#RBG’s family bitterly opposed the ads. #RuthBaderGinsburg’s granddaughter, Clara Spera, said in a statement in Oct that the family condemned the use of her grandmother’s name & that doing so to “support Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, & specifically to suggest that she would approve of his position on abortion, is nothing short of appalling.”
During the #election, the #ElonMusk funded PAC had run ads arguing that Trump’s position on abortion was not dissimilar from that of Justice Ginsburg, a #feminist icon. “Great Minds Think Alike,” read the text on the super PAC’s website, featuring twin large photos of #Trump & Justice #RuthBaderGinsburg, who died in 2020.
The sum is a fraction of #ElonMusk’s wealth. But it is nonetheless a staggering amount from a single donor, who poured the cash into allied groups & is now playing a role in helping shape the next admin.
One of #Musk’s most brazen moves — which emerged only on Thurs — was spending $20M to prop up a super PAC that was named after #RuthBaderGinsburg, the late liberal #SCOTUS justice, but that sought to help #Trump….

The group…called #RBG PAC…came into existence only days ago, & began to spend $20M on Fri in support of #Trump, acc/to federal records. The group posted 2 #abortion-themed ads focused on the #TrumpLies that he would oppose a federal #AbortionBan.
The group’s paperwork was signed by #MayMailman, who worked in the WH & who is now director of the *Independent Women’s* Law Center. She did not respond to a request for comment Fri.

#Trump’s campaign has sought to toe the line on #abortion policy, aiming to appease his #religious #fundamentalist base while simultaneously duping pro-choice voters, while #KamalaHarris has hit Trump hard on abortion, a key issue for voters.
#Trump installed 3 *conservative* justices to #SCOTUS during his time in office, replacing #RuthBaderGinsburg as well as Antonin Scalia & Anthony Kennedy. That swing toward a conservative 6-3 majority led directly to the axing of nationwide #AbortionRights established in #RoeVWade. He has also said he will vote against a ballot measure in his home state of Florida that would enshrine #abortion protections in the state constitution.

#RuthBaderGinsburg herself publicly denounced #Trump in an interview w/the NYT prior to his first term.
“I can’t imagine what this place would be — I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president," she said at the time. "For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that."

“The #RBG PAC has no connection to the Ginsburg family & is an affront to my late grandmother’s legacy,” #AbortionRights attorney & #RuthBaderGinsburg’s granddaughter Clara Spera said in a statement to the NYT. “The use of her name & image to support Donald #Trump’s re-election campaign, & specifically to suggest that she would approve of his position on #abortion, is nothing short of appalling.”

“He’s been clear– he does not support a federal abortion ban,” an ad from the group #lies, despite #Trump's refusal to commit to vetoing a #NationalAbortionBan.
Tenuous claims on Trump’s #abortion positions aside, the group is also using Justice #RuthBaderGinsburg’s name & likeness without permission from her family.

"Appalling": #RuthBaderGinsburg family denounces pro-#Trump “RBG PAC” ads
#RBG’s family called the shadowy PAC's pro-Trump ad buys an "affront" to the late justice's legacy
A Trump group is spending millions in #DarkMoney to claim he would defend reproductive rights while brandishing late #SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s name.
The so-called RBG PAC spent nearly $20M to boost Trump’s campaign, per #FEC filings revealed on Fri.

#MitchMcConnell held open the seat that had been occupied by Justice #AntoninScalia, a #conservative, until #Trump became president. Trump put forward Neil M. #Gorsuch.
McConnell said #MerrickGarland’s nomination came too close to the 2016 presidential election, but he later helped push through the nomination of #AmyConeyBarrett [less than 1 month prior to the 2020 election]…, after the death of Justice #RuthBaderGinsburg, a *#liberal*.

Both #RuthBaderGinsburg and #JosephRobinetteBidenJr deserve enormous credit for their service but both failed to see when they should retire. The rest of the free world is horrified that #Trump and his Project 2025 might become America's way of life.
#RuthBaderGinsburg held on despite clear and vital reasons not to, for personal reasons. This allowed the newly created Republican majority to deny new judges. Look how that worked out. Now we have what was a good president denying that he should step aside for who knows what reason. The world would vote for a drover's dog over #TheOrangeBuffoon but Americans look like they won't.
