“Please note that I did not leave the Clarence Thomas hearings a Republican. I did not leave the hearings an originalist.
But I did leave the hearings deeply cynical of media that I had thought were neutral and a Democratic Party that I’d believed was guided by principle.
This was the beginning of the end of the self-deception that I was like everyone else around me.
It would take a few more years to get there— to discover that I was a conservative— but this was the exact point where I realized that it was not just that I disagreed with the Democratic Party but, more important, that the media were its dominant partner in crime.
The national disgrace that was the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, for me, changed everything.” [4] Breitbart, 2011. Pages 27-28
