Tucker Carlson reflected on the fragility of life Monday following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, reminding viewers that "life is bigger than politics, even this year."
The "Tucker Carlson Tonight" host opened his show by commenting on reports that Ginsburg's final wish was to not be replaced until a new president was sworn into office, a sentiment he described as "pathetic" if true.
"Keep in mind, we don't know actually what Ruth Bader Ginsburg's final words were," Carlson said. "Did she really leave this world fretting about a presidential election?

I find it impossible to believe a highly experienced jurist with some 60 years in the law, would use the word installed when she absolutely knew the actual word was inaugurated.

It's about as believable as Kirk Douglas' dying words to his son Michael about supporting Mike Bloomberg. Michael Douglas said his father said just before he died: "Mike can get it done". I call BS.
In any case, Bloomberg's candidacy barely lasted longer than Kirk's funeral.

It’s as believable as Ruth saying after graduating #1 in her Columbia Law School class NO NYC Law firms would hire her.
Any investigative journalist worth their salt would easily find many many female attorneys hired in NYC during this time period.

I just googled the end of life and dying of pancreatic cancer patients. There is no way she was lucid enough to make any comment about anything. Palliative care administers drugs that make it non painful in a patients dying moments. This could be days or weeks before the end. I call bull on the deathbed plea (statement).

I’m sure was mumbling all kinds of strange things just like old Joe does.

I don’t believe she said it... RBG WAS NOT the kind of person so play “elites are above the law” CARD. That’s to opposite of everything she stood for her whole life.
If ‘who replaced her - and when’ had been her concern - she had access to reporters and powerful people who would have been more than happy to get that information out to the public.
Also, she had months knowing her days were numbered. This wasn’t a car accident surprise to a young woman...she knew she was dying. She knew how to write (beautifully) and she could have gotten this message out - beyond the hearsay of one granddaughter...
And, as Tucker says, it doesn’t meet the ‘we’re human’ test...
I’m sorry her granddaughter tarnished her reputation...

First, you throw a tennis ball over her hospital bed. If it disappears into the wall and comes out in a different room with yucky stuff on it, then you can try sending someone in tied to a rope.please sent TOtenburg and the rest of those miserable former journalists at NOR. They make a mockery of NPR. God they stink.
