Standing a block away during the president's visit, they also shouted, \"Honor her wish,\" according to a reporter traveling with Trump. Bystanders also chanted, \"Respect her dying wish,\" as Trump's motorcade passed.

\"My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed,\" Ginsburg reportedly had said, her granddaughter told NPR and the BBC.

On Monday, without evidence, Trump baselessly asserted it had been made up by Democrats.

Later Thursday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany dismissed the protesters. \"The chants were appalling but certainly to be expected when you're in the heart of the swamp,” she told reporters.

While Trump praised Ginsburg in the wake of her death, the next day his campaign began fundraising off the Supreme Court vacancy she left, and the president gleefully led chants of \"fill that seat\" at a campaign rally.

Trump and Senate Republicans have moved quickly to confirm a justice tor replace Ginsburg, with Trump pushing for a vote before the Nov. 3 election.
