Minnesota Attorney General and former DNC Chairman Keith Ellison likened Clarence Thomas to a flattering slave in an interview Monday.

Ellison sat down with the Michigan Chronicle to discuss the Supreme Court’s recent decision to revoke race-based college admissions and Justice Thomas being impeached for his ties to Republican donor Harlan Crow. argued that it should.

“Harlan Crowe basically controls Clarence Thomas, [Justice Samuel] Alito and [Chief Justice John] The Roberts are both swimming in money from special interest groups, and as far as Judge Clarence Thomas is concerned, we may be able to set ethical standards for them to keep them from being bribed by apparently outside interest groups,” Ellison said. said Mr.

Ellison will play Samuel L. Jackson’s Stephen Justice in Quentin Tarantino’s 2012 film Django Unchained. Stephen is a loyal house slave who works with a villainous planter played by Leonardo DiCaprio to keep other slaves in check.

“Clarence Thomas, anyone who’s seen the movie Django, look at Stephen and you’ll recognize Clarence Thomas,” Ellison told anchor Andre Asch. “Clarence Thomas decided that it was in his best personal interest to gain power and special interests, regardless of who he was trying to harm. I care, I don’t care about you, but I’m in the Supreme Court, and it’s my job to care about you.” He therefore waives his responsibility. ”

“He gave up the job a long time ago. When he took office he was like this, he is like this now, maybe it’s worse now,” Ellison continued. “Therefore, Clarence Thomas needs to be impeached. Clarence Thomas is illegitimate and his work has no foundation. This is a lesson for us as African Americans. We all said, ‘He’s a black man who grew up in the deep south and he knows what racism and racism is and what affirmative action is. I thought it would come. Please understand that it is not a pigment issue. It’s not what’s on your skin that matters, it’s what’s in your heart. ” (Related: More black Americans support than against SCOTUS affirmative action ruling: poll)

In June, the Supreme Court ruled that college admissions based on race is unconstitutional. In his own opinion, Thomas lashed out at affirmative action, calling it “an affront to individual accomplishments and a cancer for the youth mind to overcome barriers.”

“It is an undeniable fact that whenever a government uses racial criteria to ‘unify races’, someone is excluded and the excluded person is injured simply because of their race.” wrote Thomas.
