Trump secured a strong, conservative majority for the Supreme Court. Since then, Democrats have been on the warpath. They have tried to make a case for dismantling the highest court as we know it. They want to impose term limits or pack the court with more liberal justices.
To that end, they have tried to smear the reputations of many respected, conservative justices.
Because he is the longest-serving conservative, they have been merciless to Justice Clarence Thomas. While speaking about his life and work, Thomas singled out what is going on in DC. And he is dropping a hammer on the swamp that is trying to destroy himself and his family.
From CNN:
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas repeatedly pushed back on his critics during remarks Friday at a judicial conference in Alabama, lamenting what he described as the “nastiness” and “lies” directed at him and calling Washington a “hideous place.”…“They don’t bomb you, necessarily, but they bomb your reputation or your good name or your honor. And that’s not a crime but they can do as much harm that way.”…
“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.
Thomas called DC a “hideous place.” He said it was a city full of “nastiness” and “lies.” The Supreme Court justice discussed how DC operatives try to destroy a person’s reputation and work through slander and accusations.
Thomas and his wife have faced the brunt of many of these accusations in recent years. This hasn’t even been the first time the left has tried to ruin his reputation. Democrats, including Joe Biden, attacked him years ago while he was up for consideration for the court.
The justice’s claims are far from unfounded. We’ve seen, time and again, how the swamp has gone after other conservatives for standing up for American values. Democrats have not stopped attacking Donald Trump and his family—simply for putting Americans first.
The swamp has relentlessly slandered Trump, his wife, and even their children. They have gone from spreading lies about him—to openly prosecuting him for supposed crimes. It seems the swamp runs much deeper than even Thomas has claimed.
Key Takeaways:
- Justice Clarence Thomas called Washington, DC a “hideous place.”
- He commented on how politicians spread “nastiness” and “lies” to destroy a person’s reputation.
- Thomas has long been a target of the DC swamp for being a conservative justice.
