McConnell blasts ‘clumsy bullying’ amid Thomas scrutiny

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday doubled down on his defense of Justice Clarence Thomas, blasting “clumsy bullying from the political branches” over Thomas’s handling of cases related to the 2020 presidential election.

McConnell’s comments come after days of criticism in the wake of reports that Ginni Thomas, Clarence Thomas’s wife, urged then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to move aggressively to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
