Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told attendees at a judicial conference Friday that he and his wife have faced “nastiness” and “lies” over the last several years and decried Washington, D.C., as a “hideous place.”
Thomas spoke at a conference attended by judges, attorneys and other court personnel in the 11th Circuit Judicial Conference, which hears federal cases from Alabama, Florida and Georgia. He made the comments pushing back on his critics in response to a question about working in a world that seems meanspirited.
“I think there’s challenges to that. We’re in a world and we — certainly my wife and I the last two or three years it’s been — just the nastiness and the lies, it’s just incredible,” Thomas said.
“But you have some choices. You don’t get to prevent people from doing horrible things or saying horrible things. But one you have to understand and accept the fact that they can’t change you unless you permit that,” Thomas said.
Maybe it’s because he’s such an awful awful person that everyone is just so mean to him and his awful awful wife.
It’s worth informing those who don’t know that his wife is a 2020 election denyer. She referred to it as a “heist”. She’s a piece of work, just like him.
Not just that, she was actively involved in January 6 iirc
It is genuinely amazing the lengths this man will go to deny his level of impropriety as if it’s some grand conspiracy and not heavily documented; I am happy others are open to making his existence as miserable as he makes ours.
He’s whining about this from the seat of his free RV in his way to another luxury fishing trip.
