Democrat vows to impeach Clarence Thomas if elected
[WashingtonTimes] A Democrat running for the U.S. House in Massachusetts has made an unusual political promise: Put me in Congress and I’ll impeach Justice Clarence Thomas for sexual harassment and perjury.State Sen. Barbara L’Italien said the promise would be part of a broad assault on sexual abuse at the highest levels of the U.S. government that also would include congressional hearings about claims made by many women about President Trump.  At Justice Thomas’s confirmation hearings in 1991, Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment ‐ one of the first such cases made against a public figure. Justice Thomas vehemently denied the charges, calling them a "high-tech lynching" against an "uppity" black man.Numerous women who’d worked with Justice Thomas said the graphic accusations from Ms. Hill were not credible to them. But according to Ms. L’Italien, there is "considerable evidence that Thomas lied under oath" about sexually harassing Ms. Hill. Spokesman Joe Katz told Politico that his boss is the first congressional candidate to call for Justice Thomas’ impeachment. Posted by: Vast Right Wing Conspiracy 2018-08-31 |
