The Girl Scouts of America deleted a post on its social media channels that congratulated Justice Amy Coney Barrett for her appointment to the Supreme Court after it generated an angry response.

The group’s post, which was placed on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, featured an image of Barrett along with Justices Sandra Day O’Connor, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, to celebrate the appointment of a fifth woman to the court.
