After President Donald Trump officially announced that he was nominating Amy Coney Barrett to replace Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, the Left dusted off their ideological boxing gloves which had been placed in storage since their attempted destruction of Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. Along with attacks on her faith, an even more insidious tactic involves a wave of attacks against her and her husband’s adopted children.

Barrett, and her husband Jesse, have seven children: Emma, Vivian, Tess, John Peter, Liam, Juliet, and Benjamin. Vivian and John Peter were adopted from Haiti, and it was this act of love which drew particular hatred from the Left. Democratic activist Dana Houle wrote, “Some adoptions from Haiti were legit. Many were sketchy as hell,” and “Would it matter if her kids were scooped up by ultra-religious Americans, or Americans weren’t scrupulous intermediaries & the kids were taken when there was family in Haiti?”
