Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) tweeted a tasteless joke over the weekend about the 84-year-old justice’s decision not to attend President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address on Tuesday:
It’s not fair that ppl are criticizing Justice Ginsberg for skipping SOTU! Security concerns wouldn’t allow her to bring CPAP machine into House Chamber. pic.twitter.com/9GOR4NlHkr

He also spelled her surname wrong.
This time around, Ginsburg isn’t skipping Trump’s address in order to call it an early night. In fact, she’s giving her own talk in Rhode Island as part of a nationwide tour.
Needless to say, Huckabee’s barb did not go down well on Twitter. Even Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.) called it “despicable” and “tasteless”:
Mike Huckabee tweeted something terrible in an attempt to get uncle Trump to notice him.
It was a cheap shot from a sad man who’s been tossed aside like the garbage human he is.
Anyway, here’s a photo of him juxtaposed with a lumpy potato with his eyes and jowls on it. pic.twitter.com/GAn680ZIEY— Steve Marmel (@Marmel) January 28, 2018

Despicable tweet. She’s more capable and intelligent than the entire Trump administration together.
