Hypocrisy from conservatives is...kind of the new normal.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas voted in a unanimous Supreme Court decision to overturn a bribery conviction against a former Virginia governor in 2016 while allegedly accepting luxurious vacations from a top Republican donor at the same time.
Thomas has faced increasing scrutiny recently after news broke regarding Thomas' wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas advocating for overturning the 2020 election results. The public has since called for his resignation, and in September, SCOTUS received its lowest approval rating among Americans according to a Gallup poll.
An April 6 report by the investigative journalism organization ProPublica alleging that Thomas had accepted extravagant trips with Republican donor Harlan Crow has intensified the scrutiny, with many ethics experts now questioning if Thomas acted poorly by accepting the gifts and neglecting to disclose them.
Hypocrisy from conservatives is...kind of the new normal.
