“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.
Wait. What?! David Michael Levin, a Republican school board candidate in Manatee, Florida successfully breached Lee County, Florida’s election website in 2015 and was charged only with two MISDEMEANORS?!! What the h#ll is going on w/ Florida?! @SteveLemongello@SenWhitehouse 1/
It reminds me of the 2016 ransomware attack in Palm Beach County, Florida’s election office, though I have no evidence they are connected. I found it really odd that there was so little news coverage of it. 3/ threadreaderapp.com/thread/1228319…
.@MatthewTyrmand—a “Bannon protege,” former Breitbart writer, Project Veritas Board member, & supposed 1A proponent—lost his defamation suit against a journalist who called him “part of a global war against democracy by right-wing actors …” 5/20/21 1/ wiproud.com/news/politics/…
Again, these people claim to support the first amendment. 🙄2/
3/ Here is Tyrmand waxing poetic about the first amendment. Notice how he specifically praises James O’Keefe of Project Veritas…
It gives me no joy to know this, much less to spread the word. But we must keep our eyes wide open. The clock to 2022 is ticking. We must not let ourselves be strung along yet again. 2/
Did they visit with TFG, Flynn, or anyone else in the inner MAGA circle? Sam Lazar aka #FacepaintBlowhard is a violent insurrectionist. After Jan 6, he attended a fundraiser hosted by Giuliani in PA. #PASeditionSquad 1/
Scholars “interviewed 89 former members of white supremacist organizations,” & found “that the process of disengagement from the ‘totalizing commitment’ & ‘complete identity transformation’ of hate is much like that of an addict trying to stay clean.” 1/ daily.jstor.org/how-white-supr…
2/ This is it. This is howTrump did it: he gave 20-30% of Americans (the MAGAs) an all consuming new hate-filled identity, complete with a costume (the red hats). It’s how Hitler did it too.
3/ The Trump Bear always freaked me out. Trump became more than a President for a subset of America. He became their mascot. wired.com/story/trumpy-b…
