"Liberals have painful my life for 43 years, and I will also make their lives pain for 43 years."

In June 2003, Thomas raised objections to the Supreme Court's decision to maintain a equal rights bill, calling it a "cruel farce" and shame the blacks, suggesting that the group was successful because of the skin tone. In February 2014, Thomas said in a speech at Palm Beach Atlantic University: "I have received the worst treatment from liberal elites in the north."

At that time, Virginia also denied rumors that had asked her husband Thomas to participate in his political cause. However, it is reported that Thomas is the only one among the nine judges of the Supreme Court who supports Trump to propose to prevent the announcement of the White House record request.
