The disturbing thing is, I don’t think Thomas saw anything that needed be avoided. He is a very politicised and very vindictive person who’s shown again and again over his career that he doesn’t mind using his position of power to shamelessly exact revenge on liberals.
For those interested in this weird angry guy and how he ended up where he is, I recommend these grimly fascinating episodes of BTB. His being the Inappropriate Office Porn Fan is the least twisted part of his history.
