'Sold us out!' MAGA explodes at Amy Coney Barrett after her deciding vote against Texas
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett has sent some Donald Trump supporters into a frothing rage this week.
The third High Court appointee of the former president has largely given Republicans what they wanted since being seated, from rulings against gun control and affirmative action to the deciding vote to eliminate Roe v. Wade abortion protections.
But this week, she joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the three liberal justices to temporarily allow the Border Patrol to clear away miles of razor wire installed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, in defiance of federal law, to obstruct migrants trying to cross the southern border. CBP officials had warned the wire blockade was preventing them from doing their jobs.
But this ruling enraged the MAGA faithful, who took the Texas governor's side on the issue in posts on the social media site "X." Many lobbed personal attacks and ill-wishes at the justice, and some even suggested she was a traitor or aiding an "invasion" against the country.
" can tear down Texas barbed wire barriers installed by the Texas National Guard. Justices Roberts and Barrett sided with the Democrats," wrote far-right activist Laura Loomer. "Not good! We are losing our country! STOP THE INVASION!"
"This is all you need to know about today’s Supreme Court decision," wrote disgraced former CBS reporter turned QAnon promoter Lara Logan, linking to another post alleging the Supreme Court's ruling violates the Constitutional requirement to protect states "against Invasion." "What do they have on Barrett and Roberts? The constitution is clear."
"Told you. Laws can’t compare to a female judge’s feelings. It’s illegal to enforce immigration law because borders make Amy Coney Barrett feel sad," wrote James Kirkpatrick, a user whose handle includes the white supremacist site VDARE.
"Once again Amy Coney Barrett was a huge mistake and we all kinda knew this when we saw she had two adopted foreign children," wrote an account calling itself "Arisophanes."
"Amy Coney Barrett sold us out. So much for states rights," wrote morning talk radio host Kenny Webster.
"With this Supreme Court and Barrett and Roberts being Traders [sic] I have little hope they side with Trump," wrote "MAGA Elvis." "Now they're ok with us having a southern border invasion. What the f--ks going on?"
"The next busload of illegals Greg Abbott sends north should go right to Amy Coney Barrett’s front door," wrote talk radio host Gerry Callahan. "The one after that too. What a disgrace."
