One reason I don't like her is she was mean to a bunch of kids asking her to vote to save the planet.
Not just mean. Dismissive, rude, condescending. It is disgusting that a politician can do this to a bunch of kids looking to brighten their future. Disgusting. You could just see the hope disappear from those kids' eyes.
Seriously, all she had to do was make a bunch of supportive noises, pose for some pictures and then have her staff usher them out - she went out of her way to shit all over those kids and the adults/teens that were with them, with her only real argument being "fuck you - I'm a politician, i don't have to do shit you say"
Yeah her asshole reaction to those awesome kids was truly awful. I already had problems with her stance on a number of other issues (domestic surveillance, for example), but the way she treated those kids made me lose all respect for her.
To be fair, her reaction might have been early dementia.
To be completely fair, if you have early dementia you shouldn't be a Senator.
