“Then there was the post [by Clarence Thomas’s wife, Ginny Thomas] in August (since deleted) proclaiming that teenage survivors of the Parkland, Fla., school shooting are ‘dangerous to the survival of our nation’ bc of their gun-control activism.” 2018 1/ washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…
13/ Wow. Ginni Thomas launched a group 8 years ago called “Groundswell.” The purpose was to launch a “30 front war” against Democrats. Thread and article by @karoli
16/ Ginni Thomas “hired as an assistant a woman [Crystal Clanton] fired by the conservative group Turning Point USA for texting a colleague a year earlier that ‘I HATE BLACK PEOPLE.’” 1/26/19 nytimes.com/2019/01/26/us/…
17/ Oh look. Crystal Clanton (Ginni Thomas’s former assistant who reportedly once texted a colleague “I hate black people”) just landed a job clerking for judge William Pryor on the 11th Circuit. @mjs_DC
18/ Oh. my. God. I knew I recognized Pryor’s name. He’s the former Alabama AG who prematurely sealed the ballots from the AL gubernatorial race in 2002 (preventing a manual recount) after 7k votes inexplicably vanished from @DonSiegelman’s total in the night. The vendor? ES&S.
19/ I wrote about that race here. If you think ur sure that the GOP has never rigged electronic vote tallies, then you haven’t heard about what happened in @donsiegelman’s race. How hideously ironic that this now ties back to Ginni “Stop the Steal” Thomas. link.medium.com/aMmefmDYbkb

21/ PS. I’m not saying Siegelman’s race was definitely stolen, but I sure wouldn’t bet money that it wasn’t. The race—and what Rove’s goons did to Siegelman after—was shady AF.
24/ Just a reminder that John Eastman (of the infamous 6-Point memo) clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas (Ginni’s husband). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_…
25/ IMO, Ginni should be investigated re: January 6. Note, however, there is no evidence she paid for buses to the insurrection. This article explains. nytimes.com/2021/01/11/tec…
26/ Barbara Ledeen has “endorsed” Ginni Thomas on LinkedIn.
Trump has picked Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK & who performed the Nazi salute on video (in apparent defense of Elon Musk). 1/
MAGA’s favorite White South African activist group—Afriforum—admitted last year that “there is no white genocide going on in South Africa.”
(In 2018, Afriforum had traveled to the US to discuss their claim that White South African farmers were being murdered due to their race. They have since hobnobbed with Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, New Founding, CPAC, & NatCon.) 1/
The Center for Renewing America—founded by Trump’s OMB Director pick Russ Vought, a top architect of Project 2025—has *explicitly* said that it wants the federal govt to “eliminate” Obamacare’s life-saving Medicaid expansion. Here are some stats on the expansion. 1/ cbpp.org/research/healt…
Pete Hegseth attends a church that belongs to the CREC, the evangelical denomination founded by Christ Church pastor Doug Wilson. This guy. 👇 h/t @ExaminingMoscow 1/
3/ Doug Wilson founded the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, formerly known as the Confederation of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC). Pete Hegseth attends a CREC church as discussed in the USA Today piece.
