Late Night Hosts Mock Clarence Thomas' Gift Scandal

TL;DR Summary
Late night hosts, including guest host Jordan Klepper on The Daily Show and Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, skewered Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for not disclosing gifts and trips from conservative donor Harlan Crow, including luxury vacations and renovations to Thomas's mother's home. Crow is known for his collection of Nazi memorabilia and statues of despots. Thomas claims he did not have to report the gifts because of his close friendship with Crow, but Colbert pointed out that Crow bought property from Thomas in 2014, including the house where Thomas's mother was living.
