Leftists have for days hurled racist slurs and insults at Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, but a friend of his says the conservative jurist isn’t interested in their opinions.
Mark Paoletta, co-editor of “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words” (2022), blamed the racially charged invective aimed at Justice Thomas following the Dobbs v. Jackson decision on left-wing racism.
Why target Justice Thomas? “Because the left is racist, Tucker,” said Mr. Paoletta on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
Mr. Paoletta, a lawyer who worked on the jurist’s 1991 Supreme Court confirmation process, was identified as a “close friend” of Justice Thomas.
