The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas acknowledged for the first time that she attended former President Trump’s rally on Jan. 6, 2021, but insisted she did not join the attack on the Capitol that followed it.
Ginni Thomas, a prominent conservative activist in her own right, attended the “Stop the Steal rally,” which she framed as a righteous gathering of those concerned about the nation’s democracy, the right-wing Washington Free Beacon news outlet reported Monday.
“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,” she said. “I fear we are losing that ability.”
