A heckler called Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett an “enslaver of women” during Barrett’s remarks on stage Monday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library — but Barrett offered a gem of a response that had the audience cheering and applauding.
“Fortunately as a mother of seven, I am used to distractions — and sometimes even outbursts,” Barrett said following the heckler’s childish interruption.
Barrett had been answering a question about the media attention she received in 2018 as a potential SCOTUS nominee following former Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement announcement.
