Justice Clarence Thomas rebukes Biden-led confirmation hearings in new film

Justice Clarence Thomas is joining public criticism of Joe Biden whose handling of Thomas' 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearings when he was a senator has been a flash point in the former vice president's 2020 presidential campaign.

In a forthcoming documentary, "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words," Thomas lashes out at Democrats and Biden, who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee and oversaw his confirmation process.

"I felt as though in my life I had been looking at the wrong people as the people who would be problematic toward me. We were told that, 'Oh, it's gonna be the bigot in the pickup truck; it's gonna be the Klansmen; it's gonna be the rural sheriff,'" Thomas says in the film.

"But it turned out that through all of that, ultimately the biggest impediment was the modern day liberal," he said of the experience. "They were the ones who would discount all those things because they have one issue or because they have the power to caricature you."

Oh boohoo. You're still on the court and have been lucky so far no ethics charges have been brought against you.

I guess it had nothing to do with discussing with an employee under your direct supervision the pubic hair you noticed on the lid of a Coca Cola can.

It had to be those out of control liberals.

Kissing the butt of the far-right bigots …...Biden did not treat Thomas poorly ...He treated him too well … There were other witnesses who would have backed up the testimony of Anita Hill . This guy has been on the High Court for 27 years and has barely uttered a word … It's better for people to think you're a fool than to speak up and erase all doubts, right Clarence ? ….

He grew up on the receiving end of social, anti-labor and racial abuse.
The lesson he learned? Instead of fighting Against wrong and For what
is right, it's a lot Easier to Kiss up and Kick down in that system so that
someday You too can use your Token status to be the "man" Dishing it out.
