Ginni Thomas. She is another Karen.

Virginia "Ginni" Lamp Thomas (born February 23, 1957), is an American attorney and lobbyist who founded Liberty Consulting. She had previously founded the conservative advocacy group Liberty Central, and served as its president until its merger with the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty.[1] She writes columns for The Daily Caller and previously worked at The Heritage Foundation.

She is the wife of U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas. Her lobbying activities have been raised as a potential source of conflict of interest for her husband.[2][3]

Saying she is batshit crazy would be polite.

2009–present
In late 2009, Thomas started a nonprofit lobbying group, Liberty Central, to organize conservative activists, issue score cards for Congress members, and be involved in elections.[28] The group is aimed at opposing what Thomas has called the leftist "tyranny" of President Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats and "protecting the core founding principles" of the nation.[29] Thomas was interviewed by Sean Hannity on his Fox News show Hannity in June 2010. When asked about potential conflicts between her Liberty Central activities and her husband's position, Thomas replied, "there's a lot of judicial wives and husbands out there causing trouble. I'm just one of many."[30]

In February 2011, Politico reported that Thomas was the head of a new company, Liberty Consulting, which filed incorporation papers in mid-November 2010. The company's website states that clients can use Thomas's "experience and connections" to help "with "governmental affairs efforts" and political donation strategies.[31] The Washington Post described Liberty Consulting as "a one-woman shop" where Thomas advised political donors how to direct funds in the post-Citizens United landscape.[32]

In July 2013, Thomas was identified as a key member of Groundswell, a coalition of right-wing activists and journalists attempting to make political change behind the scenes through lobbying of high-level contacts.[33]

Thomas endorsed Ted Cruz in the 2016 Republican primaries.[32] After Cruz dropped out, she supported Donald Trump.[32]

Thomas serves on the advisory council of Turning Point USA.[34][35]

Thomas has stirred controversy due to her inflammatory political rhetoric and promotion of conspiracy theories. In 2018, she shared Facebook posts that characterized California as a war zone, alleged voter fraud by Democrats in four elections, described the teenage survivors of the Parkland shooting "dangerous to the survival of our nation" (because they advocated for gun control) and accused President Obama and Hillary Clinton of being involved in wiretapping then-candidate Donald Trump. In 2017, she held a speech saying the left wants "to extinguish our rights," that the left "moves its forces across our country," and that the NFL was "mainstreaming anti-Americanism" because some NFL players kneeled during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial discrimination. She harshly criticized Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell as "useful idiots" for "LiberalFascists" because they did not condemn violence on the left during the violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. She has made videos for the Daily Caller where she wondered whether "cultural Marxists have already won in our country."[32]

On February 23, 2020, Axios reported that right-wing activists had compiled the names of individuals who were deemed to be disloyal to President Donald Trump into a list. As the leading figure in a right-wing network that works to recommend people as staffers at the White House, the article stated that Thomas had been advising Trump to purge the "snakes" who were disloyal to him from the government. It was revealed that she had directly sent a memo to Trump directly in the preceding year and a personnel office for the president had deemed some of her suggestions to be inappropriate candidates as White House faculty. After Trump was acquitted by Senate in his trial of impeachment, it was alleged that Trump would revisit some of her recommendations in subsequent pursuit of vengeance against those who testified against him throughout his impeachment.[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]

On May 28, 2020, Trump appointed Thomas as a member of the trust fund board of the Library of Congress.[44][45]

In October, 2020, shortly before the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, Thomas advanced the conspiracy theory via social media that George Soros "is really running the Democratic Party." Haaretz, The Jerusalem Post, and The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that "Republican officials and activists, as well as far-right extremists and conspiracy theorists, regularly assert with scant or no evidence that he is secretly funding, or in control of, a broad array of liberal causes, or otherwise out to undermine the United States government." And, that "[t]he idea that rich Jews are conspiring to secretly control world leaders is an age-old anti-Semitic stereotype."[46][47][48]
