Photo: Alex Brandon-Pool/Getty Images Mourners who paid their respects to Ruth Bader Ginsburg by visiting her casket Thursday morning at the Supreme Court did not pay respect to President Trump upon his arrival. As the president and First Lady stood amid the Corinthian columns behind the late justice’s flag-strewn casket, the crowd at the viewing booed him and began chanting “vote him out.”
“One group started and then we all kind of joined in together because, you know, I feel like it’s disrespectful for him to be here, quite frankly,” Tiarra Keeton, who drove 12 hours from upstate New York to make the viewing, told BuzzFeed News. President Trump, in a rare public appearance wearing a mask, had a different perspective. “I think that was just a political chant,” he told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House on Thursday afternoon. “We could hardly hear it from where we were. Somebody said there was some chanting. But they were right next to the media. But we could hardly hear too much. We heard a sound but it wasn’t very strong.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany condemned the dissent more forcefully. “The chants were appalling but certainly to be expected when you’re in the heart of the swamp,” she told reporters. “I travel with the president all across the country — Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Nevada — and everywhere we go, the streets are lined with support like I don’t think any other president has had previously.
Met with the slightest scrutiny, McEnany’s defense falls apart. Trump, who is expected to lose the popular vote for a second time in November, is not supported by a majority of Americans. Very rarely does he risk a public interaction that has not been set up by his White House or campaign staffers, because they often go so poorly. At the 2018 conference in Davos — sure, not exactly an egalitarian public forum — Trump was booed by a jury of his fellow economic elites.
Good.

supermormongirl we love to see it
Good. This was just a photo op.
No respect for your president and in that context, good example the crowd sets for their children? Like him or not that's not the place, time or way
Hoisted by his own petard...
Another gem for the history books
That mask makes “mom jeans” look like hip huggers. Not to mention his labia is hanging out of the bottom.
BregmanPs My guess is that he regrets showing up with a loud protest at this solemn occasion. He is probably thinking when do I get the fuck out of here ... Not soon enough!
The headline and story don't match. There is a difference between booing and 'Vote her out'. It is a distinction made when reporting on Trump rallies. I've never seen 'Lock Her Up' described as booing.
Let me get this straight. The con artist is not good at literally doing anything for anyone? Like regardless of what is handed to him? He's always wrong, but like forever?
And wearing a face-speedo 😱 He should try getting a mask that fits
There is a contrast between Joe Biden and Trump that the American people already get and that's why they're shifting in huge numbers for Biden who they trust, like, and are convinced has the leadership qualities the nation so desperately needs right now. Trump is chaos and crisis
The country is against 4 more yrs of Trump's chaos, anger, incompetence, division, corruption, failed economy, cowardness, lack of leadership, policy of revenge punishment, botched response to a pandemic, failing to raise to the occasion during racial unrest, using it as a wedge.
Yeah, pretty dumb. Thank you for exposing these idiot 'protestors' who would love to violently attack anything in their wake without reason👌
