In a Facebook post Wednesday, hours before rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol building, Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a message in support of rioters which has since been deleted.
The messages from Thomas wrote, “GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF YOU STANDING UP or PRAYING!” which was preceded by a message saying ‘LOVE MAGA.”
The two posts were removed from her account, but it is not clear if Thomas deleted them willingly, or they were removed by Facebook. She has not posted to her account since Wednesday.
