Amy Klobuchar demands Clarence Thomas RECUSE himself from Supreme Court election cases over wife Virginia’s texts with Mark Meadows: GOP Rep. Kinzinger says he’s ‘not convinced’ Trump’s ex-chief of staff gave all messages to Capitol riot committee
- A bombshell report claimed on Thursday that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife, a conservative activist, tried to overturn the 2020 election
- She sent multiple texts to Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows promoting QAnon conspiracy theories and criticizing the ‘Biden crime family’
- ‘Release the Kraken and save us from the left taking America down,’ one message touting discredited lawyer Sidney Powell reportedly reads
- Clarence Thomas was the lone dissenting vote when the Supreme Court said Trump could not block White House documents from being released
- Democrat Senators Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker both called on the Supreme Court to adopt ethics rules that guide Justice recusal, which currently don’t exist
- GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a member of the House Capitol riot committee, refused to confirm whether his panel had the Thomas texts
- Kinzinger also did not rule out subpoenaing Virginia Thomas in the future
Sen. Amy Klobuchar says Justice Clarence Thomas needs to recuse himself from election cases over his wife’s texts.
“This is a textbook case for removing him, recusing him from these decisions…The entire integrity of the court is on the line here.” https://t.co/Cghdx0vPeO pic.twitter.com/3IHHIl9crj
