Ilya Shapiro, a recently hired administrator at Georgetown University Law Center and a prominent libertarian, has been suspended by the university after he tweeted that President Biden was not going to nominate "the objectively best pick" but a "lesser Black woman" to be the next Supreme Court justice, according to The New York Times.
"Objectively best pick for Biden is Sri Srinivasan, who is solid prog & v smart," Mr. Shapiro tweeted. "Even has identity politics benefit of being first Asian (Indian) American. But alas doesn't fit into latest intersectionality hierarchy so we'll get lesser black woman. Thank heaven for small favors?"
Sri Srinivasan is the Indian-born chief judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
Shapiro issued an apology Friday for his "poor choice of words" on Twitter.
