AOC Defends Greta Thunberg After U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin Takes A Swipe At Her

What better way to celebrate the impeachment you're too scared to testify at than by lashing out at a teenage climate activist.


While speaking about Greta Thunberg at the Davos World Economic Forum, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said that "she's in no position to give economic advice until she goes to college and comes out with an economic degree."

He also added this condescending ditty:

"Is she the chief economist? Who is she, I'm confused."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quickly responded on Twitter, defending the teenage climate change activist.

Many other people on Twitter also came to Greta's side.



Grown men, especially those who run powerful branches of government, shouldn't get their kicks making fun of high schoolers.



Mnuchin is hardly a paragon of virtue anyway.


Before long, Thunberg herself had responded to the Treasury Secretary's comments, saying:

"It doesn't take a college degree in economics to realise that our remaining 1,5° carbon budget and ongoing fossil fuel subsidies and investments don't add up."

Thunberg is probably happy to know she has many allies even here in America.


This should go without saying...but bullying young women just trying to make a better world doesn't make you a good person.

Nancy Mace Has Unhinged Meltdown After Voter Asks Her About Town Halls In Bonkers Video

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was criticized after she filmed her argument with a voter who asked her if she'd be hosting any more town halls this year—only for Mace refer to him as an "unhinged lunatic" for approaching her in the first place.

Over the weekend, Mace shared a video she recorded in the skincare aisle of a South Carolina Ulta store, in which she confronts a man she assumes is gay after he inquired about her public schedule. While the man remained calm and kept a respectful distance, Mace quickly escalated the situation—invoking LGBTQ+ topics without prompting, shouting profanities, and accusing him of harassment.

MAGA MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Dragged After Weeping To Judge That He Has No Money To Pay Fines

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was mocked online after it emerged that he reportedly sobbed to a judge that he's "in ruins" and doesn't have the money to pay a court-ordered $50,000 fine to the voting software company Smartmatic, which he falsely claimed had rigged the 2020 election results in favor of former President Joe Biden.

Appearing via Zoom at a hearing in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., Lindell claimed Wednesday that he doesn’t even have “5 cents” to put toward the $56,396 he owes the company, telling the court he has “nothing” beyond two homes currently being liquidated and a truck. He has recently laid off hundreds of MyPillow employees due to what he described as severe financial distress.
