Donald Trump, offering no evidence, said that he thinks that Democrats wrote Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish that the next president choose her successor.
Appearing again on Fox & Friends on Monday, co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked Trump about the statement, characterizing it as a dying wish that she “allegedly” made to her granddaughter.
“How do you think this all plays out?” she asked.
Trump said, “I don’t know that she said that, or was that written out by Adam Schiff and Schumer and Pelosi. I may be more inclined to the second. That came out of the wind. It sounds so beautiful. That sounds like a Schumer deal or maybe Pelosi or Shifty Schiff.”
Shortly after her death on Friday, NPR reported that Ginsburg dictated a message to her granddaughter Clara Spera: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.

Backstage at the virtual Emmys ceremony, Regina King, fresh off her win for “Watchmen,” was asked about the shirt she was wearing under her bright pink suit that featured the image of Breonna Taylor, the medical worker killed in her home by law enforcement officers. King was one of several Emmy winners Sunday evening who used the platform to advocate for social justice and political action.
“The cops still haven’t been held accountable,” said King to the press after she accepted her award during the telecast. “She represents decades, hundreds of years of violence against Black bodies, Breonna Taylor does. I felt like wearing Breonna’s likeness, representing her and her family, and the stories that we were exploring, that were presenting, holding a mirror up to in ‘Watchmen,’ it felt appropriate to represent with Breonna Taylor.”
Her comments follow months of nationwide protests against police brutality and racism,...

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a petite woman from Brooklyn who grew up to be a towering figure in American legal history and cultural trailblazer in American life. She was the most intimidating interview I have ever done.
I had the privilege of sitting with Justice Ginsburg and her daughter, Columbia University Law professor Jane C. Ginsburg, in the former’s beautiful apartment in the Watergate Complex in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 4, 2014. The two graciously participated in the 2016 essay collection, “What I Told My Daughter: Lessons From Leaders on Raising the Next Generation of Empowered Women,” that I edited alongside producer and former CBS executive Nina Tassler.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg had an intense gaze behind her boxy lenses. She had angular features that made her face stand out even as her body seemed to disappear in a giant cream-colored sofa. She snuggled into a beige wrap and considered each question...
