BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – The Girl Scouts of America deleted a social media post on its official Twitter and Facebook pages congratulating Amy Coney Barrett on her appointment to the Supreme Court.
The original post included the caption: “Congratulations Amy Coney Barrett on becoming the 5th woman appointed to the Supreme Court since its inception in 1789” ending with an emoji of hands raised up.
The move quickly faced swift backlash from critics and lawmakers, with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., tweeting, “What kind of patch does one earn for uplifting a woman who is the antithesis of justice? These little girls should be taught about, reproductive rights, the importance of feminist socialism, and anything else that causes the average guy to want to backhand them.”
