Clarence Thomas Must Resign: Ron DeSantis Regular Contact Edition
Jane Mayer’s must-read piece in The New Yorker (which includes a shoutout to our very own Karoli Kuns!) should have already convinced you there’s something very, very wrong with the right-wing activism of Ginni Thomas while hubby Clarence rules on the same issues.
But now American Oversight has obtained evidence that Justice Thomas is in regular, direct contact with Florida’s MAGA governor, Ron DeSantis. In a pitch to his scheduling office in June, 2021, Ginni Thomas requested DeSantis’ attendance at one of her “coalition” meetings, saying:
Gov. DeSantis will be acquainted with me, as I video-interviewed him for a Leader series with Daily Caller years ago when he served in Congress, saw him at a state dinner in the Trump White House and my husband has been in contact with him too on various things of late. [My emphases added]
Ginni Thomas described the attendees at the meeting as a “cone of silence coalition” of “about 83 national leaders,” including Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows “as well as many other allies he [presumably DeSantis] would know.”
