Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York reiterated on Sunday her call for the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas following revelations that he didn't disclose several luxury trips subsidized by a Republican megadonor.
House Oversight and Accountability Committee member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., speaks as a tweet is displayed behind her during a hearing on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2023, in Washington.
"I believe that we should pursue the course. And if it is Republicans that decide to protect those who are breaking the law, then they are the ones who then are responsible for that decision," she said of the House GOP majority, which would be unlikely to pursue such an investigation. "But we should not be complicit in that."
Thomas said Friday that he did not disclose the luxury travel because he was advised at the time that he did not have to report it.sent via the Supreme Court's public information office, Thomas said that the trips he and his wife, conservative activist Ginni Thomas, took with the Crows were the "sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends" that he was advised did not require disclosure.
