Fox News reporter Shannon Bream said her sources at the Supreme Court told her today that NPR’s big story this morning about Sotomayor, Roberts and Gorsuch regarding mask wearing is not true at all.
That NPR report that Justice Neil Gorsuch refused to wear a mask at the request of Justice Sonia Sotomayor? It may be fake news.

Bream said that Sotomayor never made the request that the other justices wear masks and neither did John Roberts:
“I am told that is not accurate. A source at the Supreme Court says there’s been no blanket admonition or request from Chief Justice Roberts that the other justices begin wearing masks to arguments. This source further stated that Justice Sotomayor did not make any such request to Justice Gorsuch. I’m told, given that fact, there was also no refusal by Justice Gorsuch. The justices are all vaccinated and boosted and they do test before taking the bench for arguments.”
There you go, more fake news from the fake news media. Sounds like NPR’s Nina Totenberg needs new sources because she’s got egg all over her face.
