GINNI THOMAS PLANS NEW CONSERVATIVE SUPERGROUP TO “PROTECT PRESIDENT TRUMP”

Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, unveiled the new venture in a closed meeting of GOP lawmakers, donors, and Christian-right leaders last month, seeming to make reference to the movement disarray and electoral losses suffered by conservatives in the Trump era — and the gains made by left-wing groups and politicians.

“Our house is on fire and we are stomping ants in the driveway. We’re not really focused on the arsonists who are right around us,” Ginni Thomas said.

Some of the most controversial icons in conservative circles will be involved with other branches of Thomas’s new project, which is dubbed “Crowdsourcers.” One such project is titled “Protect Our Heroes,” led by conservative filmmaker and provocateur James O’Keefe.

The node of the project focused on political campaigns — slated to do business under the name “American D-Day” — will be set up by Cleta Mitchell, a well-known Republican campaign finance lawyer and partner at the law firm Foley & Lardner. D-Day will include a 501(c)(4) arm that can solicit undisclosed donations and a separate PAC registered with the Federal Elections Commission.

O’Keefe and Thomas did not respond to requests for comment. Mitchell, in response to an inquiry from The Intercept, wrote that it was not her “role to answer any questions on this. Sorry.” Asked who to contact about the new venture, Mitchell wrote, “No one. None of your business.”

THOMAS AND MITCHELL announced the suite of projects at an invite-only gathering hosted by the Council for National Policy in McLean, Virginia, in mid-May. The CNP meetings are influential and secretive gatherings designed to advance a hard-edged view of social and political causes.

At the CNP event, Thomas issued a dark warning about a “cultural revolution,” a confrontation conservatives might lose unless they “help explain to America the fight against America.”

[Mrs. Ted Nancy]

23. She used to be a democrat.

She was a state representative in Oklahoma. She ran for lieutenant governor and lost. I voted for her.

She had a short-lived marriage to a gay man. He later died from HIV related complications. She then married a republican. At the time of her second marriage, she joked that if she changed her last name to Mitchell then he would have to change his party affiliation to the democatic party. Unfortunately the opposite happened. I think she is a mean republican now. Sad.

32. She is beloved by the right while she is useful. After that, she will be the wife of a black man.

She is beloved by the right while she is useful.

After that, she will be the wife of a black man.

That's what the right sees.

[Thunderbeast]

33. There was a time

when this kind of corruption would be enough to start a serious conversation about impeachment of a SC justice. The courts have become another naked partisan playground to the GOP.

There is not equivalence from the left. Justices appointed by dems DO NOT play in the partisan sandbox.

[58Sunliner]

35. "help explain to America the fight against America" Will Russia be highlighted?
