ABC’s "Good Morning America" Twitter account made a major historic mistake when reporting on Ketanji Brown Jackson’s swearing-in ceremony as a Supreme Court justice.

On Thursday, Jackson was officially sworn in as a justice of the Supreme Court following Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement. GMA covered the moment she was welcomed onto the court by Justice John Roberts, but their Twitter account claimed that Jackson was "the first Black Supreme Court justice."

I guess that Thomas didn’t vote for Biden.

No. It wasn’t a mistake. They seriously think Justice Thomas isn’t black.

What statement were they making? Was it 'we forgot about Thurgood Marshall'?

Thurgood Marshall was the first black Supreme Court Justice. Clarence Thomas was the 2nd, Ketanji Jackson-Brown is the 3rd black Supreme CourtJustice, but first black woman.

I bet Thurgood Marshall is surprised.

KBJ reminds me of a certain South Park character.

That virtue signaling is more important than being factual.

Well they probably wanted to say first black woman, but remembered that KBJ isn’t a biologist so removed the female part for PC reasons.
