There are many controversial, funny, and bizarre things said by politicians and celebrities over the past few decades, but none have come even close to the belligerent and outrageous remarks spewed from Donald Trump.

Amy Coney Barrett Said Sexuality Is A Choice By Saying 'Sexual Preferences' — But It's Not

CSPAN

She not only stood up for women, but she supported the LGBTQ community. RBG was the first Supreme Court member to officiate a same-sex marriage ceremony.
