MSNBC Anchor Attempts Quip About Barrett’s Ties to Catholic Groups: ‘Ask Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Husband’ (The Washington Free Beacon)

MSNBC host Chris Jansing attempted to make a point Tuesday about conflict between potential Supreme Court Justice Amy Barrett's religious beliefs and career interests by bringing up Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's late husband.

Jansing asked New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters about who President Donald Trump is likely to pick to fill the Supreme Court vacancy.

"Amy Coney Barrett is somebody who's known to be deeply religious. She's a Catholic," Peters said. "She belongs to a very small tight-knit group called People of Praise that has received some scrutiny lately for some of its less orthodox beliefs."
