Pence defends Thomas and Alito amid ethics concerns: 'We're just looking at politics'

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who is running for president in 2024, defended Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito after allegations of ethical impropriety, saying, 'What we're seeing here is politics' at play.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who is running for president in 2024, defended Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito after allegations of ethical impropriety, saying,"What we're seeing here is politics" at play.

Pence accused such allegations against the justices as one-sided attempts to"bully" selective members of the Supreme Court despite other Democratic-appointed members having"some of the same issues come up" which have"never been raised." The issue surrounded a case in which the justices ruled 7-1 in favor of Singer, which resulted in a $2.5 billion payout to the billionaire.

“Judges are just like every other human being. We have a diverse group of friends, and those friends don’t influence the way we do our job,” Thapar told CNN.
