<p>Republican donor Harlan Crow fired back at critics in a new interview, defending his long friendship with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and the hospitality he&#8217;d shown him over the years.</p>
<p>Crow told <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2023/04/17/harlan-crow-theres-nothing-wrong-with-my-friendship-with-clarence-thomas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Dallas Morning News</a> that media reports accusing Thomas of unethical behavior — specifically because the justice had not disclosed hospitality extended to him by Crow — had an obvious political slant. He also said that Thomas had never asked him for any of the things he had given, adding that it was &#8220;no different from the hospitality we have extended to our many other dear friends.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it’s a political hit job. I don’t think the media cares really much about Harlan Crow, and I think they’re right. They shouldn’t care much about Harlan Crow,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But I think that the media, and this ProPublica group in particular, funded by leftists, has an agenda to destabilize the [Supreme] Court. What they’ve done is not truthful. It lacks integrity. They’ve done a pretty good job in the last week or two of unfairly slamming me and more importantly than that, unfairly slamming Justice Thomas.&#8221;</p>
<p>Crow went on to assert that while he and Thomas did hold differing opinions on some topics, he had never attempted to use their friendship to influence the justice&#8217;s decisions. Interviewer Cheryl Hall asked whether Crow thought the two would still be friends if Thomas were not a Supreme Court justice — and his response was candid: &#8220;It’s an interesting, good question. I don’t know how to answer that. Maybe not. Maybe yes. I don’t know.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hall also asked Crow about his <a href="https://www.washingtonian.com/2023/04/07/clarence-thomass-billionaire-benefactor-collects-hitler-artifacts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">collection</a> of <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/14/opinion/harlan-crow-clarence-thomas-gifts-collections.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">historical artifacts</a> — which came up in several media reports that attempted to paint him as a Nazi sympathizer — and Crow argued that an accurate picture of history had to include both the good and the bad.</p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;We have a lot on slavery. Slavery was a great evil in American history. There’s a lot more about Frederick Douglass here than there is about the bad guys of slavery. You can’t have a library and talk about that without including the bad,&#8221; Crow explained, adding, &#8220;So yeah, World War II was a fairly big event in American history. We have a bunch of stuff about World War II, including some of our enemies … For somebody to say that I like those guys would be a weird conclusion, but that’s been in the press recently.&#8221;</p>
<p>Crow went on to tell a personal story explaining exactly why he would never have been a Nazi sympathizer: &#8220;My mom was on a ship that was sunk by Germans during World War II. If you try to kill my mom, I don’t like you. I mean, that’s reasonably obvious. And so the idea that I could have sympathy for Nazism is insane.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some of the other artifacts, Crow explained, were symbols of significant historical events — for example, the <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/arts-entertainment/2023/04/11/inside-harlan-crows-garden-of-evil-and-his-collection-of-artifacts-and-books/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statues</a> of Soviet dictators were kept to represent what the West had defeated when the Cold War ended.</p>
