Clarence Thomas’ Billionaire Bestie Collects Nazi Memorabilia
Thomas has been on the hot seat this week over the luxury travel he and coup-loving wife Ginni have been treated to from Crow, thanks to the amazing reporting of ProPublica. Besides the fact that the largesse has a strong stench of corruption, there’s not much doubt Thomas broke the law and quite likely Crow did, too.
That’s not counting that this Supreme Court justice, who claimed to prefer RV parks and Walmart parking lots, while he was secretly traveling to the most exclusive places on earth via yacht and private jet, now claims he never saw anything wrong with taking these undisclosed handouts because Harlan Crow and his wife “are among our dearest friends” and have been so for over 25 years.
Now, Thomas might want to explain why he’s such close friends with someone who collects Nazi memorabilia, including a signed copy of Mein Kampf, and what the Washingtonian describes as “a garden full of statues of the 20th century’s worst despots.”
