</div><div>I’d say Crystal Clanton just keeps failing upwards, but given that outrage is currency in right-wing circles, it is more accurate to say that her career is progressing on schedule. Do you remember why Clanton first became a news story? It’s been a minute, so I’ll cover the deets.&nbsp;</div><div>
</div><div>In December of 2017, the New Yorker reported that Clanton, who at the time worked at the conservative student group Turning Point USA, texted co-workers with this hateful message:</div><div>
</div><div>I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like fuck them all .?.?. I hate blacks. End of story.</div><div>
</div><div>From ABOVE THE LAW</div><div>Awful, right? And this was far from a one-off incident, as reported by Mediaite:</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Numerous sources who worked with Clanton detailed how she would exchange racist remarks regularly with other TPUSA staffers — including Alana Mastrangelo, who currently works for the group, and Timox Prax, who was allegedly forced out of TPUSA this year over “bigoted” remarks — using Snapchat.</span></div><div>
</div><div>One such message reviewed by Mediaite features a photo of a man who appears to be Arab and a caption written by Clanton that reads, “Just thinking about ways to do another 9/11.” (The source who provided Mediaite with the image requested it not be published to protect their anonymity.)</div><div>
</div><div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">Well, even though Clanton was forced out of the right-wing nonprofit, her career prospects were far from damaged.&nbsp;<b>Shortly after she left Turning Point USA, Ginni Thomas — yes, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife — hired Clanton to assist with her media ventures</b>. And Clanton lapped up her connection to the powerful jurist</span>.</div><div>
</div><div>But that wasn’t the end of Clanton’s ambitions. She was admitted to&nbsp;<b style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">ASSLaw&nbsp;</b><b>— that’s George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School</b>, for the uninitiated — and is scheduled to graduate this spring. And now we know that her post-graduation plans include an<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">&nbsp;incredibly prestigious clerkship with Eleventh Circuit&nbsp;<b>Judge William Pryor</b>&nbsp;for 2023-24.</span></div></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
