Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' wife had ties to January 6 rally organizers and efforts to overturn the 2020 election

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, had ties to organizers of the January 6, 2021, rallies in support of President Donald Trump as well as to efforts to subvert the 2020 election results, according to a New York Times Magazine report published Tuesday.

The Times revealed details about Thomas' role, which had been previously unreported. The Washington Post reported last month that Thomas shared a Facebook post on January 6 before the violence broke out. "LOVE MAGA people!!!! GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU STANDING UP OR PRAYING." she wrote.

Time to resign or get pressured to with the negative publicity that will surely come out if it hasn't already.

He’s had plenty of negative publicity before. But the nature of the job is that nobody can pressure him to quit.

Hubby Thomas has never opined in our favor so what's there to lose?..Thomas's wife is a private citizen...no special privileges...if the committee is going after Trump's inner/outer circles of treasonous enablers then she's certainly one of them...

What's new is the ever-so-slight possibility that those politics might have some ever-so-small consequences.
