The article below is satire. Andy Borowitz is an American comedian and New York Times-bestselling author who satirizes the news for his column, "The Borowitz Report."

Fresh controversy swirled around Ginni Thomas as reports emerged that a Republican megadonor paid for her fur pelts and horns.

According to the reports, Thomas also accepted a set of red, white, and blue face paints from the same donor.

A combative Thomas told reporters that the fur pelts and horns she received were not luxury items but were derived from budget-priced rabbit and bison.

She said that she would “not let this latest tempest in a teapot interfere with all the good work I am doing on the United States Supreme Court.”

Her husband, Clarence Thomas, had no comment.
