McConnell, McCarthy defend Justice Thomas amid ethics scrutiny

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) are throwing their support behind Justice Clarence Thomas amid new scrutiny over his participation in Trump-related Supreme Court decisions.

Thomas is facing calls to recuse himself from any Supreme Court cases involving the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack or the 2024 election, if former President Trump runs again. The calls come in the wake of new reports that his wife, Ginni Thomas, urged then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to make an aggressive effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

But the two GOP leaders are standing by Thomas.

"Justice Thomas is a great American and an outstanding Justice. I have total confidence in his brilliance and impartiality in every aspect of the work of the Court," McConnell said in a statement.

1. I guess they are okay with Ginni's involvement in the conspiracy...

Can assholes be any more assholery than these 2?

The list is long.

2. Sorta like John Gacy and Jeff Dahmer vouching for Ted Bundy. nt

15. Brutal - but true!

These guys were responsible for the lives of many (I'm guessing under 100?) - the RepubliQans are approaching 1 MILLION COVID deaths, not to mention what they've done with failures with health care, medical insurance, and, oh yeah, law enforcement justice.

Fine group of people they are.......

3. Can Republican leaders sink any lower?

This is their best opportunity to dump Trump but they are not going to take it.

[Bluethroughu]

4. Why bother caring about where the Laws are adjudicated...

When they couldn't bother to impeach a sitting president attempting a coup.


They are a disgrace.

[jcgoldie]

5. I'm amazed that even soulless Mitch McConnell can say...

"brilliance" and "Clarence Thomas" in the same sentence with a straight face.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

6. add it to the list, IOKIYAR

FU Mitch and Kevin, I will be shocked when they actually call out corruption in their own party, cause they never do.

[PufPuf23]

7. The GOP led by McConnell and McCarthy have zero interest in working together

to better the USA and all its inhabitants.

The GOP votes against legislation and then takes credit for what tuns out well.

The GOP is all for dismantling government except for situations where power and money go to their twisted uses.

None of the GOP have an iota of shame.

[MyOwnPeace]

16. PufPuf - you have explained.....

the RepubliQan Party's 'Pledge to America' - telling the world what they intend to do.

[PufPuf23]

17. Wish I knew what to do about the GOP; rather wish there exists a neat way to solve the problems and

then folks with smarts and authority could fix things.

Never in my mind did I ever conceive the present.

[MyOwnPeace]

19. "Never in my mind did I ever conceive the present."

Can't imagine that there is one sane, reasonable person in the US that ever did........

[onecaliberal]

8. So they support criminals. Ginny is up to her eyeballs in 1/6. That how it should be framed.

[Skittles]

9. Thomas is a piece of shit repuke hack

THAT'S what they are protecting.

[Cha]

10. Fascist Fucks defending Fascist FUCKS.

💙💛

[relayerbob]

11. Who'd a thunk it?

[Zorro]

12. That pair of anti-American fascists would say nothing else

[Baked Potato]

13. Conservative Universal Law of Opposites (CULO) says:

In reality, Thomas is Dim-Witted and Partisan.

[Solly Mack]

14. His brilliance?

LMAO

[Hassler]

18. Of course Moscow Mitch is with Traitor Thomas and her accomplice Crooked Clarence

Lock. Them. All. Up.

[Deuxcents]

20. Mitch is a no for Judge Jackson but a big yes for Thomas..
