Chris Hayes Says Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Essentially Had ‘A Benefits Package’ From Right-Wing Movement | Video

A new report from ProPublica released this week revealed that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas privately lobbied for a higher salary, and MSNBC host Chris Hayes unpacked the findings in a segment that concluded Thomas essentially had “a benefits package” from right-wing benefactors.

“It really looked from afar, as I read all this reporting and we followed it here on the show, essentially like some sort of arrangement – I would have guessed implicit or tacit – had been worked out through these benefactors,” Hayes said as he unpacked the reporting. “Thomas could stay on the Court instead of jumping ship to a fancy corporate lawfirm for a big payday and still live a life of enormous luxury.”
