The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas urged 29 Republican lawmakers in Arizona to “choose” new electors to reverse former President Donald Trump's loss, according to a new report.
Virginia "Ginni" Thomas sent identical emails to 22 members of the state House and seven members of the state Senate urging them to"stand strong in the face of political and media pressure" and choose a"clean slate of Electors," according to emails obtained by the Washington Post. Previous reports indicated Thomas had only emailed two Arizona House members.
The November emails, sent just days after President Joe Biden was declared the winner of the state’s popular vote, told the state legislators their responsibility to choose electors, which is enshrined under state law, is “yours and yours alone,” the outlet said. Thomas again emailed 22 state House members and one state senator on Dec. 13, 2020, one day before Electoral College members were slated to cast their votes declaring Biden’s victory, the report added.
“Before you choose your state’s Electors … consider what will happen to the nation we all love if you don’t stand up and lead,” the email reportedly said.Reports of Thomas’s email touting claims of fraud in the 2020 election have prompted widespread concerns among Democratic lawmakers, who have suggested a major conflict of interest stemming from her dual roles as conservative activist and wife of a Supreme Court justice.
