O’Reilly had tweeted earlier in the day that Ginsburg’s health was failing, and that another appointment to the Supreme Court under a Trump presidency was imminent. Ginsburg underwent a procedure Friday to remove two cancerous growths from her lungs.

“Justice Ginsburg is very ill. Another Justice appointment inevitable and soon. Bad news for the left,” he wrote.
