Katie Couric Edited Out Ruth Bader Ginsburg Quotes Slamming Anthem Protests, Called Justice’s Words ‘Unworthy’
October 13, 2021 By Jordan Davidson
Former “Today” host Katie Couric deceptively edited her 2016 interview with former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to omit comments made by the “elderly” justice that cast a negative light on leftist sports players who kneel during the national anthem, according to a report from the Daily Mail.
In the original interview published in October 2016, Couric claimed that Ginsburg called the refusal to stand during the national anthem by athletes such as Colin Kaepernick “dumb and disrespectful.”
“Would I arrest them for doing it? No,” Ginsburg said. “I think it’s dumb and disrespectful. I would have the same answer if you asked me about flag burning. I think it’s a terrible thing to do, but I wouldn’t lock a person up for doing it. I would point out how ridiculous it seems to me to do such an act.”
Couric pushed Ginsburg on the issue further and asked for confirmation that athletes had the right to protest.
