EXCLUSIVE: Clarence Thomas' Wife Hired Ex-TPUSA Staffer Known For Saying 'I Hate Blacks'

Source: Mediate

Conservative activist Chrystal Clanton, who was forced to leave the right-wing student group Turning Point USA last year after her racist comments were revealed, was hired by the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Mediaite has learned.

Clanton’s racist comments were made known publicly after the New Yorker obtained screenshots of text messages in which she wrote, “I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like fuck them all .?.?. I hate blacks. End of story.”

Clanton served as TPUSA’s second-in-command — just below the group’s founder Charlie Kirk — for five years, before she left late last year after the nonprofit was made aware of the text messages and learned that they would be used in a story, according to multiple sources who spoke to Mediaite.

Shortly after she left TPUSA, Clanton was hired by Ginni Thomas — the wife of the only black Supreme Court Justice currently serving on the bench — to assist with her right-wing media ventures.

Maybe Judge Thomas should have recuse himself from Shelby County vs Holder.

SCOTUS justices like Thomas can be IMPEACHED.

Section 1 of Article 3 of the Constitution says:

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Just sayin.'
