Social media ridicules left-wing reporter trying to smear Justice Clarence Thomas with resurfaced video



A left-wing freelance reporter tried to smear Justice Clarence Thomas by unearthing an old video of him complimenting his wife, and many on social media responded with mockery and ridicule.

Aaron Rupar posted a video of Thomas telling his wife in an interview how much her support meant to him, and he posted it hoping critics of the couple would find some hidden nefarious meaning in his statement.

"And the best part of being a justice?" asked his wife Virginia Thomas in the interview.

"First of all, it’d be impossible without you. It’s sorta like, how do you run with one leg? You can’t," said Justice Thomas.

"It makes it whole when I have my wife," he added.

Virginia Thomas has admitted to attending the Jan. 6 rally that later turned to violence at the U.S. Capitol, but she has said that she left early in the morning because it was so cold. Later, texts from her to Mark Meadows, who was the White House chief of staff at the time, detailed her insistence that former President Donald Trump stay the course and fight to overturn the official results of the presidential election.

Critics of Justice Thomas have pounced on the revelations to accuse the conservative jurist without evidence of bias in his court rulings. The video from Rupar was apparently an attempt to tie his wife's political activism to the Thomas' career on the highest court of the land.

Many on Twitter thought the attempt to make something wicked out of the compliment Justice Thomas made to his wife was absurd, and they made their feelings known about it.

"Aaron Rupar EXPOSES Clarence Thomas having a good relationship with his wife," read one popular tweet.

"Imagine clipping this because you think it makes Clarence Thomas bad," replied Phillip Klein of National Review.

"Wow he loves his wife. we really need to think seriously about impeachment," tweeted Becket Adams sarcastically.

"The difference between a man and a boy is the man celebrates his wife and the boy complains when he sees another male do this," replied Dana Loesch.

"Aaron, I understand that you might be in a bad marriage but I just want to let you know that this clip from Clarence Thomas is actually an example of what a man who loves his wife sounds like. It's not the gotcha you seem to want it to be," responded Matt Walsh.

Some on the left have demanded that Thomas recuse himself or even resign over the vague accusations of bias, but there are no indications that he will do either.

Leaked texts from Justice Clarence Thomas' wife to Mark Meadows show her pushing for overturn of the election



Texts leaked from exchanges between the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas and Mark Meadows show that she was pushing for the overturn of the official results of the 2020 election.

The texts were turned over by Mark Meadows to the Jan. 6 Committee and leaked to CBS News and the Washington Post.

The texts show Virginia Thomas, also known as Ginni, sending messages to Meadows, who was the White House chief of staff at the time, encouraging Trump to fight the election results.

Not one of the texts directly referred to her husband, neither do they refer to the Supreme Court. None of the texts were sent on the day of the Jan. 6 rioting. 28 of the texts were sent in Nov. 2020, and one text was sent after the events of Jan. 6.

The leaked texts led to an online furor on the left demanding that Thomas recuse himself or even resign from the Supreme Court. Some referenced the Supreme Court case where Justice Thomas was the lone dissenting vote to allow Trump to shield his White House records from the Jan. 6 investigation.

Ginni Thomas, who is a longtime prominent conservative activist, did not respond to the release of her texts, but she issued a clarification of her acts on the day of the Jan. 6 rioting at the U.S. Capitol.

"Like so many married couples, we share many of the same ideals, principles, and aspirations for America," she said in the interview with the Washington Free Beacon. "But we have our own separate careers, and our own ideas and opinions too. Clarence doesn't discuss his work with me, and I don't involve him in my work."

She also said that while she attended the Jan. 6 protest, she left early because it was cold and did not participate in any of the planning for the event, as was claimed by some reports.

Justice Thomas was hospitalized on Friday with "flu-like symptoms," but he is expected to be released in a few days.
