MAGA Turns on Amy Coney Barrett: Supreme Court Justice Faces Backlash for Defying Trump
Despite her staunch conservative rulings on cases involving abortion and affirmative action, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee, faces criticism from some MAGA supporters. These individuals perceive her as insufficiently loyal to Trump, citing recent 5-4 Supreme Court decisions where she sided against his preferred outcomes. This backlash, fueled by online influencers, accuses Barrett of lacking sufficient alignment with Trump’s agenda and even suggests she is a “diversity, equity, and inclusion” hire, referencing her gender and family. Barrett has not publicly responded to these attacks.
