After days of declining to elaborate on Clarence Thomas' condition, the Supreme Court announced on Friday that doctors had discharged the 73-year-old associate justice from a Washington, D.C. hospital.
Thomas checked into Sibley Hospital last Sunday, where he was diagnosed with an infection and treated with intravenous antibiotics.
A Court spokesperson clarified on Monday that Thomas did not have COVID-19.
As Voice of America reports:
Thomas' release comes as his wife, conservative activist Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, finds herself mired in controversy regarding the 2020 U.S. presidential election and former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Late Thursday, The Washington Post and CBS News released weeks of text messages from 2020 that were reportedly sent from Virginia Thomas to then Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, urging him to work to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The series of texts – 29 in all – were sent beginning November 10, 2020, three days after the election.
Among the messages Virginia Thomas texted to Meadows was one that read, “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.”
I hope Justice Thomas tells the LEFT & the DEMOCRAPS to go to H!!! Don’t pass go but to go directly!!! The Justice has NOT done anything wrong! The SWAMP WANT THE JUSTICE OUT so they can’t appoint one of their own & the SWAMP WILL STINK UP THE SUPRENE COURT WITH THEIR LIBERALS!!!! So Justice Thomas tell the damn bunch to ho to H!!l.
That election should be overturned! There was massive fraud perpetrated. Virginia Thomas is exactly correct! And if it had been a fair election we wouldn’t have to be putting up with the disgraceful man in the oval office presently. He’s embarrassing all of us on the world stage!
