Ruth Bader Ginsburg apologizes for bashing Donald Trump

After considerable backlash, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg apologized on Thursday for her recent comments on presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them. Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect,” Ginsburg said in a statement, obtained by the Washington Post and other outlets.

The left-leaning justice had called the real estate magnate egotistical and inconsistent. She also joked about possibly leaving the country should he be elected president. She made the comments in interviews with the New York Times, Associated Press and CNN.

Many people feel that a Supreme Court justice publicly condemning or supporting a candidate for the Oval Office could call into question his or her impartiality. And her critics were not exclusively from Republicans.

Many liberals who actually agree with her assessment of Trump argued that she should have refrained from commenting publicly because of her role within the United States’ democratic system.

The editorial boards for both the New York Times and the Washington Post published opinion pieces earlier this week criticizing Ginsburg for her remarks.
