Justice Clarence Thomas accuser calls for his impeachment

One of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ sexual harassment accusers penned an op-ed calling for his impeachment from the bench.
Angela Wright-Shannon, a former Charlotte Observer editor, wrote in her HuffPost essay published Monday that Thomas should be brought to justice after multiple women had accused him of sexual harassment — including herself.
She previously claimed Thomas had asked her breast size and repeatedly pressured to date him when they both worked at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in the mid- 80s.
Wright says women of color have a tough time being heard when sharing their sexual harassment stories than white women.
“When the accusers are women of color, justice is not just delayed; it’s often denied outright,” she wrote.

“Even Anita Hill’s sophisticated demeanor and impressive standing as a professor of law didn’t shield her from being labeled “a little bit nutty, and a little bit slutty,’” Wright continued, referring to another Thomas accuser. “That’s been the cultural narrative about African-American women throughout history.”
Wright added that since a white woman — Moira Smith, a lawyer from Alaska — had accused Thomas of groping her nearly 20 years ago, there could be a chance of Thomas getting impeached.
That idea is highly unlikely but there’s hope amid the Me Too movement, she said.
“The Me Too movement has underscored the depth and breadth of sexual harassment in our society,” she wrote. “Finally, women are being heard and believed.”
