Earlier this week, Alabama State Rep. Alving Holmes, D-Montgomery, said on the floor of the Alabama House of Representatives that he does not like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas because he’s married to a white woman, then went on to call him an “Uncle Tom.”
Numerous conservative national media outlets picked up on Holmes’ comments, but as usual, the liberal media ignored them.
