Trump booed and met with chants of 'vote him out' while paying respects to Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Source: Independent UK

President Donald Trump was met with loud booing and chants of “vote him out!” as he arrived at the Supreme Court on Thursday morning to pay respects to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Videos from Capitol Hill showed the president wearing a face mask and standing alongside first lady Melania Trump at the Supreme Court, with countless onlookers shouting and booing towards the couple.

The late justice was lying in repose at the Supreme Court before she was set to lie in state at the US Capitol becoming the first woman to be given the honour.

Flanked by guards and her former law clerks, thousands of people have shown up to pay respects to justice Ginsburg, who died on Friday of metastatic pancreatic cancer. She was 87.

Great job by the crowd. Don’t pretend for a second that this criminal deserves to be there.

He'll mention how everyone was cheering him on while he was showing respect to RBG. Just you wait.

Those chants were clearly very painful to him... he only could stand them for a few seconds before retreating.

Also, it looks like someone convinced him to make an effort... He wore a blue tie, a mask, and he got a haircut for the occasion.

My mother was a malignant narcissist... not the power hungry kind, but she was in a constant mode of avoiding shame and criticism. She was super insecure and I saw this in Donald Trump today. The chants simply did not compute in his mind... Or they did, and forced him to experience shame for just a few brutally painful seconds.

Yeehah

He deserves much worse than a few boos. Much worse.

Saying how quickly he would nominate her replacement, and how much its incited a lot more people to come out and vote him out of office.

He has absolutely no respect for the late Justice. He probably thought this was another campaign rally where he would be met with throngs of adoring MAGA worshipers.
