Lawmakers wanted to ask Thomas about her urging Trump White House and officials in several states to challenge the results of the 2020 election.

By Bart Jansen

WASHINGTON – Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeated claims the 2020 election was stolen, despite a lack of evidence, while testifying Thursday before the House committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.

The committee wanted to interview Ginni Thomas about her advocacy for challenging the results of the 2020 election. The chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., told reporters after the session she repeated her opinion the election was stolen despite a lack of evidence.

"She said that," Thompson told CNN.

1. OMG...

She is insane.

[area51]

8. +1

This isn't Ginni Thomas's first rodeo in a cult.

[Martin Eden]

21. As are more than 60% of Republican voters.

Last I saw it was 61%, but it had been higher.

[SouthernDem4ever]

31. Completely insane

and stupid. Can election boards or election system companies sue her for slander?

[ShazzieB]

60. Dominion and Smartmatics voting machine companies are suing for defamation.

There are multiple lawsuits in progress, against a number of different people and corporations. The list includes Mike Lindell, Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, Fox News, and more!

I think most of the accusations were aimed at those companies rather than specific election boards or officials, and I expect they'll win.

2. Belief

Not referring to religion. And I’m not a doctor. But these two statements are pretty much most normal peoples guiding principles.

Believing something that isn’t true does make it true.

Believing something that isn’t true that has repeatedly been proven not to be true is an illness.

[orangecrush]

51. THIS

[madashelltoo]

3. Ginni Thomas also thinks

Clarence Thomas is handsome. No more needs to be said.

[Gore1FL]

4. Cultists gotta cult. nt

[Rebl2]

7. So true

[Solly Mack]

5. They all want to die on the hill of crazy.

They're happy doing so. (MAGAs)

[mike_c]

6. of course she did

She's a Supreme Court justice's spouse. Admitting that the election wasn't "stolen" after having earlier maintained it was would destroy her credibility. Look at Alex Jones, for example.

[Botany]

9. Joseph Goebbels: The Big Lie

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

BTW Ginni damn well knows that Trump lost but in the end she is a "Good Nazi" in the ongoing Christo Fascist Coup.

[Warpy]

25. Fortunately for us, they lack the reach of Goebbels

because TVs and radios that are permanently tuned to OAN and Pox and Newsmax haven't been distributed free to any household that wants a new TV or radio.

Since most people choose other alternatives, including sports and entertainment if they're not news junkies, The Big Lie is being seen as a hallmark of insanity and treated accordingly at the polls (so far).

[Katcat]

11. This thing

Is enjoying her life of power too damn much. She’s abusing her husband’s position for fame, money and power. In short, she’s a real piece of work!

[SouthernDem4ever]

48. Piece of work is too nice of a way to describe her

[Buckeyeblue]

12. She is as looney as it gets

And there is no reason to believe Clarence isn't as bad. I suspect the 3 blind mice that Trump appointed are just as bad.

[Tolerant1]

13. She just looks like the type...

of wife that rides her husband like a dime store pony on every perceived f***ing thing. Poor Clarence has had a rough day at the office, and there she stands in the garage, having heard the garage door opening. Hell, she probably was tracking him on "Find My Friends."And she's ready to pounce. Why? It doesn't matter. To her, it's a big damn deal. Poor Clarence...

I can't relate...in...any...way.

[Warpy]

18. All she needs is a rolling pin to smack into her palm, and there's the stereotype

I'm looking at the bitter line of her mouth and the messianic zeal in her eyes and all I can come up with is that she needs treatment of one kind or another.

I'd still rather see her than be her. She's wallowed in right wing horseshit so long she has become one with it.

[Tolerant1]

19. Warpy, what an image you conjured up!

I guaran-damn-tee you she calls the shots in that house! The scorn we hold for her husband would probably be better directed at her. She's dangerous.

[oldsoftie]

34. Or maybe a frying pan to the back of the head...

[calimary]

38. Welcome to DU, Tolerant1!

They deserve each other - except repositioned. BOTH OF 'EM as far away from power as possible.

[GenThePerservering]

41. Clarence is just as bad

and a lot more dangerous - he's just not as screechy and shouty.

[Polybius]

57. Yes, the difference is that he's a lot smarter than her

He votes right wing, but doesn't do the things she does and says in public.

[rlegro]

14. Low-level intellects like Ms. Thomas....

(and I make that claim about her based on reading her ungrammatical tweets) used to say they relied on "alternative facts" to stake out their claims. They now entirely rely on pure faith, demanding more inquiries even when dozens or hundreds of such inquiries in courts, election commission recounts and audits, and other sources find nothing of consequence. Republican politics are now no more than a faith-based system, and the faith they serve is a very narrow, twisted version of fundamentalist Christian tenets. We won't be a great country again until she and her husband and their ilk are again hiding asleep in the woodwork and under moldy leaves, only coming out every 26 years in the night to mate.

[bluestarone]

15. There is absolutely NO DOUBT in my mind that her husband will

100% vote to install TFG as president, if given the chance! Also would vote to let state legislatures disregard their own voters choice. Install their own electors!

[ZonkerHarris]

16. Her husband needs to resign now. She's a traitor. He's compromised.

[rlegro]

17. She has a mind like a rusty steel trap

For example, take this direct quote from Thomas in the USA Today article:

“Do not concede,” Thomas wrote on Nov. 6, 2020. “It takes time for the army who is gathering for his back.”
and: "[Biden's win] was “the greatest Heist of our History.”

I wouldn't hire her to be a substitute kindergarten teacher.

[SouthernDem4ever]

49. She really is a magat moran

and clarence must be suffering from dementia from his recent ramblings.

[BigmanPigman]

20. If it looks like a psycho freak,

walks like a psycho freak and acts like a psycho freak there is only one conclusion...she IS a psycho freak (right up there with the rest of the treasonous bastards). Try her and give her the same justice all treasonous enemies of the state should receive. Fuck her and her psycho freak hubby. Off with their heads!

[Evolve Dammit]

23. Bennie Thompson is not the person needed at the moment. Let Jamie or Adam run it FCS.

[TomDaisy]

24. psychotic witch

[Lonestarblue]

26. I can believe that they moon is made of green cheese, but I have no proof to support it.

Same with the 2020 election. Every person like Thomas needs to be forces to read the. Ourt cases Trump brought and explain their lack of credible evidence of fraud. Conspiracy theories with no basis of fact are not proof. These people are utter fools.

[PortTack]

27. Hey ginni...let's see the receipts! Got none??? Then STFU!!

[llmart]

28. I'd like someone to wipe that slimy grin off her hateful face.

[BradAllison]

29. Arrogant, smug asshole.

[ashredux]

30. Basically, she was just saying, fuck you

[NoMoreRepugs]

32. On a related note it's been confirmed GinnieT is a

BatShitCrazedLoon.

[calimary]

33. PROVE IT, ginni.

Show us the proof. WHERE'S the evidence? And NO, you don't get extra time to make some shit up to "prove" your point. Show what you've got - NOW. And under oath.

[mpcamb]

35. A new defense: I'm too fucking crazy for you to deal with...

[LiberalFighter]

36. Arrest her! Throw her in the slammer.

[calimary]

39. Tell her those black and white striped prison outfits are slimming.

[SunSeeker]

37. Is she going for an insanity defense?

[mpcamb]

40. A new defense: I'm too fucking crazy for you to deal with...

[sakabatou]

42. The tinfoil hat must be on her head too tight

[LudwigPastorius]

43. Ginni really needs to try to keep it together.

[RockRaven]

44. Whatever she believes is irrelevant, reporting on it is a distraction. The issue is what she DID.

It hardly matters though, because powerful and connected people hardly ever get prosecuted in this country. She's never going to get what she deserves from the criminal justice system.

[myohmy2]

45. I'd...

...be interested in knowing what else she claims...

...this is what influences the highest court in the land...

...what a fuckin' joke...

...

[Aussie105]

46. Well yes, she will say the election was stolen.

Without that 'fact', everything she says, thinks and does/has done just falls apart.

Makes sense! (Not to me though.)

[Roy Rolling]

47. Deprogramming Was a Lucrative Business

After the Jonestown tragedy, the 1980s and 1990s were full of profiteers like Thomas taking money from distraught family members. She cashed-in, she didn’t fight the cults themselves. No, she took money from cult victims.

Why not oppose the cults? Because she profits from her own cult of “deprogrammers”—as idiotic as any of the cults she professes to extract people from. She are a cult. 😂

[Bengus81]

50. I am sooooo shocked

NOT............

[Bucky]

52. What you get when their bullshit goes unchecked for years

[TNNurse]

53. Evidence???

She also apparently said she and her husband NEVER discussed whether the election was fair or not. Yeah, sure.

[Stuart G]

54. She is a sick piece of s**t...apologies to all people who have to take a s**t.

[867-5309.]

55. She has said as much publicly, IIRC

n/t

[Torchlight]

56. And now she finally says so on record

Making it much more difficult to run away from our own positions as she has done since May.

[mahina]

58. Surrounding her, unseen in that type shot are seven lawyers.

Maybe one or two of them or security I don’t know but that’s a lot of lawyers and we should know who those people are.

[BigDemVoter]

59. What a SACK of SHIT.

[Demovictory9]

61. She is sick
