'I haven't followed Greta Thundberg or however you say your name, Tunberg. I don't know how to say her name even, I haven't followed her [...] I didn't have the bandwidth to look into her, I was looking into other stuff I don't know anything really about her, er, but it seems weird that she won't answer these questions. Now, I don't know if this has anything to do with her being autistic but maybe... [interrupted]'
FFS Jimmy, you didn't have the bandwidth to look into her or this teensie little problem that's coming our way called climate change? (The only time I see him mention it is when he's calling out the hypocrisy of US democrats supporting the oil industry.) I guess I shouldn't shame people for ignorance or not getting involved in activism on this issue when they're doing good work in other areas, but this looks like targeted ignorance to me. Especially if he's going to do a hit job on Thunberg, air out all the right wing talking points against environmentalists with no response, and freely admit that he hasn't even bothered to find out what she's said and done. F* me, at least watch a youtube video of one of her speeches or something...
