ROOKE: The Left’s Mad That Conservative Justices Aren’t Misogynists With Their Wives

The left has this idea that all conservative women are weak or meek and their husbands wholly “control” them, but Virginia ‘Ginni’ Thomas and Martha-Ann Alito crush these fantasies by proving to be neither.

It’s not just that the left believes The Handmaid’s Tale, a fictional story about male authoritarianism over women, is real; they are praying that it is because the wives of Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have minds of their own, and they want it to end.

Progressive hit pieces are nothing new for political conservatives. The Thomas family has been a favorite target for the leftist media regime to attack based on Ginni’s conservative political leanings. They want to destroy her in hopes that Justice Thomas would recuse himself from cases that involve anything related to former President Donald Trump or his supporters, including cases on the unconstitutional attacks against Jan. 6 prisoners.

Ginni and Thomas are an enigma to them, often leaving the elite media scratching their heads as to why the Supreme Court justice won’t back down. In their world, they can’t fathom a conservative marriage based on mutual respect or the possibility that the wives in these marriages would be allowed to have independent thought, political leanings or autonomy.

Their only view of marriage comes through the lens of feminism, which teaches that all conservative men keep their women controlled through emotional or physical abuse, while liberal men are betas in need of a strong girl-boss type woman to survive.

In this vein, likely because the attacks on the Thomas marriage aren’t bearing fruit, elite media have turned their eyes to the Alitos.

Martha-Ann, without the permission of her husband (gasp!), flew the American flag upside down after a spat with a progressive neighbor that went back for months, but because this also coincided with the Jan. 6 riot and Trump leaving office, they want to project her as a far-right activist. Martha-Ann is also responsible for flying the “Appeal to Heaven” flag outside the couple’s New Jersey beach home. The Washington Post, The New York Times and other members of the leftist media regime want Alito to denounce his wife’s actions and step down from important constitutional cases making their way to the Supreme Court.

Liberal journalist Lauren Windsor recently sought out Justice Alito’s wife, Martha-Ann, after it was revealed that Martha-Ann was the culprit for the flag “scandal.” Windsor, an executive producer for web show The Undercurrent, secretly recorded Martha-Ann, once and for all exposing the fact that she is *checks notes* a conservative.

In the recording, Martha-Ann doesn’t seem to be the least bit bothered by the attacks. She promises revenge on her family’s enemies. She tells a fascinating story about her battle with Robin Givhan of The Washington Post, where Givhan attacked conservative justices’ families’ outfit choices and won a Pulitzer Prize, but in the end, all it took was one well-timed phone call to make it all stop.

Her lines, “Don’t worry about it, baby” and “Don’t get angry. Get even,” are so iconic that the left could only dream of having someone like her fighting for their progressive causes.

But what she told Windsor about her resolve to win in the end will resonate with patriotic Americans who love their heritage and understand that family legacy plays a significant role in how you respond to vitriolic rage from the left.

Windsor: “They’re persecuting you, and you’re like a convenient stand-in for anybody who’s religious.”

Martha-Ann: “Look at me. Look at me. I’m German, from Germany. My heritage is German. You come after me. I’m gonna give it back to you. And there will be a way – it doesn’t have to be now – but there will be a way they will know. Don’t worry about it … Psalm 27 is my Psalm. Mine. Psalm 27, ‘the Lord is my God and my rock. Of whom shall I be afraid?’ Nobody.”

The recording doesn’t even come close to making Martha-Ann look deranged. Instead, she will become an icon for powerful conservative women. She doesn’t cower and accept defeat. She patiently awaits the perfect time to defend herself and her family.

The left wants their narrative that all conservative men control their women with an iron fist to be true. The fact that these justices honor their wives and allow them the freedom to be independent, confident women is a shock to their system. As if they really want to say: “Why aren’t you slapping your wife across the face and telling her to make you a sandwich already?!”

The hypocrisy is that if the progressive justices’ spouses were flying pride flags and demonizing conservative Christian values, the members of the press currently writing hit pieces against these women would be championing these spouses with flowery prose of praise about their compassion and bravery.

Ginni and Martha-Ann promote the same ideas the founding fathers did while writing the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. But to the left, these acts of patriotism and Christian ideals are sin that deserves a fate worse than death.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
