A nonprofit has canceled the ceremony for an award named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg, after its choice of recipients outraged the late liberal justice's family.
The Dwight D. Opperman Foundation has presented the Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Leadership Award to accomplished women including Barbra Streisand and Queen Elizabeth II since its inception in 2019.

But this year, the Opperman Foundation selected four men, including conservative media titan Rupert Murdoch and billionaire Elon Musk, and Martha Stewart.

Ginsburg's family blasted the selection last week, saying the decision is an "affront" to the memory of the late justice and her values.

"This year, the Opperman Foundation has strayed far from the original mission of the award and from what Justice Ginsburg stood for," Jane Ginsburg, daughter of the Supreme Court justice, said in a statement.

By Monday, foundation Chair Julie Opperman issued a release saying it was canceling the April ceremony.

"This year we selected leaders in different fields. We honored men for the first time," Opperman said in a statement. "We thought RBG's teachings regarding EQUALITY should be practiced. We did not consider politics."


Martha Stewart
Elon Musk
Rupert Murdoch
Michael Milken
Sylvester Stallone

uh, what the fuck? Seems like they were intentionally trying to insult the memory of RBG with these picks

The fuck is wrong with Julie Opperman and this pissy response...

They just wanted to stop doing the award and figured this would be the easiest way.

That's nuts, and also very deliberate.

Milken and Stewart have been convicted of actual crimes. Murdoch and Musk wield their billionaire power for evil.

Stallone is an actor.

Did they explain the reasoning behind their picks? Cause clearly they weren't thinking with those nominations.

Oh... so Julie Opperman is MAGA. Makes sense...

She's abusing the Foundation for a political agenda.

Seems appropriate given her refusal to step down led to idiots like those nominated to feel and be more empowered. That's my biggest memory of her.

Makes sense. RBG is the MAGA cult's favorite liberal justice ever, owing to the fact that she passed away at the most opportune time imaginable for them.
