twitter page. and people are saying, well, george conway is saying this. how does this affect kellyanne conway, she can t do her job. split household. and here we have ginny thomas, spouting some not just far right. some of the things she has said are down right conspiracy theories. she said the parkland children were a danger to democracy. that s not just conservative. that s i would even say she deleted that post. and she deleted that post. but put it up in the first place. it still lives on the internet somewhere. so i will say that i was interested to see that it seems as though folks in the media and other folks are looking to hold, if you will, justice thomas to a settler standard they are holding kellyanne conway. not entirely analogous, because george conway is speaking out against the policies that kellyanne conway, his wife, goes into the office every day to defend. agreed. and it s murky what s going on in the supreme court. but the question is, can you b
and ginny thomas was an outspoken political advocate even before they met. but dana, supreme court watchers do warn that even though she is entitled to her own opinions, with such close scrutiny of the supreme court in this upcoming year, it could become more important to stay away from any appearances of impropriety. dana? jessica, thank you so much. that interview between husband and wife was interesting. thank you. back around the panel. okay. so as jessica reported, look, ginny thomas, i remember when she was working for dick army in the 90s. you worked with her in conservative circles back then. what s your take on all of this, bill crystal? she s got a different way than i have in terms of donald trump and some aspects of conservatism. but i don t think there s really a story here. there s zero evidence that justice thomas voted some way on a case because of his wife s views. he s a very consistent justice. very strong, originalist. i think most court-watchers could predic
one user responded to a recent post, you re literally married to a sitting supreme court justice and you put out this partisan propaganda. you tarnish the people s faith in the court and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. ginny thomas has every right to have whatever opinion she wants. she has every right as an individual to express those opinions publicly. the question is whether, by expressing those opinions publicly, she is calling into question she is providing fodder for those who want to attack the impartiality, the credibility of the institutional legitimacy of the supreme court. reporter: ginny thomas didn t respond to our request for comment. clarence thomas, you re the best man walking the face of the earth. reporter: she did interview her husband in january as a contributor for the conservative site, daily caller. oh, god, you make me laugh. reporter: their banter offered a window into their close and playful relationship. i keep a sign on my desk, don t m
court justice is raising questions. for years, ginny thomas, supreme court thomas wife has been a vocal person in circles. but her most recent is #maga all the way. a supreme court spouse for decades. virginia thomas, better known as ginny, well-known for speaking out. the second reagan revolution is growing. reporter: but it s her recent, rapid succession of facebook posts blasting democrats and promoting highly partisan views that are prompting pushback. earlier this month, thomas put up this meme, asking, where is the wall? portraying california as a war zone, where undocumented immigrants attack and carjack americans. she reposted this claim of democratic voter fraud after the mid terms with no proof at all. she has even derided republicans for not going after the left, who she has labeled as liberal fascists one week after a woman was killed in charlottesville.
does in their personal and private time? and i think that the you know, this is not totally out of the question. i think there are valid concerns here when it comes to the things that ginny thomas is putting on her facebook page. i think justice thomas has been very clear and consistent on his views and certainly how he has basehaved and acted and ruled on the high court. and that hasn t changed. and like i said, there are two strong-minded people, and certainly as that piece showed, they re madly in love. but, look, she s a strong voice for the conservative movement. and i m actually glad she s getting some attention, because she s been very active in the conservative movement for many, many years. but what she says and does on her private time and on her facebook page is not going to influence justice thomas. but does justice thomas agree with what his wife is saying? much like we asked kellyanne conway. i m not a kellyanne conway defender, but we have to put the question on th
