Bwahahahaha. Virginia Thomas Denies Reports She's Leaving Liberty Central

[deminks]

ABC News’ Ariane de Vogue reports: A spokesperson for Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, denies published reports that Thomas is planning to leave or change her role at Liberty Central, a conservative political group she co-founded in part to energize Tea Party activists.

Sarah Field, the chief operating officer of Liberty Central, said in a statement that a Washington Post story suggesting the group would merge with the conservative Patrick Henry Center and that Thomas would step aside is "inaccurate." But Fields left open the possibility that Thomas may indeed change her role in the future.

"Precisely because of Liberty Central’s effectiveness, many of these opportunities did present themselves to us and they are still in the discussion stages," Field wrote.

Update: I just received this statement from Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel, Sarah Field:

The current story by Amy Gardner in the Washington Post is inaccurate. There are many opportunities being presented to Liberty Central, but there is no agreement at this time. In fact, there are several options on the table. As everyone knows, the Tea Party movement is a very fast-paced, dynamic movement and there are always these sorts of collaborative opportunities being discussed. Precisely because of Liberty Central's effectiveness, many of these opportunities did present themselves to us and they are still in the discussion stages.

The sources of this story appear to be people without full understanding of the facts. I am the spokesperson for Liberty Central and would demand a correction based on these facts.
