FACT CHECK: Did Keith Olbermann Demand Clarence Thomas Be Put in a Cage?
The summary deals with a misleading social media post claiming that commentator Keith Olbermann wanted Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to be placed “in a cage.” This allegation originated from a parody account, rather than being a genuine statement by Olbermann. Additionally, it touches on Justice Clarence Thomas disclosing two trips in 2019, accompanied by Harlan Crow, with one of the destinations being Bali.
A post shared on social media purports that commentator Keith Olbermann called for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to be “in a cage.”
The claim stems from a parody account.
Thomas disclosed two trips he took with Harlan Crow in 2019, one destination was Bali, CBS News reported. Justice Katanji Brown Jackson accepted concert tickets from Beyoncé and artwork for her chambers, all valued at thousands of dollars.
A post shared on Facebook allegedly shows an X post from Olbermann that compares Justice Thomas to a monkey. The post reads, “What’s the difference between Clarence Thomas and a monkey? Clarence Thomas actually belongs in a cage.”
The claim is inaccurate. The post stems from an Olbermann parody account. Their account’s bio-self identifies as parody saying, “Pounded a twink or six million. The king of the gays. Parody artist. If you fell for my bait, you owe me eight dollars.” The screenshot of the post does not identify it as a parody account.
