Senator Calls For Clarence Thomas to Resign
"I will say what needs to be said. Clarence Thomas should resign from the Supreme Court of the United States," Markey said while speaking to supporters on Tuesday."His reputation is unsalvageable. It is evident that he cannot judge right from wrong, so why should he be judging the country's most important cases on its highest court."
The comments by Markey come as Thomas has faced a wave of criticism following a report from ProPublica, detailing numerous trips that Thomas and his wife, Ginni, took that were paid for by Republican donor, Harlan Crow.from ProPublica stated that Thomas traveled for nearly 20 years on trips paid for by Crow, including taking the donor's yacht and private jet.
"Justice Thomas refused to recuse himself on cases about efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, despite his wife's being implicated in them. He hid years of luxury travel and the purchase of his mother's home by a right-wing billionaire with an agenda. These latest disclosures reflect a justice who doesn't know right from wrong and corruption that is inconsistent with a seat on the nation's highest court.
"You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America's constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History," Ginni Thomas wrote in one message to former White House Chief of Staff
