Dumdumleft media figures responded to the death of SCOTUS Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg with vitriol and mockery. Seth Rich conspiracy theorist, and Tulsi Gabbard supporter Niko House wrote on Twitter, “Instead of actually fighting for women to get equal pay, the Dems will now erect a statue of RBG.”

Exiled Bernie Sanders’ Organizer Fiorella Isabel criticized Ginsburg with armchair quarterbacking, failing to realize that Ginsburg would have had to step down when the Democrats controlled the senate.

Briahna Joy Gray, the former national press secretary for Sen. Bernie Sanders, tweeted mockingly at Intercept Journalist Medhi Hasan: “I still remember the people who looked me dead in the eye during the Obama admin, and spouted some [first] wave feminist nonsense for why RBG’s personal career ambitions were more important than our lives. But it’s probably in poor taste to say something like that tonight.”

Twitter personality and PostPostRevolution Podcast host Kentucky Fried Comrade said Ginsburg “died in her sleep, shitting her pants.”

Chapo Trap House’s Matt Christman seemed excited about Ginsburg’s passing, tweeting out a GIF of Mitch McConnel looking up from his desk, grinning victoriously: The word “OWNED” flashed briefly over the screen.

Jewish Currents’ writer David Klion cruelly laughed at the news of Ginsburg’s passing.

Correction: The article accidentally interpreted Nomiki Konst’s comments as dismissive of RBG’s death.
