Former NBA player and social media personality Rex Chapman went on a tirade against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, sending a barrage of tweets about mixed-race couples and basketball.

Chapman, who was arrested in 2014 for shoplifting at an Apple Store in Arizona, shared a clip of Hillary Clinton’s recent CBS Morning appearance. The former secretary of state said Thomas has been a “person of grievance” for as long as she could remember.

“Mitch McConnell has had Clarence Thomas doing his bidding for years now. Mitch has been a senator in Kentucky since I was a high school junior. 16-years old. I’m 54 now. Look up Daniel Cameron. He’s next in Mitch’s world to succeed Clarence Thomas,” Chapman tweeted.

He then responded to his tweet with four photos, two showing Thomas and his wife, who is white, and the other two photos showing Republican Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron and his wife, who is also white.

Chapman also shared a video from a 2018 graduation video showing Christendom College students, noting “not another person of color in the picture.”

Chapman then went on a tangent about how “Clarence Thomas would last 20-30 seconds in an NBA locker room” and asked “Why have you never seen Clarence Thomas at an NBA game? As in – ever?”

“Bill Clinton used to come to our games in Landover with the Bullets. Clarence Thomas – never,” Chapman added(RELATED: False Story Spreads On Social Media Of White Police Officer Planting Evidence In Black Man’s Car At Traffic Stop)
