Among the wave of retrospective accounts set to come out that year, 2016, was a… film dramatically recounting ’s allegations.

That spring, a flurry of op eds defending & railing against the film appeared in news outlets, penned by a DC atty who had worked in the George H.W. Bush WH during the confirmation. Websites celebrating Thomas’s career — & attacking his onetime accuser — popped up.

“On Oct. 15, 1991, secured his seat on the , a narrow victory after a bruising confirmation fight that left him isolated & disillusioned.”

(Ahem, old enough to remember that it was women who were the ones left feeling “isolated & disillusioned” post the Clarence Thomas confirmation.)

He abused her just like he abused decades ago.....I cannot STAND that horrible human!

Most of them. Same can be applied to most in Congress. But broke has its shades. was a GS-13 when he was discovered by Bush1. When he was appointed to the he had NO legal scholarship under his belt. Not even one stellar splinter coming out of the EEOC at a time when AA was all over the courts under EO 11246 or DOE. He was too busy harassing . He was Negro broke, understanding that he wasn't a Black man.

When Women Speak, Listen

Had people simply LISTENED to these two women — Anita Hill and Hillary Clinton — and TRUSTED them, our democracy and its judicial system wouldn’t be the shit shows that they are today, in great part, due to the self-serving misdeeds of morally bankrupt Clarence Thomas and Donald J. Trump.

Justice Clarence Thomas:

Remember way back, when — like the crass cur you are — you asked Anita Hill, “Who has put pubic hair on my Coke?”

I’ve been reading and watching the news lately, and I’ve figured out where that pubic hair on your can of Coke came from. It was Harlan Crow’s. Yeah, I know: you knew that before you even asked Ms. Hill. Shame on you.

I think about a fair amount, especially now. But also, I used to dog walk by her former house every day. She was right, and I still get really angry thinking about how she was treated.

"One of the oddest episodes I remember was an occasion in which Thomas was drinking a Coke in his office, he got up from the table at which we were working, went over to his desk to get the Coke, looked at the can and asked, 'Who has put pubic hair on my Coke?'"

re Clarence Thomas

Clarence Thomas is the “pubic hair” on the “Coke can” of American jurisprudence.

@DaveRussell Those of us who knew Clarence Thomas was a scumbag during his confirmation hearings in the early 90's () are now vindicated.
