Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is great at making headlines. When we last heard from her, she publicly announced for that she’d been secretly undergoing chemotherapy for her fifth battle with cancer. At the time, she noted that it had been “yielding positive results.”
Her course of treatment must be going really well, because thanks to a viral Twitter post, we now know that Ginsburg has made her first public appearance since her cancer announcement. It looks like the justice officiated an outdoor wedding this past weekend — during a pandemic, when she’s at an increased risk of contracting COVID-19 due to her age and her illness.
Check out the tweet that’s been making the rounds, below:
The bride, Barb Solish, is the director of marketing and communications for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, and Ginsburg is a family friend. With nary a mask in this beautiful picture, where Ginsburg is seen standing barely taller than the lectern, the bride wrote in a follow-up tweet, “And don’t worry, we tested negative!”
They don’t call her the Notorious RBG for nothing. We hope she remains safe and sound and that her health continues to improve.
