Tea party activist Virginia “Ginni” Thomas is joining the media, just not the “mainstream media” she’s described as dedicated to “gotcha journalism” and “lapdogs for the other side.”Rep. Weiner has been demanding that Justice Thomas recuse himself from any Obamacare cases because of his wife's lobbying work. With Ginni joining the conservative website Daily Caller, Weiner will probably end up in the fetal position in full thumb-sucking mode.
The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will work as a special correspondent for The Daily Caller, the conservative news website announced Tuesday. “It is a privilege to join such a fast-growing platform with a capable, fun-loving team who are filling a niche that the dinosaur media has underserved,” Thomas said in a statement.
She will interview political and community leaders ranging from grassroots activists to top politicians, the site said in a statement. Her focus will be “on listening to those outside the Beltway.”
Though Thomas has spent much of her career working as a congressional staffer and a political operative, she has come into the public eye in the last few years as she’s become an outspoken advocate for the tea party movement. She founded Liberty Central, a group that quickly became influential in part because of Thomas’s husband’s high profile. Thomas stepped away from the group late last year, before launching a lobbying firm, Liberty Consulting. The Daily Caller did not say whether she would continue her lobbying work.
Joining Daily Caller is a nice "in-your-face" to Thomas' critics.
