Whoopi Goldberg warned Justice Clarence Thomas about his marriage to his wife Ginni in the fallout of the Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, implying that conservatives would soon come after his interracial marriage by reversing Loving v. Virginia.
“You better hope that they don’t come for you, Clarence, and say you should not be married to your wife, who happens to be white, because they will move back,” Goldberg says on Monday’s ep of The View.
“And you better hope that nobody says, you know, well, you’re not in the Constitution. You’re back to being a quarter of a person.”
Thomas, widely regarded as the most conservative Judge on the Supreme Court, joined the majority opinion issued Friday that overturned the historic 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which established the constitutional right to obtain an abortion.
In 1987, Thomas married his wife, a reported right-wing activist. After highly publicized texts had shown his wife over and over again urging former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to repeal the election results, the justice has recently encountered calls to recuse himself from any cases relating to the Capitol riot and the 2020 presidential election.
