Justice Clarence Thomas said he loves traveling through good old-fashioned RV parks. He loves a good Walmart parking lot. It isn't that he doesn't enjoy Europe, it's that he really just loves America. At least, that's what the Supreme Court Justice said in a video surfaced Thursday by MSNBC's Joy Reid.

"I prefer the United States and I prefer seeing a regular part of the United States. I prefer going across the rural areas. I prefer the RV parks, I prefer the Walmart parking lots to the beaches, and things like that," Thomas says in the video. "There is something normal tell me about it. I come from a regular stock and I prefer that. I prefer being around that."

Thomas was caught accepting millions in trips from a man with cases before the Court, who paid for Thomas to island hop around Indonesia on his yacht and private plane. An expose from ProPublica revealed that the big donor to conservative judicial causes pals around with Thomas regularly.
