Ginni Thomas Didn’t Just Praise MAGA Supporters on January 6. She Actually Attended the “Stop the Steal” Rally

The conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas acknowledged for the first time that she was at the rally. But she got cold, she said, and left before Trump incited an insurrection.

Virginia Thomas moderates a pannel at the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland on February 23, 2017.
Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, acknowledged for the first time on Monday that she attended the “Stop the Steal” protest on January 6, 2021, the rally hosted by Donald Trump shortly before his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. The former president used the event to falsely claim that the 2020 election was illegitimate and encouraged the hundreds in attendance to “fight like hell” and march to the Capitol building, where lawmakers preparing to certify Joe Biden’s victory were subsequently interrupted by a violent, antidemocratic mob.

Ginni, a prominent conservative activist whose activities have attracted renewed attention of late in light of the cases her husband is presiding over, had previously shown public support for the rally. She wrote “LOVE MAGA people!!!!” in a January 6 Facebook post—one she later edited to note it was “written before violence” broke out, according to Slate. But her actual attendance was not publicly known until she acknowledged it in a new interview with the Washington Free Beacon. “I was disappointed and frustrated that there was violence that happened following a peaceful gathering of Trump supporters on the Ellipse on Jan. 6,” she told the conservative outlet. Thomas then described “electoral integrity” as one of the “important” issues that must be debated “rationally in the political square. I fear we are losing that ability.”
