The Girl Scouts of America has deleted a Wednesday social media post that congratulated Justice Amy Coney Barrett for becoming one of only five women in U.S. history to be appointed to the Supreme Court.
“Earlier today, we shared a post highlighting the five women who have been appointed to the Supreme Court. It was quickly viewed as a political and partisan statement which was not our intent and we have removed the post,” explained the organization.
“Girl Scouts of the USA is a non-political, nonpartisan organization. We are neither red nor blue, but Girl Scout GREEN. We are here to lift up girls and women,” said Girl Scouts.
Here is the post before it was deleted:

Despite its innocuous nature, the Girl Scouts post promptly drew the ire of the Left, including from Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), who wrote: “What kind of patch does one earn for uplifting a woman who is the antithesis of justice.”
“Girl Scouts, this tweet is really disappointing and won’t age well when access to safe abortion and the healthcare needs of millions of women and girls is gutted in this country because of Barrett’s addition to the court,” tweeted Actress Amber Tamblyn, who later thanked the group for deleting its post.

It might look something like an Ayanna Pressley face with a strip of duct tape over her mouth.
Shameful of them to take it down. The post was perfect as written, and recognized women of all political stripes for their achievement, but the left is not satisfied with that.
