Clarence Thomas, after criticism for taking luxury trips from a GOP donor without reporting them, says he and his wife face 'nastiness and lies.'
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas told attendees at a judicial conference Friday that he and his wife have faced “nastiness' and 'lies” over the last several years and decried Washington, D.C., as a “hideous place.” Thomas spoke at a conference attended by judges, attorneys and other court personnel in the 11th Circuit Judicial Conference, which hears federal cases from Alabama, Florida and Georgia.
During his hourlong appearance, the longest-serving justice on the court discussed a wide range of topics including the lessons of his grandfather, his friendship with former colleagues and his belief that court writings and discussions should be more accessible for “regular people.” Thomas, who spent most of his working life in Washington, D.C., also discussed his dislike of it. “I think what you are going to find and especially in Washington, people pride themselves on being awful.
