Greta Thunberg takes subtle dig at game-show contestant who didn't recognize her

The teenage environmental activist — who has netted 3.8 million followers on the social networking site since she joined in June 2018 — changed her Twitter bio to “Sharon” Friday in a riff on the game-show contestant who failed to recognize her.

The stumped guest on the BBC’s Celebrity Mastermind guessed “Sharon” when the host showed her a photo of Thunberg — who graced Time magazine covers a month earlier as its “person of the year” — causing a stir on Twitter.

“Our climate change global superstar will always be Sharon Thunberg to me from now on,” @WolfWhoWanders tweeted.

As of Saturday, Twitter users viewed video of the bewildered contestant, actress Amanda Henderson, giving the wrong answer 7 million times.

Thunberg’s response to the gaffe had social media suggesting Friday that she should add “comedian” to her bio.

“Greta Thunberg is even more of a hero after changing her Twitter profile name to Sharon,” @SaminSaad wrote.

It’s not the first time Thunberg has used her Twitter bio to clap back at critics.

My bet is that Ragemonkey’s handler did the twitter change and Ragemonkey is oblivious to it all while she wanders around where ever she’s living doing the OCD thing with the water faucet knobs and stove.

15 minutes goes by pretty fast, Gret.

The media are already searching for their next hero youth.

I’d have guessed, “Karen,” but that’s just being mean to the Karen meme.

[[15 minutes goes by pretty fast, Gret.]]

Unfortunately she’s getting much more than 15 minutes- the left will exploit her for decades- and the msm will build her up to St Teressa level unfortunately-

Their new agenda model is “Autistic female child” which will then evolve into “Autistic female lesbian black child”, and noone will ever be able to criticize such a conglomeration of characteristics and immoral lifestyle choice

The story should read Gretta’s Handlers respond back to Twitter. This kid is kept locked in a cage and let out for publicity stunts.

Dear Twitter World: Greta does not write her own Tweets. They are written by an adult and manipulative propaganda organization. Just like AOC, she is for all purposes a paid actress who agrees with their nitwit ideology but is too stupid to see through the culty dogma and definitely too dunderheaded to write her own PR tweets.

Her ego is going to get the best of her if it hasn’t all ready.

It’s too bad Greta reached puberty.

Who did you hear that line from? Joe Biden?

Good one, but that wasn’t my point. My point was more SIDS related.

"I remember being at some event where nametags were provided. The woman checking in near me proudly stated she needed no nametag, since “everyone knew her.” I had no idea who she was, and when I asked a few other attendees, neither did they. It became a private joke as the day went on, and at the end of the day, we still didn’t know who she was."

Reminds me of an old airline joke.

Angry man at the service desk, pounding on the counter: "Do you know who I am??"

Airline rep, over the intercom: "Security to gate 23. We have a gentleman here who doesn't know who he is."

I predict this self-entitled, mentally-unbalanced, often-abused nitwit will eventually ax-murder her abusing leftist parents just prior to killing her self. She is one sick puppy.
