Huckabee this past weekend tweeted it wasn't fair for people to be criticizing Ginsburg for not going to the address.

"It's not fair that ppl are criticizing Justice Ginsberg for skipping SOTU! Security concerns wouldn't allow her to bring CPAP machine into House Chamber," he tweeted.

Curbelo, who's considered one of the most vulnerable House Republicans up for reelection in November, shot back later Sunday night, calling it a "despicable" and "tasteless joke."

"Today’s #PIPAward goes to @GovMikeHuckabee — so politically intoxicated that he would make this despicable, tasteless joke," he tweeted.

"Sober up and stop embarrassing yourself and your family. #PIP = politically intoxicated person."

Last year, Ginsburg didn't attend Trump's address to a joint session of Congress after going to all eight of President Obama's addresses. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas also did not attend Trump's address.

It is not abnormal for Supreme Court justices to skip the annual presidential addresses.

Ginsburg has in the past been critical of Trump.

In 2016, she referred to then-candidate Trump as a "faker" and said she couldn't imagine what the country would be like with Trump as president. Trump at the time fired back at her on Twitter, saying her mind was "shot."
