President Trump informed by reporters that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died.
The president had been delivering a campaign speech in Minnesota. Afterwards he was boarding Air Force One when he was asked to comment.
“She was an amazing woman, whether you agree with her or not. She was an amazing woman who led an amazing life,” the president said.

The news bulletin came down just moments before I was to deliver a speech at the North Carolina Faith & Freedom’s Salt & Light Conference.
I took a few moments to share the news with the audience and then led a prayer asking for the Lord to comfort the Ginsburg family. I also asked the Lord to protect our president and the Senate as they prepare to make a historic decision about the future of the court.
