Clarence Thomas inspires pizza chain-promo deal that made 'every pie on sale, just like' him

An East Coast pizza chain has used a promotional sale to take jabs at Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

&pizza, a pizza chain in Washington, DC, that often uses memes and internet jokes in its marketing, made Thomas the subject of its latest promotion after a ProPublica report disclosed that he accepted luxury trips paid by a GOP megadonor.

According to Fox Business, &pizza sent an email to customers on Monday that referenced Thomas taking monetary gifts.

"Every pie on sale, Just like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas," the email read, according to Fox.

I was aware that women are not usually believed. I saw it in my own life.

My brother believed her, too. He had been through a lot of counseling due to some abuse in his own life. He spoke often about how abuse begins as verbal abuse. He thought the whole country was abusing Ms. Hill.

Clarence "coke can" Thomas should NEVER have been placed on the SCOTUS.

Convince Thomas to resign or be included as part of SC corruption. I don’t think the Thomas corruption scandal is going away. And even replacing Thomas with a rational judge would still leave the right-wing religious cabal with a majority.

He will be embarrassed and lose the case because what &pizza contends in their advertisement is the truth. Clarence will never be able to convince 12 jurors to unanimously agree with him.
