Violet Affleck took the stage at the United Nations (U.N.) to demand clean air and as her father, Hollywood star Ben Affleck, wrestles with his smoking habit.
Wearing a KN95 mask, the 19-year-old Yale freshman addressed the "Healthy Indoor Air: A Global Call to Action" panel Tuesday in New York.
Over four minutes, Violet urged governments to bring back mask mandates, invest in clean-air infrastructure and recognize "filtered air as a human right as intuitively as we do filtered water."
"We can create clean air infrastructure that is so ubiquitous and so obviously necessary so that tomorrow’s children don’t even know why we need it," Violet warned delegates. But one expert

White, affluent, liberal privilege on display. How else do you manage to get a forum like this to blather your nonsense?
An AWFL in training - soon to head up a Free Palestine or BLM riot near you.

Another liberal loon looking for her 15 minutes. I'm sure the world really cares what this masked nutjob has to say.

Doesn't the UN have more pressing matters to deal with? If her name was Violet Brown would she have been asked to speak?

The counter-attack to the criticism of Climate Change has begun! I fear that this is not the last we hear from this dingbat. As has been proven quite often by hollywood, good looks do not translate to a functioning brain. Instead of a mask, might I suggest a full hood with a locking chain on the bottom?

Please allow me to retract the "good looks" remark. Upon further study, she looks way too much like Dougie Emhoff's daughter.

Liberals tried to mandate indoor mask use during Covid. Remember that? And also remember, 19 year old children of celebrities know more than you do. lol. As Rush used to say: "Young skulls full of mush." Nothing more insane than a stupid liberal teenage female lecturing the world from the podium at the UN.

I like her glasses. There was a cartoon character that had glasses like that. Was it the Far Side? I wonder if they have safety lenses to keep the germs out of her eyes.

The strange part is that when most people smoked tobacco the world was a lot less crazy.

After smoking two or more packs a day for twenty-two years, I quit cold turkey twenty-six years ago, and never went back. Within three weeks of quitting, the smell of others' cigarettes in public had become unpleasant. About once every ten years, I even have the confidence in certain circumstances to bum one cig from a friend, enjoy it, and maybe not ever touch another one. So smoking is pleasurable to me, but I don't want it anymore. Quitting was nothing more than a decision, enforceable by me. It really wasn't that tough. If Affleck wants to quit, he can quit. he just chooses not to.
Violet is a father taught fanatic who didn't hear that masks were not effective and are not effective in filtering viruses. She needs to forget Fauci and dig RFK! I'm so thankful that my siblings and I didn't have our ears filled with a bunch of political tommyrot when we were growing up. Violet wasn't so lucky.

I'm still waking up but I skimmed the headlines and this caught my attention: "Violent Attack...". I thought "yet another lefty terrorist attack" before I blinked a few times and saw it was her name. It turns out my first impression wasn't that far off.

Oh, great: a Yale freshman raised in Hollywood speaking at the UN. What could go wrong?
She “demands” clean air? Well, I demand she shut her cakehole and go back home.

I'm ok with Violet wearing a mask. It suits her. It's when Violet thinks she can mandate that everyone else in the world must wear a mask that I have a problem with her.

Ditto #5. There are still a few people wearing masks in public but they haven't received their invite from the UN yet.

To quote Ronald Reagan, the trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant it's just that they know so much that isn't so.

Each generation of acting celebrity lowers the credibility and relevance another order of magnitude. Violet's kid will approach complete vacuity.

Who's stopping her from masking up? The only people banning masks are Democrats.

She's going to make Greta Thunberg jealous.
This idiot wants a mask mandate because of air pollution. She's the daughter of a 'celebrity', therefore 'important', and everyone should follow her every word.

Another reason NOT to hire any Ivy League graduates (presuming she does graduate).
She likely doesn't even realize she lives in the country with the CLEANEST AIR.

Isnt she actually a man? And as for the mask, he needs it, and more. He needs to cover as much of that head as he can.
