Ginni Thomas, whose husband is Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, said she attended the pro-Donald Trump January 6 rally that turned violent.
WASHINGTON -- Conservative activist Virginia"Ginni" Thomas said in an interview published Monday that although she attended a rally on January 6, 2021, she"played no role" in planning the events that day and that she doesn't involve her husband, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, in the political work she does pushing conservative causes.
"Federal recusal law says that any justice 'shall disqualify' if their impartiality might reasonably be questioned," said Gabe Roth of Fix the Court, a group seeking more transparency from Supreme Court justices."Here Virginia Thomas attended the rally on the ellipse, she is close to those who have been subpoenaed by the Committee and she is involved in several groups that have cast doubt on the results of the 2020 election," he said.
In the interview, Ginni Thomas, who runs a political consulting firm, stressed that she is going to continue her role as a political activist.
