« I come from regular stock, and I prefer that — I prefer being around that, » Clarence Thomas said in a 2020 documentary about his life.
Clarence Thomas once said he enjoys RV parks and Walmart parking lots over beaches in a documentary bankrolled in part by a GOP megadonor, who has reportedly treated the Supreme Court justice to luxury vacations around the world.
« I don’t have any problem with going to Europe, but I prefer the United States, and I prefer seeing the regular parts of the United States, » Thomas said in an interview for a 2020 documentary about his life titled, « Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words. »
« I prefer the RV parks. I prefer the Walmart parking lots to the beaches and things like that. There’s something normal to me about it, » Thomas continued, adding, « I come from regular stock, and I prefer that — I prefer being around that. »
The line from the documentary was resurfaced on Thursday by ProPublica in a bombshell report that revealed Thomas has been accepting luxury vacations from real estate magnate and Republican donor Harlan Crow for years without disclosing them.
