'People should just tell the truth: 'This is the wrong black guy; he has to be destroyed,'' Thomas said in an upcoming documentary. 'Just say it. Then now we're at least honest with each other.'
Justice Clarence Thomas has strongly condemned the handling of his 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearing, led by then-Senator Joe Biden, and referred to liberals as"the biggest impediment.", the Supreme Court justice fired back at the 1991 Democrat-led Senate Judiciary Committee for their conduct during his confirmation process.
"I felt as though in my life I had been looking at the wrong people as the people who would be problematic toward me. We were told that, 'Oh, it's gonna be the bigot in the pickup truck; it's gonna be the Klansmen; it's gonna be the rural sheriff,'" Thomas, 71, said about the proceedings in the film, according to ABC News.
"But it turned out that through all of that, ultimately the biggest impediment was the modern day liberal," he added."They were the ones who would discount all those things because they have one issue or because they have the power to caricature you." The film, produced by Michael Pack and Manifold Productions, is reportedly set to be released in early 2020. Prior to the theatrical release date, ABC News were allowed an early screening. The publicist for Created Equal said the filmmakers conducted over 22 hours of interviews with Thomas over the span of six months in 2018.
Thomas also responded to the sexual misconduct allegations against him made by Anita Hill, an African-American professor who testified before the committee during his confirmation hearings 28 years ago. Thomas has previously unequivocally denied the allegations and continued to do so in the film.
