She is trying to aid Trump's efforts while seeming to be an innocent observer. merely observing.
https://www.npr.org/2022/03/14/1086535100/wife-of-justice-thomas-rebuts-claims-of-conflict-of-interest In an interview with the Washington Free Beacon. a conservative website. she says. that while the couple "share many of the same ideals. principles and aspirations for America...we have our own separate careers. and out own ideas and opinions too." In the interview published Monday. she said that while she did attend the Jan. 6 rally to protest President Biden's election. she left before Donald Trump took the stage at noon. and before rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol. "I was disappointed and frustrated that there was violence that happened following a peaceful gathering of Trump supporters on the Ellipse." she told the Free Beacon. The interview was apparently an effort by Mrs. Thomas to deal with critical articles that have appeared recently in The New York Times and the New Yorker. describing her extensive conservative political activities. That has led some to suggest that her husband. Justice Thomas. should recuse himself from issues in which his wife has played a prominent role. Those range from her activities on behalf of Trump to her speeches condemning the Affordable Care Act.
This is a factual lie. clumsily spoken to take heat away from the calls for Justice Thomas to recuse himself.
To aid Trump while heading off calls that Thomas recuse himself. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/25/clarence-thomas-should-recuse-in-trump-january-6-cases-ron-wyden-says.html THOMAS SHOULD RECUSE HMSELF Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon. chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. said the revelation [ABOUT GINNI THOMAS’S TEXTS DURING THE JAN 6 RIOTS] cast doubts on Clarence Thomas’ ability to hear key cases. “In light of new reporting from numerous outlets. Justice Thomas’ conduct on the Supreme Court looks increasingly corrupt.” Wyden said in a statement. “Judges are obligated to recuse themselves when their participation in a case would create even the appearance of a conflict of interest. A person with an ounce of common sense could see that bar is met here.” he said. Wyden noted that Thomas had not recused himself in cases related to the 2020 election. and to the Jan. 6 riot. “Justice Thomas participated in cases related to Donald Trump’s efforts to rig and then overturn the 2020 election. while his wife was pushing to do the same.” Wyden said. “He was the lone dissent in a case that could have denied the January 6th Committee records pertaining to the same plot his wife supported.” he added. “At the bare minimum. Justice Thomas needs to recuse himself from any case related to the January 6th investigation. and should Donald Trump run again. any case related to the 2024 election.” the senator said. Wyden is the first senator to publicly call for Clarence Thomas not to hear Jan. 6 cases since the texts were reported.
