FLASHBACK: CLARENCE THOMAS CALLS SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM A ‘HIGH-TECH LYNCHING’

President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, is facing allegations of sexual misconduct in the 11th hour of his confirmation process. Similarly, Clarence Thomas faced allegations of sexual misconduct at the end of his confirmation hearing under George H. W. Bush.

Thomas continued, saying “the Supreme Court is not worth” what the allegations did to himself and his family: “No job is worth it.”

Thomas continued, calling the entire process a “high-tech lynching.”

“From my standpoint as a black American, as far as I’m concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who, in any way, deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S.— U.S. Senate, rather than hung from a tree.”READ MORE
