President Donald Trump said Saturday that he will 'most likely' nominate a woman as his Supreme Court pick to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—but it's a hand gesture he made that drew his critics to accuse him of misogyny.
During the North Carolina campaign rally Saturday night, Trump praised Ginsburg's career and lauded her as an equal rights icon. The president also reiterated to the crowd that he intends to nominate a woman to fill her seat."It will be a woman, a very talented, very brilliant woman. I haven't chosen yet, but we have numerous women on the list."
Trump has mentioned at least two current appellate judges as potential nominees, including 7th Circuit of Appeals Judge Amy Coney Barrett, whohas ties to a right-wing religious group that may garner Trump even more support among evangelical conservatives. The president also referred to 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Barbara Lagoa, noting her Hispanic heritage and calling her an"extraordinary person" to reporters Saturday.
Last April, Trump drew criticism—and some laughs—after he made a double entendre about the coronavirus"curve" of cases and his past involvement with other"models." "The professionals developed the models. I was never involved in a model... at least this kind of a model," Trump said with a smirk as he stood next to Dr. Deborah Birx during a White House Coronavirus Task Force Briefing.President Donald Trump said Saturday that he will"most likely" nominate a woman as his Supreme Court pick to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but it's a hand gesture he made that drew his critics to accuse him of misogyny.
