Donald Trump was met with loud booing and chants of “vote him out” as he arrived at the Supreme Court on Thursday morning to pay respects to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Videos from Capitol Hill showed the president wearing a mask and standing alongside the first lady, Melania Trump, at the court, with onlookers shouting and booing.
The late justice was lying in repose at the Supreme Court, with the casket due to be moved on Friday to the US Capitol, where she will lie in state, becoming the first woman to be given the honour.
Flanked by guards and her former law clerks, thousands of people have shown up to pay respects to Justice Ginsburg, who died last Friday of metastatic pancreatic cancer. She was 87.
Before she passed, Justice Ginsburg dictated a statement to her granddaughter calling on the president not to fill her vacancy in the nation’s highest court.
“My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,” the late justice reportedly told her granddaughter Clara Spera.
