Katie Couric revealed that her 2016 interview with Ruth Bader Ginsburg omitted some of the former Supreme Court Justice’s unfavorable views of people who kneel for the national anthem.

While the final cut included Ginsburg criticizing protesters such as Colin Kaepernick as “dumb and disrespectful,” it left out her comments calling the act of protest “contempt for a government that has made it possible for their parents and grandparents to live a decent life.”

Ginsburg allegedly continued, “They probably could not have lived in the places they came from. ... As they became older, they realize that this was youthful folly. And that's why education is important.”

The day after Couric interviewed Ginsburg, the Supreme Court's head of public affairs reportedly reached out to ask that some of the statements be excluded from the final product.
