While speaking at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library about the challenges of life in the public spotlight, Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett was interrupted by a left-wing heckler who called her an "enslaver of women," but the unflappable mother of seven handled the childish outburst without batting an eyelash.
"Amy Coney Barrett, you are an enslaver of women," the protester screamed.
"As a mother of seven, I am used to distractions — and sometimes even outbursts," Barrett calmly replied, receiving cheers and applause from the audience.

A video clip of the exchange on Twitter has earned the Supreme Court Justice a few new titles to add to her resume, as well as a little love from Meghan McCain:

I don't care if I have little in common with her politically, I still like and respect her mannerisms and composure.— JustAnotherHandle (@JustAnotherHandle) 1649790580
