United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says her recent comments about Donald Trump were “ill-advised.” The Justice added that she, “regret(s) making them.” In interviews with media organizations in the past week, Ginsburg criticized the presumptive Republican nominee for president. She said she did not want to think about the possibility of Trump winning the election. She also called Trump a “faker.” Trump asked the justice to resign from her position. On social media, he criticized her comment as, in his words, “dumb.” He tweeted, “Her mind is shot resign.” Republicans and some newspaper editorial writers were critical of the Justice’s comments. Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said her comment “shows bias.” Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said it was “totally inappropriate” for Ginsburg to criticize Trump. Both The New York Times and The Washington Post wrote editorials saying she should stay out of presidential politics.
