[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC on Wednesday preemptively offered a blast of liberal outrage over no woman being on the American currency. A couple hours after the Good Morning America story aired, it was announced that Harriet Tubman would replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. Reporter David Wright alerted, “There are glass ceilings and there are paper ceilings, it seems. Here in the U.S., a woman has never been featured on the front of paper money.” Wright complained, “Hamilton the musical may have saved the Alexander Hamilton the indignity with a duel with any number of female patriots.” Offering up an option that didn’t happen, the journalist derided, “The one possible solution put women on the back of the bill. Yeah, that will go over well.”
