America in Mourning Following Death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

September 19, 2020, 11.00 AM

The memorial service remained mostly peaceful and somber, but turned tense for several minutes after a man with a megaphone approached people in the crowd and began to chant that “Roe v. Wade is dead,” a refence to the landmark Supreme Court ruling establishing abortion rights nationwide.

A large group confronted the man, leading to a brief shouting match.

Many in the crowd began yelling “RBG” to try to drown out the man’s voice as he continued to say Republicans would push to quickly appoint a conservative justice to the court.

Supreme Court police officers stood alongside the crowd and the man eventually left the area.
