Josh Hawley has finally broken his silence over the whole Ginni Thomas texting with ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about how they should overturn the 2020 presidential election results scandal and–surprise!–he thinks the whole thing is a misogynistic attack against… Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas?
Huh?Hawley went on CNN last night to express his outrage over people calling on Justice Thomas to recuse himself from any Supreme Court cases related to January 6 or the 2024 election after text messages revealed his wife took part in a perceived plot to overthrow democracy.Related: Ginni Thomas’ week is off to a terrible start and it’s only Monday“She’s an independent, adult woman, it just seems a little strange to me all of these calls for her husband to be what, like, minding her better?” the anti-LGBTQ senator said. “Frankly, I think it’s kind of misogynistic.”“She’s a private individual.
He’s a justice on the US Supreme Court. But I think this idea that he is somehow automatically responsible for everything he says–what does that mean?
Does she have to get his permission?”Just to be clear, nobody is calling on Ginni Thomas to get her husband’s “permission” for anything.
