Wade. \u201cParty like it\u2019s 1959,\u201d Stern declared on his SiriusXM show, deriding the 6-3 decision as being backward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope they roll it all the way back to slavery and then they slap him on a plantation,\u201d stated the co-host Robin Quivers, who, like Thomas, is black. Both hosts emphasized that Thomas, a Republican nominee, is married to a white woman, which used to be illegal before the 1967 high court decision of Loving v. Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole mess we\u2019re in with that lightweight, Clarence Thomas, who\u2019s been sitting there like Darth Vader, dormant, waiting for other kooks to join the Supreme Court and waiting and waiting through the decades,\u201d Stern said.<\/p>\n<p>Stern, 68, joked that he would possibly run for president to abolish the Electoral College, noting that Democrat Hillary Clinton won more popular votes in the 2016 presidential election than Donald Trump. He said this enabled Trump to appoint &#8220;deranged&#8221; Supreme Court justices who make rulings contrary to the majority&#8217;s views.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is Trump\u2019s legacy. I hope he\u2019s happy. Back-alley abortions,\u201d Stern said. \u201cThe country is not bad. This Taliban government that has gotten in, is by the minority.\u201d Again, he apparently ignores that the Democrats control the White House and both chambers of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you want to start regulating the bedroom?\u201d Stern stated. \u201cWe were past all this and we still are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Stern has mentioned he may run for president (which appears unlikely, as he now complains incessantly about having to work 112 days a year). Last November, he proclaimed that he might do his &#8220;civic duty&#8221; and challenge former President Trump for the presidency in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2019I think I\u2019m going to run for president,\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/howard-stern-bashes-clarence-thomas-says-he-might-run-for-president\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he said with just the slightest hint of seriousness<\/a>,\u201d the Daily News reported back then. Quivers instantly backed his faux run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Trump decided to run again, you have to run against him. That\u2019s my plan,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s going to have to happen. We can\u2019t leave it to the Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clarence Thomas has received harassment from notable figures, but Joy Reid of MSNBC was bashing him back in March. During the third day of the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings, Joy Reid of MSNBC was enraged by Republicans questioning Supreme Court candidate Ketanji Brown Jackson.<\/p>\n<p>In the early 1990s, the far-left presenter referred to Republican members of the committee as &#8220;raging white senators&#8221; and also seized the occasion to disparage Justice Clarence Thomas, the nation&#8217;s only current Black member of the Supreme Court, by calling him &#8220;a creepy male candidate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In 2022, a Black woman federal judge appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee as the president&#8217;s candidate to the United States Supreme Court and is handled in the same heinous manner that Anita Hill was treated as a witness against a creepy male nominee in the 1990s. The United States of America, &#8220;Reid compared Jackson favorably to Hill, the woman who accused Thomas of sexual harassment during his confirmation hearings in 1991, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/joy-reid-belittles-justice-clarence-thomas-creepy-male-nominee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">story<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Reid&#8217;s quote exactly, as stated on Twitter, was: &#8220;A Black woman federal judge walks into a Senate Judiciary hearing as the president&#8217;s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022, and gets treated by raging white Senators the same sordid way Anita Hill was treated as a witness against a <a href=\"https:\/\/trendingviews.com\/joy-reid-creepy-male-nominee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">creepy male nominee in the 1990s.<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Radio host Howard Stern slammed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on June 27th and even threatened to seek the presidency after the decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v.
