Amy Coney Barrett, the Donald Trump-appointed conservative supreme court justice, has been branded a "DEI judge" by furious rightwing figures, after she voted to reject Trump's attempt to freeze nearly $2bn in foreign aid.

"She is evil, chosen solely because she checked identity politics boxes. Another DEI hire. It always ends badly," Mike Cernovich, a prominent rightwing influencer and conspiracy theorist, wrote on X, referencing diversity, equity and inclusion policies, which Republicans have demonized.

Fox News host Mark Levin claimed in an online post that Barrett had "deceived people into thinking she was a reliable constitutionalist". He added: "The power has gone to her head. It happens with frightening regularity the last half-century."

Laura Loomer, the rightwing activist who repeatedly traveled with Trump during his 2024 campaign, went even further. She posted a picture of Coney Barrett's family, which includes two adopted Black children, and wrote:

"Amy Coney Barrett was a DEI appointee." Jack Posobiec, a popular Maga figure with more than 3m followers on X, posted that Coney Barrett was a "DEI judge"."

Dumb fccks didn't go after Roberts. Oh that's right - he's white and male.

These people are sick. Really sick. We need more of this. The world needs to see these people for who they are.

White women are just another demographic that need to be put back in their place in order to make America great again.

MAGA!!!

Giving women the right to have their own bank account was a mistake.

MAGA!!!

So she's migrated from St. Amy to Whore of Babylon?
MAGAts are so fickle,
My question: If Old Senescent'thinks for the MAGAts, who thinks for Old Senescent?

I gotta admit, I'm pleasantly surprised by Barrett.

Fox News host Mark Levin claimed in an online post that Barrett had "deceived people into thinking she was a reliable constitutionalist".

This idiotic talking nasal passage is still around?

Those damn Catholics--following Christ's teachings again! Look, I KNOW who Jesus would shoot first, and also KNOW that starving children helps make them stronger, and making enemies around the world gives America more people to fight!

Amy Coney Barrett is a horrible justice and whichever President nominated her along with the Senators that approved her did a horrible job of vetting her. Seems like whoever that President and those Senators were must have just punted the vetting process to some far-right activist group to handle.

That's BS. I'm conservative and fully understand that conservative jurist opinions can occasionally differ, unlike leftists who hate anyone who has an independent thought process that differs an iota from the left.

She was put on the Court to help overturn Roe. She did that.

Judges aren't supposed to deliver political outcomes. She's an intelligent woman and is a serious jurist. Maybe she got this one wrong. Maybe she didn't. But I'm pretty sure she isn't playing politics.

White male > white female = R logic.

Hopefully this will drive her into the arms of the 3 with common sense, decency and no corruption. The men on that kangaroo court suck.
