and handlers have used her mental illness and disabilities to THEIR full benefit and advantage.

That looks like Michael J. Pollard in the background. He hadn’t changed a bit - looks exactly the same as he did in Bonnie and Clyde (the 1st time I ever saw him.)

[catnipman]

turns out that little UN Greta is simply a professional actress, with an actress mother and actor father:

"A mentally disabled child crying for action."

Did you mean, "...crying for attention"?

[jackibutterfly]

"Remember the great care and sensitivity..."

You should have had "great care and sensitivity" in quotes.

We have every right in the world to criticize this devil child. She has openly declared war on productive people. The only people on the planet who stand a chance in hell of surviving the returning ice age. Her and all her supporters will be annihilated.

[spudville]

Both, I’m sure.

I get it...let's use Alinsky on them, 3D chess, no prisoners, the kid isn't fair game, etc...but when a child's parents aren't protecting their Aspie child from harm, I'd rather shine light on the weak and effective parenting. THAT, to me, is the real story here..how the environmentalist movement has lowered itself (if that was possible) to use a special needs child to further their movement with total disregard to her safety and inevitable memes etc of which she'll be the subject.

Difficult to say, but I suspect suicide at 13.

Had comedy had any balls these days, she’d be a great SNL skit.

I’m thinking of the scene in The Exorcist, with the spinning head and pea soup...
