Thomas says critics are pushing 'nastiness' and calls Washington a 'hideous place'
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has told attendees at a judicial conference that he and his wife have faced “nastiness and lies” over the last several years.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told attendees at a judicial conference Friday that he and his wife have faced “nastiness” and “lies” over the last several years and decried Washington, D.C., as a “hideous place.”
Thomas spoke at a conference attended by judges, attorneys and other court personnel in the 11th Circuit Judicial Conference, which hears federal cases from Alabama, Florida and Georgia. He made the comments pushing back on his critics in response to a question about working in a world that seems meanspirited.
“I think there’s challenges to that. We’re in a world and we — certainly my wife and I the last two or three years it’s been — just the nastiness and the lies, it’s just incredible,” Thomas said.
“But you have some choices. You don’t get to prevent people from doing horrible things or saying horrible things. But one you have to understand and accept the fact that they can’t change you unless you permit that,” Thomas said.
John Oliver says he's willing to put his offer back on the table, Clarence.
Aw, poor sugar baby Clarence doesn’t like when people call out his blatant abuse of power for personal gain? I guess you should just do the country a favor and fucking retire.
Good news Thomas, you can resign and leave!
Clarence Thomas is an evil man, He sent his nephew to one of those teen punishment schools in Georgia called Hidden Lake Academy.
He is welcome to leave at anytime, no one is forcing him to be there
There certainly are some nasty people out there. Like ones who tell inappropriate sexual anecdotes in professional settings throughout their career.
Fuck off and die?
If it's such a nasty place, he's free to step down and leave 🤷♂️
Name one nasty lie you sack of shit.
Take the million a year and the motor coach.
Aww, did we hurt his widdle feewings?
I am sure if I sold out my fellow man on a daily basis for cry baby republicans, I'd hate my job too.
Sucks to suck, bitch!
Clarence Thomas proves that progress isn’t linear nor guaranteed. What a let down after Thurgood Marshall.
Corrupt Clarence Thomas who accepts bribes and doesn't recuse himself from ruling on the insurrection efforts his wife took part in thinks DC is too mean.
Resign you creepy asshole.
Anita Hill had a few things to say about Clarence and nastiness
OK Clarence.
If washington is so hideous LEAVE AND NEVER GO BACK
What a disgrace.
Poor old sweet Thomas. If only he could go on about selling out democracy and sexualy harassing women in peace.
"The nastiness and lies, it's just incredible,** and the truths... The truths are even worse as they just won't shut up about them - it's like ummm guys, hello, I didn't discourse that stuff on forms for a reason. You're being like super uncool right now?!"**
Yeah, Clarence... I'd describe anywhere you and your fellow right-wing parasites hang out as hideous, too - it's not the place, it's you.
I’ll say this in his defense, he is part of why I’m married. Mind you it’s because he’s a shitbag that threatened to take away my right to marry, but still that may be the only positive effect he’s had
I guess he didn’t get much of this before when he was busy with all his vacations. He’s just not so used to be called out on his bullshit from such a wider audience as now.
He just said he won't change, can we get rid of him yet?
