Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been accused of being involved in a political scandal after it was revealed that he had a long-time friendship with Harlan Crow, a wealthy Texas real-estate developer, who has given gifts to Thomas, including trips on Crow's private plane and yacht, and vacation stays at his property in the Adirondacks. The left-leaning website ProPublica reported on this alleged controversy which has raised concerns and prompted calls for investigations into Clarence Thomas’s conduct. Moreover, reports by the Washingtonian indicate that Crow owns a collection of Hitler memorabilia, which has raised further suspicions. However, Clarence Thomas denied any wrongdoing and said that he has always sought to comply with disclosure guidelines, and that he did not have to report the gifts as they constituted personal hospitality. The controversy has been blown out of proportion to tarnish Justice Thomas’s reputation and damage the Supreme Court's credibility. Furthermore, this controversy is part of the left's campaign to undermine the Supreme Court and force leftist agendas by resorting to any means necessary.
