Clarence Thomas's wife criticized her town's 'Black Lives Matter' banner: report

[JonLP24]

The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was among those who sent notes criticizing a Virginia town's "Black Lives Matter" banner, telling city officials in an email that protesters responding to the death of Black Americans in police custody "hate America."

An email signed by Thomas, who is white, and shared with The Washington Post on Thursday accuses Black Lives Matter protesters of desiring a "cultural revolution" and "mob rule." Her comments come as cities across the nation have been the sites of protests against police brutality and racism following the death of George Floyd, a Black man killed in Minneapolis police custody.

“BLM is a bit of a dangerous Trojan Horse and they are catching well-meaning people into dangerous posturing that can invite mob rule and property looting,” Thomas reportedly wrote in late June. “Let’s not be tricked into joining cause with radical extremists seeking to foment a cultural revolution because they hate America.”

Thomas did not respond to the Post's request for comment, but reportedly shared similar sentiments on a private Facebook page.

1. She's A Nut!

There is something seriously wrong with that woman's mind.

[Tanuki]

2. Definitely. Remember when she drunk-dialed Anita Hill's university campus office

on a Saturday night and left a weird message? Hill assumed it was a student prank and turned it over to the Dean.

[enough]

9. Thanks I'd forgotten that. NT

[Cha]

15. I didn't know that.. I just remember that she's a stupid

teabagger and hates President Obama.

[Tanuki]

17. Here's what happened:

https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130688438

"In a truth-is-stranger-than-fiction twist, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas earlier this month left a voice-mail message for Anita Hill, asking Hill to apologize for her 1991 testimony accusing then Supreme Court nominee Thomas of sexual harassment.

Virginia Thomas has confirmed through a spokesman that on Oct. 9, she left a voice-mail message at Hill's Brandeis University office. News organizations, including The New York Times and ABC, have reported that they heard the recording, which said: "Good morning, Anita Hill. Its Ginni Thomas. I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband. So give it some thought and certainly pray on this, and hope that one day you will help us understand why you did what you did. OK, have a good day."
......

Hill said through a Brandeis spokesman that she was unsure when she received the message, whether it was left by a crank, and she eventually turned it over to the campus police, who referred the matter to the FBI. The bureau had no comment Tuesday night.

Virginia Thomas said in a statement that she had not meant to offend Hill and intended the call as an "olive branch." But Hill was quoted as saying, "She can't ask for an apology without suggesting that I did something wrong, and that is offensive.".. (more)

18. JHC.. ginni is a Brainwashed DIPSTICKSHIT

Ha! Anita Hill called the FBI on her stupid ass phone message.. who the fuck does that?!!

Mahalo, Tanuki!

3. Clifton is a tiny little town in Fairfax. 282 residents in the 2010 Census.

Very restrictive zoning. Comfortable income levels, with no one reported below the poverty line.

BLM banner hung in town. Nast Thomas woman seems to have gone off on BLM reality being displayed in 'her' insulated, isolated, enclave.

We meet friends for dinner in town Clifton occasionally - pleasant lil ol town.

[CatWoman]

4. so is it safe to assume Anita Hill will receive another 3am drunk call in the near future?

[BlueIdaho]

5. Not a surprise... they are a pair of horrible horrible people. nt.

[Hortensis]

19. This. They're the kinds who would marry each other.

Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao
Stephen Miller and whatever his new wife's name is. Katie Miller.

Katie Miller, a spokeswoman for Vice President Mike Pence, was unmoved by the plight of children at detention facilities at the US-Mexico border... The Department of Homeland Security "sent me to the border to see the separations for myself — to try to make me more compassionate — but it didn't work," she said, according to a book excerpt that MSNBC's Rachel Maddow read on her show on Monday.

At least none of them live next door.

From above-"BLM is a bit of a dangerous Trojan Horse and they are catching well-meaning people into dangerous posturing that can invite mob rule and property looting,” Thomas reportedly wrote in late June. “Let’s not be tricked into joining cause with radical extremists seeking to foment a cultural revolution because they hate America.”

I doubt many people have read Marx in this country.

12. Ginni Thomas, Wife of Clarence Thomas, Hired Assistant Known for Saying 'I Hate Blacks'

https://atlantablackstar.com/2018/09/11/ginni-thomas-wife-of-clarence-thomas-hired-assistant-known-for-saying-i-hate-blacks/

A new bombshell report accuses Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, of hiring an assistant booted from conservative student group Turning Point USA for making racist remarks.

According to Mediaite, Thomas brought on former staffer Crystal Clanton as her assistant last year after Clanton was forced out of the right-wing group when her bigoted comments were made public. Clanton served as second-in-command at TPUSA, but left after The New Yorker published screen grabs of text messages she sent to a colleague that read, “I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like fuck them all … I hate Blacks. End of story.”

It wasn’t long before Clanton landed a new gig alongside Thomas — who is married to the Supreme Court’s sole African-American justice. The former TPUSA staffer assisted Thomas with everything from producing her “Leadership Series” videos for right-wing news site The Daily Caller to coordinating her travels to numerous events, including TPUSA’s Young Women Leadership conference in Dallas, Texas. Clanton even helped in an interview with Donald Trump Jr. at Trump Hotel, which took place only a month after her racist texts were revealed, Mediaite reported.

Clanton has “always idolized Ginni,” according to one source. “She flaunts her relationship with the Thomases to conservative friends as a way to prove that the New Yorker‘s publication of her racist text messages did not ruin her career,” the Mediate report read, citing another source. ”
