"I stand with Greta."
Uh, check that.Louise Linton, the "Mrs" to U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, used Instagram on Saturday to say that she "stood" with climate activist Greta Thunberg on the side of "drastically reducing" the world's reliance on fossil fuels, and after the Treasury Secretary himself had said (in so many words) that Thunberg should cool her jets on her calls for fossil fuels divestment until the young climate activist has put some college level study of economics under her belt.
It was clear from the messaging that the Treasury Secretary's wife was responding to her husband's own words about Thunberg.

But there's been an apparent walk-back, or possibly a nuanced nod to nuptial non-confrontation, when Linton's social media message about Thunberg and fossil fuels was removed from public view, without further comment from Linton herself.
Linton's Instagram post was removed, but not before it had been screen-captured by journalists and replicated in Tweets by other messaging platform users who wanted to call attention to it.
