Maine GOPer behind dumping Trump calls out Clarence Thomas and his wife

Appearing on CNN the morning after the Maine secretary of state booted Donald Trump off of the state's ballot for leading an insurrection on Jan. 6, a former Republican state senator who helped lead the effort applauded her work — and then had a few words to say about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni.

Speaking with CNN's Erika Hill, ex-Sen. Thomas Saviello (R) admitted the Supreme Court will have to ultimately rule on the decisions now made by both Maine and Colorado to cite the Constitution's 14th Amendment and keep the former president off the ballot.

It was toward the end of the interview when he took aim at Justice Thomas, stating the jurist should recuse himself from taking part in what will be a historic ruling.

"When you look at this, given the makeup of the Supreme Court, what is your gut on what could happen?" the CNN host prompted.
