Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' dissent in a Pennsylvania GOP election lawsuit has prompted critics to call for his wife Virginia "Ginni" Thomas to be investigated on Monday.
Ginni's past comments were put under the social media spotlight shortly after her husband's dissent, with many citing a pair of January 6 Facebook posts in support of the "Stop the Steal" rally seeking to overturn the election outcome in favor of former President Donald Trump. Although spouses of Supreme Court justices typically avoid politics, Ginni Thomas has frequently expressed her opinions in public.
The posts were captured by Slate reporter Mark Joseph Stern before being deleted from the internet. One featured Thomas commenting "LOVE MAGA people!!!" while sharing a link to a video stream of the demonstration before it turned violent, while the other saw her comment "GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU STANDING UP or PRAYING!" Social media calls to investigate Thomas over unsubstantiated allegations that she was connected to the riot quickly followed her husband's dissent.
