Josh Hawley has finally broken his silence over the whole Ginni Thomas texting with ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about how they should overturn the 2020 presidential election results scandal and–surprise!–he thinks the whole thing is a misogynistic attack against… Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas? Huh?
Hawley went on CNN last night to express his outrage over people calling on Justice Thomas to recuse himself from any Supreme Court cases related to January 6 or the 2024 election after text messages revealed his wife took part in a perceived plot to overthrow democracy.

“She’s an independent, adult woman, it just seems a little strange to me all of these calls for her husband to be what, like, minding her better?” the anti-LGBTQ senator said. “Frankly, I think it’s kind of misogynistic.”
“She’s a private individual. He’s a justice on the US Supreme Court. But I think this idea that he is somehow automatically responsible for everything he says–what does that mean? Does she have to get his permission?”
Just to be clear, nobody is calling on Ginni Thomas to get her husband’s “permission” for anything. They’re calling on her husband not to oversee any cases in which his wife could be directly or indirectly involved to avoid any potential conflicts of interest. It has absolutely nothing to do with misogyny and everything to do with maintaining the integrity of the Supreme Court.
Also, since apparently it needs to be explained, according to the dictionary, the definition of “misogyny” is:
1. hatred, dislike, or mistrust of women, manifested in various forms such as physical intimidation and abuse, sexual harassment and rape, social shunning and ostracism, etc.
2. ingrained and institutionalized prejudice against women; sexism.
On Sunday, Amy Klobuchar went on ABC’s This Week to articulate the rationale being asking Justice Thomas to recuse himself from cases related to January 6 or the 2024 election.
“You have the wife of a sitting Supreme Court justice advocating for an insurrection, advocating for overturning a legal election, to the sitting president’s chief of staff,” she said. “And she also knows this election, these cases, are going to come before her husband. This is a textbook case for removing him, recusing him, from these decisions.”

Klobuchar also called out the Supreme Court for not putting out a statement on the matter, saying, “All I hear is silence from the Supreme Court right now. And that better change in the coming week because every other federal judge in the country except Supreme Court justices would have guidance from ethics rules that says you got to recuse.”
“The entire integrity of the court is on the line here.”
Here’s what people on Twitter are saying about Hawley’s “misogynistic” remarks…

Josh Hawley knows a thing or two about being misogynistic, but he’s wrong about this.

Misogynistic? Josh Hawley is suggesting that Justice Thomas was sparing Ginni’s delicate sensibilities?

1. I’m sure Josh Hawley knows what misogynistic means. According to Wiki, “Hawley graduated from Stanford University in 2002 and Yale Law School in 2006.” And he didn’t get into those universities with the help of affirmative action like Barack Obama and Judge Jackson did.
2. He has the highest approval ratings of any politician in Missouri, so he’ll win big in 2022. That God that moronic Democrat Claire McCaskill was defeated by him. She’s just an ugly old cow.
3. Ginni Thomas can say or do whatever she wants as she’s a private citizen. Period.
4. Red Tsunami coming in November. NBC Poll yesterday: Biden and the Democrats have the lowest approval ratings of any incumbent President or Congress in 40 years.,,71% of Americans believe Biden doesn’t know what he’s doing in the Ukraine crisis. Only 12% fully approve. 12%!!!! Biden’s overall approval rating is less than 40% and the Democrats in Congress: 22%.
5. These will destroy the Democrats in November: Ukraine crisis (World War pending), debacle in Afghanistan (Americans killed because of faulty and abrupt pull-out), highest inflation in 40 years, food shortages (Biden even said so), gas prices are surging, crime rates are soaring, homelessness is out of control, looting in the stores in major cities, Covid is on the rise again (though Biden said he’d eradicate it in his first 6 months), parents unhappy with mask mandates and lack of control over their kids’ education, Critical Race Theory is being forced down people’s throats, the wacky Left is running the Democrat Party into the ground. Very, very bad for Democrats.
6. Red Tsunami in November – bears repeating!
Bwahaha!!!

Thanks for your input Marcy Taylor Greene!

@M*ntalMayer, the ramblings of an insane….WTF do we identify you as?
A troll? Yes!
A trans woman? Fake!
A intelligent intellectual? No!
A very mentally challenged person? Yes!
Just FO!
And yes I get very crude and uncouth. Only when I deal with trailer trash.
Not wasting my time to even start responding or counter to the drivel posted by a unhinged right-wing nut case.
Polaro
Wow, Marcy, it really seems he does not know what misogyny means. I mean all you have to do is listen to him. And, no, anyone who knows anything about conflict of interest knows it includes close family. Period. As far as calling Claire names, we never thought of you as classy. Your red wave…we shall see. I think you traitors peaked early. Just what in your past turned you into such a toad?
BaltoSteve
Oh Marcy, what is this attraction you have with men who appear to think that people like you should be taken out to the middle of no where and left there to expire. Pumpkin, you really should unpack this with a therapist. This obsession with a Married Evangelical “Christian” male, about how hot he is, how much you want him between your legs, even though he thinks trans women aren’t even real human beings. Sweetie, this toxic cycle you have locked yourself into is a major cry for help. And you really should seek out a professional to aid you in understanding from where it all stems.
Den
You don’t actually think “marcy” is a Trans woman, do you? It is pretty obvious what he is, as obvious as his intellectual shortcomings and innate nastiness.
MarcyMayer
white-queer-african:
I never claimed to be an intellectual, but I’m clearly more intelligent than you.
You wrote in your response to me: “A intelligent intellectual?”
1. That doesn’t make sense because an intellectual by definition is intelligent.
2. The article “a” only appears before a word that begins with a consonant. You should put the article “an” before a word that begins with a vowel. Therefore, you should have written the article AN before the word intelligent.
I’m sure this grammar lesson went over your head.
Did you even graduate high school? I sincerely doubt it. Now, go back to where you were raised. Obviously it was in Soweto.
Bwahaha!!!

Cam/Den/BaltoSteve/Polaro/Eternal.Cowboy/white-queer-african:
Since you’re the same troll using different names:
You are an intellectually dishonest person. I admit that I’m wrong when I learn new facts, but, because your sexual identity trumps everything else, you find it impossible to be fair and objective.
Sad.
CNY1983
as you can see, no one agrees with you marcy, if I were you i’d beat it over to those republican orgies where theyre handing out cocaine before they start saying “MARCY WHO”
Bosch
Marcy, are you being paid to polarise the American people, or is this just a fetish?
Bosch
“I admit that I’m wrong when I learn new facts”
How many times have I pointed out to you that the Afghan withdrawal was trump’s doing?
BaltoSteve
Awww Pumpkin. Your projection is showing. Just because we don’t agree with you doesn’t mean we are all the same person. But it’s cute that you continue this charade even though we all know why you are here. Again Sweetling, I really think, if you don’t already have one, you should get a therapist to help you unpack all this toxic baggage and help you understand where all this negative energy is coming from. It would really help you. Especially with all this Manic rage you keep exhibiting.
The real Bruce
Oh Marcy! You have the nerve to call everyone who disagrees with you trolls. Really now, there aren’t enough bridges for all of your trolls to hide under! Blue wave will surely clean out all the Red Menace!

Josh Hawley? Didn’t he stage a protest in school by refusing to bus his lunch tray because it was beneath him and “that’s what janitors get paid to do”> ? He is scum in a suit and just another hate spreading white male who believes he is superior to anyone who is different.
It makes no sense to list Fox news talking points because we are all aware that they consist of either half truths or no truth at all.

The Supreme Court has become a joke. A sad dangerous joke, but a joke nevertheless.
We all know that he and a few others VOTE their politics, and don’t decide issues on their merit.
BaltoSteve
In all honesty, I do believe he know what the word means and intentionally misused it. It is part of the play book.. keep throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks. Whatever gains traction in conservative circles amplify that and try and turn it into a rallying point.

does that moron beef cake know what that word is meant for LOL, go look in the mirror bud, your a mans man, take care of the little women in the kitchen!! type

Have you seen how he kisses his wife? I’ve seen looser lips on a nun’s snatch!
Fname Optional Lname
If Clarence Thomas’ spouse was male and did/said all the same things Ginni has everyone would still believe he should recuse himself from cases involving the insurrection and many other cases that has the right farting blood on the daily. Misogyny is not the issue. It’s the hatred they both have in their hearts and the power that has consumed them

Last time I saw him he was running through the Capital building like his skirt was on fire.
