You know, it’s a damn shame that Nelson Mandela wasn’t born on July 4 instead of July 18. Otherwise, Prince Harry could’ve given this America-bashing keynote address at the U.N. on Independence Day instead:

“From the horrific war in Ukraine, to the rolling back of constitutional rights here in the United States, we are witnessing a global assault on democracy and freedom, the cause of Mandela’s life.”

This bit was just icing on the cake:
Prince Harry says climate change has left him feeling 'battered and helpless' https://t.co/eG1B5tVR1v

Of course he’s not been left battered and helpless by any of the climate change he himself has contributed to:

Now seems like as good a time as ever to bust it out. Let’s see it, Harry!
I always get the royals mixed up. This is the Nazi cosplay one, right? https://t.co/cMj6v6qQNG

Yep! That’s him.
Anyway, let’s circle back to the “America sucks” portion of Harry’s speech, shall we?

Looks like it’s playing just great so far:

How embarrassing for him https://t.co/EH8FAAcU5Z
— Rebeccah Heinrichs (@RLHeinrichs) July 18, 2022
We’re embarrassed for him, at least. He doesn’t seem embarrassed at all, which in itself is pretty embarrassing.
Abortion is not a constitutional right. Btw, you’re free to move back to England if things are too rough for you here now, Prince. https://t.co/DQFPXDTEMh

go back home then, b*tch https://t.co/w3ECxqWjIu

Yeah. Last time we checked, nobody was forcing Harry to be here.
The UN having a British royal come lecture to Americans about Democracy is pretty perfect. Did anyone think this one through?
— Matt Whitlock (@mattdizwhitlock) July 18, 2022
This is what it looks like when the U.N. thinks things through. That’s the really amazing part!
Just a terrible and stupid decision on both the U.N. and Harry’s parts.
Also, isn't he an ex-prince? His whole claim to fame came from being born and then he quit. Why is the UN having him speak?
— Ramesh Ponnuru (@RameshPonnuru) July 18, 2022
A British royal that is not even Royal any more and has decided that the best place in the entire world for him to live and raise his family is the USA.
— Walton (@WaltonBuzzGT) July 18, 2022
If Harry’s going to insist on living here, the least he can do is learn to appreciate how good he has it. We won’t tell him to shut up, because even a wretched little nit like him can enjoy freedom of speech here.
This is the same guy who called the First Amendment "bonkers" https://t.co/iEUX9qWgcf

OK, on second thought, maybe Harry should shut up.
the next war the US and UK will fight will be over who has to keep Harry https://t.co/TLg1A48g3Z

Well, there are more of us than there are of them. And we say they can have him back.
