CBS News downplays racist remarks targeting Clarence Thomas made by a Black Attorney General.

Minnesota‍ Democratic‍ Attorney ⁢General ​Keith‍ Ellison has recently ⁤come ‍under fire‌ for ​his criticism‌ of Supreme ⁤Court‍ Justice Clarence Thomas

.‍ However, Ellison’s ‌comments took ‍a disturbing turn ⁢when he made​ a⁣ vile and ‌racist comparison,‌ likening‌ Thomas to ‍a “house⁣ slave.” ​Shockingly, ⁤CBS ‌News chose to ⁣cover ​Ellison’s⁤ criticism without acknowledging the​ racist ​attack.

Ellison,‌ who ‍is black ‌himself, suggested that Thomas, the⁢ second ⁣black justice ‍to‍ serve ‌on the Supreme ⁤Court, ‌was ‌complicit in suppressing the ​freedom of ​others, much like ‌a house slave ⁤who worked alongside‍ the slave master.

“Well, Clarence Thomas⁢ … all‍ you ‍got ​to …‍ anybody who’s watched the​ movie ‘Django,’ just watch‍ Stephen, and‍ you see ⁢Clarence ⁣Thomas,”⁢ Ellison said.⁤ “Clarence Thomas has​ decided​ that ‍his ⁢best personal‌ interests‌ lie with the ⁤powerful and⁢ the special interests, regardless‍ of ⁣who​ they may ​harm.”

​

GOP​ Rapid Response‍ Director ⁣Jake Schneider‍ shared a ⁣screenshot‍ of local CBS ⁢News affiliate WCCO’s coverage⁤ of ⁢Ellison’s⁤ remarks.‌ While the headline indicated ⁢criticism of Justice Thomas, there was no mention⁢ of⁤ the‍ racially⁣ charged‌ comparison ⁣Ellison had made.

“AG ⁤Ellison says Justice ​Clarence Thomas ⁣‘needs‍ to be impeached’ ​report says,”

Keith Ellison‍ compared Clarence Thomas‌ to⁢ a ‌house⁣ slave and this ⁣is how ⁤the Minnesota⁣ media ⁤decided ​to cover it.

“Not‌ even a mention ⁤of​ his​ disgusting remark,” Schneider ⁤commented.

“The ⁣left’s vile, vicious ​attempts to‌ smear Justice Thomas are utterly ‌transparent.‍ They just ⁢can’t stand ‍that he ​doesn’t share their radical orthodoxy,” observed ⁣Senator Ted Cruz‌ (R-TX) ⁣on Twitter.

‍

George⁣ Washington University⁢ law⁢ professor Jonathan ‌Turley⁣ also criticized Ellison for ‍his comments. He ⁣questioned‌ whether Democrats like‍ Ellison, ‍who ran on⁢ promises to ‌end hateful rhetoric, would hold⁣ themselves‍ accountable for ⁤their⁢ own divisive language.

…Putting aside his ⁢absurd claim​ that ​Thomas ⁢is ‌illegitimate ​because ‍Ellison‍ disagrees⁣ with‍ his rulings, Ellison ​portrayed him⁢ to⁤ a⁢ house slave because⁢ of his race.‍ He did not declare ‌Alito or​ Gorsuch as house slaves or illegitimate. Just‌ Thomas.

‌

Turley⁤ pointed‍ out that ⁢Ellison singled ‌out Thomas, the ⁣only black justice⁢ on the Supreme Court,‍ for‌ his racially‌ charged attack. This raises ⁢questions about ⁣Ellison’s motives⁤ and ⁣whether‌ he is truly ‌committed ⁣to combating​ hatred⁤ and bigotry.
