Axios reports:
Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, attended the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the deadly riot at the Capitol, she said in an interview with The Washington Free Beacon. Thomas, a well-known conservative activist, said she attended the “Stop the Steal” rally held at the Ellipse in the morning, but got cold and left before Trump’s speech, where he told his supporters they should “fight like hell” to disrupt the electoral college vote count.
Thomas said that she “played no role with those who were planning and leading the Jan. 6 events … There are stories in the press suggesting I paid or arranged for buses. I did not. There are other stories saying I mediated feuding factions of leaders for that day. I did not.” The New Yorker and the New York Times Magazine both published stories alleging that Thomas had played a larger role in the Jan. 6 rally.
