Eleven-term Congressman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) is not backing down from a radio interview in which he called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an “Uncle Tom.”
In a subsequent interview with CNN, Thompson told Dana Bash, “If you look at [Thomas’] decisions on the court, they have been adverse to the minority community, and the people I represent have a real issue with an African-American not being sensible to those issues.”
