In addition to pleading the Fifth today numerous times, [unconfirmed] The wife of a Supreme Court Justice DID confirm to the 1-6 House Committee, that she believes “the 2020 election was stolen” — even now.
Of course, Mrs Thomas did not provide any facts or evidence for her continuing conspiratorial claims. Why should she, in this post-factual age — we seem to have slipped into ...
Ginni Thomas claims 2020 election was stolen in meeting with House Jan. 6 committee
Bart Jansen, USA TODAY — Sept 29, 2022
Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeated claims the 2020 election was stolen, despite a lack of evidence, while testifying Thursday before the House committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
[...]
The committee has been eager to talk with Ginni Thomas because she sent dozens of text messages to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows urging him to fight the results of the 2020 election.
Among the 29 messages, Ginni Thomas called Biden's win “the greatest Heist of our History” in a text on Nov. 10, 2020, according to The Washington Post.
“Do not concede,” Thomas wrote on Nov. 6, 2020. “It takes time for the army who is gathering for his back.”

The article goes on to discuss Thomas’ efforts to encourage state reps in two states, to commit fraud in the Trump “fake electors” scheme.

Some of my thoughts on their still-active conspiracy:
Those who make big claims — harmful claims — without evidence, should be held to account for their propaganda inflaming actions. If nothing else, the corporate media should correct their deceptions — strongly, loudly, and as repeatedly as the insurrection-instigators have spread their Lies in the first place.
Lies which continue to live on in the dissenters/rubes imaginations, largely due to the corporate media’s active endorsement, or perhaps worse yet, the more centered media’s silent condoning — of those ongoing deceptions — directly attacking our democracy.
It should be that the fact-finding needs to be repeated — to a national audience — as often as their unproven Lies/Theories of the schemers have been repeated. If not even more so. Until a national “saturation level” is reached, on what are the facts of the 2020 Election.
Disproving their nonsense, should not be difficult. Finding the will and the air-time to do so, seems however to be a whole other matter.
Confusion sells. Both-sidesism sells.
In between cashing-in on those commercial receipts seasons, Traditional Media should be asking — Exactly what are they “buying” with their no-sidesim, above-it-all, programming approach?
Insurrection Round II ? Does a State-run media ring any alarm bells? [say good-bye to those Revenues streams … and maybe it will ...]
Just look how involved Mrs Thomas was, in trying to get us there …
And how little involved the 4th Estate was, in trying to stop it.
Where are the ad-buys in that — you know being an actual Constitutional watchdog, and all?
