This week, however, has seen the return of the \u201cUncle Tom\u201d attack.<\/p>\n<p>The Georgia Senate passed successfully Tuesday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.ga.gov\/legislation\/63890\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SB 69<\/a>The bill, if it is approved by both the Republican Governor and the state House, would allow for the placement of a monument to Thomas on the grounds of the state capitol. Brian Kemp would permit the installation of a Thomas monument on the grounds at the state capitol. In remarks to his colleagues, bill sponsor and GOP Sen. Ben Watson spoke to Thomas\u2019 character and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/dem-compares-clarence-thomas-uncle-tom-georgia-senate-approves-statue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">praised<\/a> Living a good life is justice \u201cmarked by tremendous achievement,\u201d saying:<\/p>\n<p>This Georgia native son deserves to be honored on Capitol grounds. It is a place where future generations can learn valuable lessons and feel inspired and believe that their lofty dreams can be realized in America regardless of where they were born.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the upper chamber\u2019s Democrat members couldn\u2019t have been less enthused. Not only did every single Democrat senator vote against the bill, but several of them used the opportunity to slander the Supreme Court\u2019s most senior justice. <\/p>\n<p>While some Democrats such as Sen. Nan Orrock went after Thomas\u2019 judicial career by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox5atlanta.com\/news\/clarence-thomas-statue-backed-by-republicans-in-georgia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Calling<\/a> his service on the nation\u2019s highest court \u201cproblematic,\u201d The comments of leftist hackers like Sen. Emanuel Jones, however, were more venomous. Jones made a snide reference to Thomas, the second African American to be on the Supreme Court. \u201cUncle Tom,\u201d He said that he had betrayed \u201chis own community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just trying to tell you what we have in the African American community when we talk about a person of color that goes back historically to the days of slavery and that person betraying his own community \u2014 we have a term in the black community,\u201d Jones said. \u201cThat term that we use is called \u2018Uncle Tom.\u2019 An Uncle Tom \u2026 talks about a person who back during the days of slavery sold his soul to the slave masters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">One lawmaker uninformed compared Clarence Thomas to an ant. \u201cUncle Tom\u201d Who \u201csold his soul to the slave masters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can see the hatred and radicalism displayed by the far-Left. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dt1F7bYzoJ\">pic.twitter.com\/dt1F7bYzoJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kelly Loeffler (@KLoeffler) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KLoeffler\/status\/1625612094367211525?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 14, 2023<\/a> A Pattern of Racist Attacks  <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Jones\u2019 Tuesday rant is just the tip of the iceberg. Over the years, so called &#8220;&#8221; \u201cprogressive\u201d Democrats have launched a barrage against Thomas because he dares to think for himself.<\/p>\n<p>During a 2014 interview, for instance, Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi didn\u2019t just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/andrewkaczynski\/democratic-congressman-makes-shocking-racial-comments-about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call<\/a> Thomas \u201cUncle Tom\u201d; he also claimed the justice \u201cdoesn\u2019t like black people\u201d  \u201cdoesn\u2019t like being black.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just Democrat politicians lobbing racist insults at Thomas. Joy Reid, MSNBC host and a prominent member of legacy media, has also joined the smear campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No matter what the left throws at him, Clarence Thomas will be remembered as one of the greatest Supreme Court justices in U.S. history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":539,"featured_media":1849421,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[10217,18810,5965,4185,18809,14989,10215,8081,9960,4324],"class_list":["post-1849418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-clarence","tag-dim","tag-leftists","tag-legacy","tag-regurgitate","tag-smear","tag-thomas","tag-tom","tag-uncle","tag-wont"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/539"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1849418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1849418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1849421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1849418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1849418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1849418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
