Julia Hartley-Brewer trying to explain away her ‘autistic’ Greta Thunberg tweet is today’s most satisfying watch

You might remember that a subplot from Greta Thunberg’s fabulous multi-part takedown of Andrew Tate was this brief but notable contribution by Talk TV person, Julia Hartley-Brewer.

Hartley-Brewer joined in on Twitter to tell everyone – in not so many words – that she was on Team Tate.

She later deleted the tweet after getting just the right amount of criticism she deserved for the way she appeared to use ‘autistic’ to describe Thunberg.

Which is to say, a lot.

I've deleted my previous tweet that mentioned Greta's autism because – although I only referred to it because she states it in her own Twitter biog – people decided to take offence at a fact. Even though they had no problem with this woman calling a man "small dick". Yawn. 2/2

So now Hartley-Brewer has been back on Talk TV trying to further explain what she meant by doing it and why she deleted it, that sort of thing.

And it’s an (unintentionally) hugely entertaining watch, surely the most satisfying thing you’ll see today.

Nailed it, Julia. No notes.

Julia Hatred-Spewer knows she took the performative hate too far and is now furiously backpedalling.
Why on earth would you 'take Andrew Tate over Greta Thunberg' if you didn't know anything about him?
All she's worried about is the possibility of losing future job opportunities.

Such a weird attempt at gaslighting given that she included the word autistic within a group of adjectives of which all the others were clearly intended as derogatory

What question was she asking the guy?

So to sum up this endless shit flow of words: "I tweet about things I know nothing about as long as it fits into hate against Greta". Did I get this right?
