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.
Yeah it got nasty WHEN CLARENCE THOMAS PUT HIS OWN PUBIC HAIR ON A COKE CAN. True story. Look it up. I still believe Anita Hill
What the media did to Anita Hill was absolutely horrendous and every outlet and personality who made a punch line out of her back then should apologize for their absolute disrespect of a woman who did something that was beyond brave.
His mocking her, along with all the Monica Lewinsky jokes, is a big reason why Jay Leno can go get fucked.
Yep, the democratic senator from Delaware that guided his confirmation through the judiciary committee should be shunned forever.
In favor of the grab em by the pussy guy?
Ideally those things would’ve been raised during the primary so Americans wouldn’t be left with the choice between a conservative and a fascist.
.
It’s not just a story, it’s a gag he has done multiple times. There’s at least two coworkers in another era of his life who claimed he pulled the same prank (or whatever you call that)
I would beat the absolute shit out of this bitch if he tried that
yes, violence solves everything.

Citizens v United bitch. You fucked America and deserve to rot in hell.
When looking for a starting point for where things went bad, Citizens vs. United is what history books will use.
A little Bush v Gore thing too, if we’re piling on.
That was a coup and Americans should have rioted.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told his law clerks in the ‘90s that he wanted to serve for 43 years to make liberals’ lives ‘miserable’
Clever of him to make most people’s lives miserable so he doesn’t miss any liberals.
Even made himself miserable just in case he’s secretly a lib.
Please politely accept my stripping your rights away. - Thomas
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.
Judging by the title alone, it sounds like the critics are pushing him.
Clarence Thomas is an evil man, He sent his nephew to one of those teen punishment schools in Georgia called Hidden Lake Academy.
I like to link this everywhere one of those places get mentioned. It rattled me.
gee if you hate it so much how’bout you fucking LEAVE, CLARENCE.
He and every other corrupt and loathsome creature festering in the GOP’s worst cesspool love to claim they are being treated unfairly when enough people call them out.
They’re all victims, despite being predatory pieces of shit that ruin lives with their bought-and-sold policy decisions.
Clarence Thomas likes to do this funny joke where he takes a sip of his drink and says “Did someone put a pube in here?” He also has and openly talks about a porn addiction.
Sadly sexual harasment is hidden amongst his contribution to the destructuon and skull fucking of democracy.
