Left, media's racial attacks on Clarence Thomas spark bipartisan rebuke
Fox News
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to formally condemn racist attacks against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas from Democrat lawmakers and progressive pundits.
That amendment, eventually voted through by every Republican and Democrat on the committee, states that Congress "condemns all racial attacks and comments leveled against any current or former Supreme Court Justice, including Justice Thomas, including those likening him to an 'Uncle Tom' figure or any other repugnant stereotype…" Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
The amendment details those comments recently made by Minnesota Democratic Attorney General Keith Ellison, who last week went on a racially charged rant comparing Thomas to a house slave character in Quentin Tarantino’s 2012 film "Django Unchained."
