Clarence Thomas' wife Ginni Thomas recently came under fire for allegedly sending text messages to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows requesting him to help overturn the results of the 2020 United States presidential election.
As per information obtained by The Washington Post and CBS, more than two dozen text messages were exchanged between Thomas and Meadows between November 2020 and January 2021. In one of the texts sent on November 10, 2020, Thomas wrote:
“Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!… You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America’s constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History.”
Certain text messages also showed Thomas referring to certain QAnon-related conspiracy theories and even accusing President Joe Biden and his family of alleged ballot fraud.
Other messages also revealed Thomas’ opinions of conservative commentators and lawyers, including Sidney Powell.
The messages came to light after Meadows handed around 2,320 texts to the House committee as part of the investigation into the January 6 US Capitol attack.

As reactions continue to pour in online, it remains to be seen if Ginni Thomas will acknowledge the issue in the days to come. So far, the attorney has maintained her silence on the situation.
Virginia “Ginni” Thomas is an American attorney and the founder of Liberty Consulting. She was born on February 23, 1957, in Omaha, Nebraska to Marjorie and Donald Lamp. Thomas grew up with a deep interest in politics influenced by her Republican parents.
She attended Westside High School in Omaha and became part of its student government, Republican club and debate club. Thomas moved to Virginia to attend a woman’s college before enrolling at the University of Nebraska.
The Omaha-native finally earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and business communication from Creighton University in 1979 and also received a Juris Doctor from Creighton University School of Law in 1983.

She started working as an attorney and labor relations specialist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1985.
The attorney continued in her role for three years before being appointed the manager of employee relations in 1989. She also tied the knot with U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas in 1987.
The 65-year-old returned to government service in 1991 and began working in the Legislative Affairs Office of the U.S. Department of Labor. She then took up the role of policy analyst for House Republican Conference chairman Dick Armey.
