Trump booed and met with chants of ‘vote him out’ while paying respects to Ruth Bader Ginsburg

President 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 face mask and standing alongside first lady Melania Trump at the Supreme Court, with countless onlookers shouting and booing towards the couple.

The late justice was lying in repose at the Supreme Court before she was set to lie in state at the US Capitol 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 on 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 on 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.
