Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Criticizes Justice Clarence Thomas for Comments on Race-Based College Admissions<\/h2>\n<p>During a recent interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) expressed her disagreement with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas&#8217; remarks regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/attorney-supreme-court-has-historic-opportunity-to-end-race-based-college-admissions\/\" title=\"Attorney: Supreme Court Has \u2018Historic Opportunity\u2019 To End Race-Based College Admissions\">race-based college admissions<\/a>. Ocasio-Cortez described Thomas&#8217; comments as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ocasio-cortez-it-is-profoundly-disrespectful-for-clarence-thomas-to-say-blacks-are-not-victims\/\" title=\"Ocasio-Cortez: Clarence Thomas' Denial of Black Victimization Is 'Deeply Disrespectful'\">profoundly disrespectful<\/a>&#8221; towards his colleague.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion arose from Justice Thomas&#8217; concurrence with the Court&#8217;s ruling that race-based college admissions are illegal. In his statement, Thomas argued against the notion that all blacks should be labeled as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fmr-dem-recalls-leaving-party-blames-party-policy-for-hurting-black-americans\/\" title=\"Fmr.

He emphasized that individual achievement should not be overshadowed by race.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez criticized Thomas&#8217; words, suggesting that they were a result of an inferior or poorly thought-out stance. She found his comments insulting and believed that they revealed his character and worldview.<\/p>\n<h3>Justice Thomas&#8217; Statement:<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Justice Jackson uses her broad observations about statistical relationships between race and select measures of health, wealth and well-being to label all blacks as victims. Her desire to do so is unfathomable to me. \u2026 It is an insult to individual achievement and cancerous to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/clarence-thomas-blasts-ketanji-brown-jacksons-racist-worldview-cancerous-to-young-minds\/\" title=\"Clarence Thomas criticizes Ketanji Brown Jackson's 'racist' worldview as harmful to young minds.\">young minds seeking<\/a> to push through barriers. \u2026 Their race is not to blame for everything \u2014 good or bad \u2014 that happens in their lives.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s response to Thomas&#8217; statement:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, what Justice Clarence Thomas wrote there, I believe, is profoundly disrespectful to his colleague. I think it&#8217;s profoundly insulting. And I think that he really demonstrated his character, frankly, and his worldview in that critique himself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the interview below:<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
