Clanton was fired by Turning Point USA after a New Yorker article by Jane Mayer revealed texts by the then-national field director employee saying, “i hate black people. Like fuck them all . . . I hate blacks. End of story.” Turning Point president Charlie Kirk told Mayer he fired Clanton after he saw the texts. Clanton responded to Mayer, not with an unequivocal denial but by saying, “I have no recollection of these messages and they do not reflect what I believe or who I am and the same was true when I was a teenager.” Clanton was 20 when the texts were sent.
But then Clanton was taken under the wing of the Thomases, given a prestigious clerkship with a federal appeals judge that is a springboard to a Supreme Court clerkship and suddenly, Clanton has been recast as a victim.
