"She is no elite mascot". I agree, Brooks, and thanks for your writings around this subject. She needs to not allow people to treat her as a mascot, either. I thought the way Obama treated her, came across really bad. She was used, for his own ends. From Obama's own video of their meeting (put out by Obama.org as a sort of promotional) you see him infantilising Thunberg by doing childish fist-bumps with her - and no serious hard discussion gets featured.
