Ginni Thomas joins The Daily Caller

Tea party activist Virginia “Ginni” Thomas is joining the media, just not the “mainstream media” she’s described as dedicated to “gotcha journalism” and “lapdogs for the other side.”

The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas will work as a special correspondent for The Daily Caller, the conservative news website announced Tuesday. “It is a privilege to join such a fast-growing platform with a capable, fun-loving team who are filling a niche that the dinosaur media has underserved,” Thomas said in a statement.

Tucker Carlson, the site’s co-founder and editor, told POLITICO that Thomas’s position will be part time, beginning in “days or weeks” and will focus on “identifying and interviewing people who might in the future become influential in politics or who are already influential but who you may not know about.”

Carlson said Thomas “knows a ton of people” and likened her presence at the publication to “a dinner party formula: If you get a lot of interesting people with varied experiences and backgrounds and points of view and put them in one place, they’re apt to provide a pretty interesting evening.”

Though Thomas has spent much of her career working as a congressional staffer and a political operative, her professional activity has drawn recent criticism from the left as she’s become an outspoken advocate for the tea party movement. She founded Liberty Central, a nonprofit group that attracted attention — and funding — in part because of Thomas’s husband’s high profile. Thomas stepped away from the group late last year, before launching a lobbying firm, Liberty Consulting.
