Several news outlets falsely reported that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas had lunch with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis one day before he helped strike down Roe v. Wade.
Raw Story and the Independent published the reports, citing emails obtained by the American Oversight group.
The outlets said the emails showed Thomas, a George H.W. Bush appointee, and DeSantis, a Republican, dined on June 23, one day before Thomas and other justices struck down Roe v. Wade in their decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
But the emails actually showed Thomas and DeSantis met for lunch in 2021.
Raw Story corrected its story….
