Greta Thunberg fires back at heckler: ‘If you want to speak to me personally, we can do it later’

During a rally in Charlotte, N.C., this Friday, 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg drew thunderous applause after shutting down a heckler who interrupted her speech.

“I think if you want to speak with me personally, maybe you can do it later,” Thunberg said before the crowd broke into cheers and chants of her name.

The heckler, who can be heard off camera yelling an unintelligible screed, seemed to back off after Thunberg called her out.

Watch the moment below. The relevant portion begins at about the 4:30 mark of the video:
