A former House GOP lawmaker says Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should be removed from the bench over his “unethical” behavior and taunted people to challenge him.
“Come at me. I got receipts,” Denver Riggleman posted to X, calling Thomas’ wife, Ginni Thomas, “disturbed.”
Riggleman posted in response to a clip of Donald Trump saying at a rally that “people should be put in jail for the way they talk about our judges and justices.”
“Clarence Thomas is, at the least, unethical. Should be removed from the bench. His wife, Ginni Thomas, is disturbed. Come at me. I got receipts.” Riggleman said.

Riggleman was a senior technical adviser for the January 6th committee that investigated the deadly insurrection that saw a mob of mostly Trump supporters overrun the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
In other words, he was the person who collected and analyzed the data collected from cell phones and other devices.
The committee heard from Ginni Thomas in 2022 after it was unearthed she sent weeks of text messages imploring White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to act to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The 29 messages the pair exchanged came in the weeks after the vote in November 2020, when Trump and his top allies were still saying they planned to go to the Supreme Court to have its results voided.
The Post reported that on Nov. 10, three days after the election and after The Associated Press and other news outlets declared Democrat Joe Biden the winner, Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist, texted to Meadows: “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.”
Clarence Thomas, meanwhile, has been ensnared in controversy for failing to report luxury trips paid by Republican megadonor Harlan Crow.
Crow also purchased the house in Georgia where Clarence Thomas’s mother continues to live and paid for two years of private school tuition for a child raised by Thomas and his wife.

What really sucks here is that in order to really nail the treasonous and corrupt justices, congresspeople, and other high power interlopers, you have to have not only a President willing to appoint the right people to take them down, but a majority in congress ready to enforce the laws and the constitution on these people. We need a lot of people to wake up very fast and get to work un-fucking our country, because the other side has gone mask-off now. They're being openly corrupt, talking openly about steamrolling the public to get what they want, for the big money influencers that pay them to be fucking traitors and wage enslavers of the American people. Those are inflammatory words, I know, but we are dealing with inflammatory assholes here that need to be ejected from power yesterday. This is America. We of all peoples in the world should not be the ones to tolerate allowing the snakes to continue surrounding the nest.
What most people aren't getting here is that we are far beyond liberal and conservative viewpoints now (though the people causing the issues are using the guise of conservativism to achieve their goals, as has been modeled for them in the past.) There are people in our government right now that have allowed their power to be bought, and sought to seize power for themselves despite the will of the majority for them to be voted out of office. The actions they are taking and have taken in those pursuits alone is enough for the people to demand their power stripped from them and given to new representatives that will protect us from foreign governments, corporations, and individuals seeking to usurp the power of the American proletariat. We should be demanding now that all of those be cut out of our government and we should continue to weed them out far more aggressively going forward, no matter the political philosophy.
