Girl Scouts spark backlash from left after congratulating Justice Amy Coney Barrett
So, they posted it, then they deleted it.
They got a lot of flak from liberals for posting the congratulatory tweet, so they deleted it. Then, they got flak from conservatives for deleting it. They just can't win.
The political atmosphere is just getting too ugly. People are getting so trigger happy that they're attacking the Girl Scouts.
The Girl Scouts deleted a tweet late Wednesday congratulating Justice Amy Coney Barrett for being the fifth woman named to the Supreme Court after social media backlash primarily from the left, with the decision to delete the post also sparking outrage.
"Congratulations Amy Coney Barrett on becoming the 5th woman appointed to the Supreme Court since its inception in 1789," the 108-year-old organization wrote in a tweet that included pictures of the four other women to sit on the high court: Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
The post was also shared on the organization's Facebook page with a note saying, "Girl Scouts of the USA is a nonpolitical, nonpartisan organization."

Backlash from progressives, including from Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), quickly ensued, prompting the deletion.
