Ilya Shapiro resigns from Georgetown Law over ‘racist tweet’ controversy
Summary by Ground News
Ilya Shapiro, a senior lecturer at Georgetown University Law School, resigned on Monday after the school conducted an investigation into a controversial tweet he posted about President Biden’s Supreme Court pick. Ilya Shapiro said in January Biden would cow to identity politics when nominating a replacement for Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyers. Shapiro wrote in now-deleted tweets that Biden's "best pick" was Sri Srinivasan, the chief justice of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, but he "doesn't fit into latest intersectionality hierarchy so we'll get lesser black woman"
