To the editor: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas had for years accepted lavish gifts from billionaire conservative donor Harlan Crow (one of his “dearest friends” whom he did not meet until he was appointed to the court) and failed to report them. the same. (“Judge Clarence Thomas condemns his critics, calls Washington a 'dreadful place,'” May 11)
His wife, Ginni Thomas, fought aggressively to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election claiming they were stolen, and continues to do so.
These are not “lies.” They are facts.
Thomas calling them lies is no different than shouting “fake news” and tells us everything we need to know about this ethically corrupt and intellectually lying man.

To the editor: I was very sad to read how unhappy Thomas is in Washington. Having one's honor and reputation attacked is certainly a terrible thing; Ask Joe and Hunter Biden.
I was surprised to read that Thomas likes to be with “normal people.” Who knows? If everyday people are your problem, why would you vote against protecting their voting rights and their ability to decide about their own bodies?
I have some advice for him though. If you want help repairing his reputation in Washington and elsewhere, perhaps you could recuse yourself from the presidential immunity case. After all, Ginni Thomas has claimed for years that the last presidential election was corrupt. That may be a conflict of interest.
My other advice is to follow Harry Truman's suggestion and get a dog if you want to have a friend in Washington.
