The Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday in a case relating to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot following the 2020 presidential election.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas faced criticism on Tuesday over comments he made during a case focused on the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.'In oral argument today, Justice Thomas is minimizing the severity of the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol. Perhaps that's because his wife was part of the conspiracy. What a disgrace that he's sitting on this case,' lawyer and former CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
'A number of other social media users referenced Thomas' wife, Virginia 'Ginni' Thomas, as the justice has faced calls to step aside from January 6 cases after it was previously revealed that she had conversations with former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in which she encouraged him to continue efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.Ginni Thomas was also in attendance at a rally by former President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., just ahead of the riot.
