Conservatives Are Trying Not To Freak Out Over Ginni Thomas' Text Messages - Ring of Fire
Conservatives in both Congress and the media are trying to put on a brave face and make it appear that they aren't freaking out over Ginni Thomas' text message scandal. But their words and actions reveal that they are anything but calm. Mitch McConnell says that he has full confidence in Clarence Thomas' ability to separate himself from his wife's opinions, while the Wall Street Journal is pushing conspiracy theories to downplay the recent revelations. These attempts to calm the fears show that the fear does exist, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.
