Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, the longtime conservative activist and wife of Supreme
Court Justice Clarence ThomasClarence ThomasWife of Clarence Thomas says she
attended Jan. 6 'Stop the Steal' rally Supreme Court denies GOP requests to halt
new maps in NC, Pennsylvania Reinstatement of marathon bomber's death sentence
exposes Democrats' need to hide radicalism MORE, attended the pro-Trump “Stop
the Steal” rally that preceded the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, according to an
article published Monday.

The previously unknown detail, based on an interview Ginni Thomas gave to the
conservative media outlet Washington Free Beacon, comes amid renewed questions
over the potential ethical implications of Thomas’s political activism on her
husband’s judicial position.

Thomas told the outlet she attended the Jan. 6 rally at the Ellipse but got cold
and left before former President TrumpDonald TrumpTrump: I am not using campaign
funds for new plane Do not be fueled: How investing in renewables can save the
world and neutralize modern Russia Wife of Clarence Thomas says she attended
Jan. 6 'Stop the Steal' rally MORE took the stage at noon. Dubbed “Stop the
Steal,” the event promoted Trump’s lie that he won the 2020 election, which
fueled the deadly insurrection later that day.



"I was disappointed and frustrated that there was violence that happened
following a peaceful gathering of Trump supporters on the Ellipse on Jan. 6,”
Thomas told the outlet. "There are important and legitimate substantive
questions about achieving goals like electoral integrity, racial equality, and
political accountability that a democratic system like ours needs to be able to
discuss and debate rationally in the political square. I fear we are losing that
ability."

The Supreme Court’s public information office did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.

Ginni Thomas’s support for Trump and the Jan. 6 rally — which caused a rift
within the close-knit community of former clerks to Justice Thomas and prompted
her last year to apologize to the group — was previously reported by The
Washington Post, which reviewed posts she made on the group’s message board. But
Monday’s article in the Washington Free Beacon was the first time she publicly
acknowledged having attended the event.

Thomas’s interview comes after recent reports in the New Yorker and New York
Times Magazine renewed questions about whether her involvement in conservative
causes raised ethical issues related to her husband’s life-tenured position as
one of the nation’s nine most powerful jurists, who often presides over
politically charged disputes.

 * RNC adds Salesforce as defendant in lawsuit against Jan. 6 panel
 * Proud Boys leader to remain in jail before Jan. 6 trial, judge rules

Their relationship came under similar scrutiny when Justice Thomas, also a
staunch conservative, was alone among the justices in January in indicating that
he would have granted Trump’s request to block a trove of his administration's
records from being handed to the House committee investigating the circumstances
of the Jan. 6 attack, with critics arguing Thomas should have recused himself
given his wife’s political activities.

In the interview published Monday, Thomas emphasized that her political
involvement is entirely walled off from her husband’s work.

“Like so many married couples, we share many of the same ideals, principles, and
aspirations for America,” she said. “But we have our own separate careers, and
our own ideas and opinions too. Clarence doesn’t discuss his work with me, and I
don’t involve him in my work.”
