A ProPublica report last week revealed Justice Thomas accepted lavish vacations from a GOP donor.
A Washington DC-based pizza chain emailed customers with a reference to Thomas accepting the vacations to promote a sale, Fox reported.
The &pizza chain often uses its social media accounts to post memes related to politics and popular culture.
An East Coast pizza chain is using a promotional sale to take jabs at Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Washington DC-based &pizza, which often uses memes and internet jokes to help sell pizzas, made Thomas the subject of its latest campaign after the revelation he accepted luxurious vacations from a GOP megadonor.
According to Fox Business, &pizza sent an email to customers on Monday that referenced Thomas taking monetary gifts.
“Every pie on sale, Just like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas,” it reportedly read.
The deal, which ends Thursday, includes a discount on all pizzas from the usual price of around $13 down to $9.99, Fox reported.
The company’s social media accounts regularly post political and pop culture-related memes rather than photos of its food. Two weeks prior to their Thomas-themed sale, &pizza Instagram account published a photo of Donald Trump captioned, “Today’s weather forecast: Stormy.”
According to the company’s Twitter account, &pizza was established in 2012, and now has locations in New York City, Philadelphia, Miami, and more. Its posts range from references to the hit TV show “White Lotus” to words of support to activists during the 2020 riots following the death of George Floyd.
