Katie Couric confessed she’s an enemy of the people.

In her soon-to-be-released memoir, the former “Today Show” host disclosed she edited an interview with Ruth Bader Ginsburg to “protect” the then-83-year-old Supreme Court Justice from public backlash. During a 2016 interview, Ginsburg made the mistake of sharing her true feelings about national anthem-kneeler Colin Kaepernick.

Ginsburg told Couric that Kaepernick and his allies were showing “contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life … which they probably could not have lived in the places they came from.”

Couric cut those remarks out of the story she published at Yahoo News. She said she did so to protect Ginsburg because Ginsburg was elderly and likely didn’t understand Couric’s question. Ginsburg was a working member of the Supreme Court at the time. Her job was to understand, interpret, and rule on complex legal matters. But she was too old to make sense of Kaepernick’s lunacy? I don’t think so.
