Clarence Thomas’ wife denounces town’s Black Lives Matter sign
[NYPOST] Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, the prominent conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, recently denounced a DC-area Black Lives Matter banner.Black Lives Matter is a "Trojan Horse" for "mob rule" and "cultural revolution," Ginni Thomas wrote in a June 24 email to Clifton, Virginia, officials, the Washington Post reports.Thomas, who is white but whose husband is the only black Supreme Court justice, is influential in her own right in DC and in White House meetings has pushed President Trump to pick more conservative aides. Thomas objected to a banner that reads "Welcome to Clifton where Black Lives Matter," which was installed after the killing of George Floyd by Minnesota police. Unrest following Floyd’s death included arson and widespread looting near the White House. "BLM is a bit of a dangerous Trojan Horse and they are catching well-meaning people into dangerous posturing that can invite mob rule and property looting," Ginni Thomas wrote in her email. "Let’s not be tricked into joining cause with radical hard boyz seeking to foment a cultural revolution because they hate America." Clifton is a small town that’s about a 45-minute drive southwest of Washington. The town’s mayor, independent William Hollaway, told the Washington Post his decision to hang the banner was "the biggest controversy we’ve seen in many years." Posted by: Fred 2020-07-12 |
