Joe Biden Says He’s ‘So Sorry’ For What Anita Hill Went Through
Huffington Compost ^ | November 13, 2017 | Alanna Vagianos

One woman put Joe Biden on the spot Monday afternoon over how he handled Anita Hill when, as a senator, he chaired the confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas’ nomination to the Supreme Court.

The former vice president appeared at Glamour’s Women of the Year summit in New York with his wife, Jill Biden. After the discussion, BuzzFeed’s lifestyle editor, Rachel Miller, stood up with a question for him.

“In the context of changing the culture and women being brave enough to come forward, I’m wondering if there’s anything that you would do differently with regards to Anita Hill, if given the opportunity?” Miller asked.

Biden, who long has been an outspoken advocate for women, has been criticized for how he handled Hill when she testified against Thomas to the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991. Many people believe Biden didn’t do enough to stand by Hill or shield her from attacks when she accused Thomas of sexual harassment.

“Let’s get something straight here, I believed Anita Hill. I voted against Clarence Thomas,” he responded to Miller. “The only issue in the Anita Hill case was whether or not there could be information submitted in a record without a name attached to it, anonymously accusing someone of something,” he said, referring to criticisms that he didn’t encourage more women to testify against Thomas.

But Slow Joe is not at all sorry for the hell he put Clarence Thomas through.

Anita Hill was a willing accomplice in the “high-tech” lynching that was attempted on Clarence Thomas, and her story was mostly innuendo about “harassment” that only happened inside her own head.

I just wish that Herman Cain had been stronger when the same playbook was used against him.

He’s so sorry Ms Hill wasn’t pre pubescent so he wouldn’t molest her.

There can be no doubt that Joe is getting in position to make another run at the presidency.

Arrogant, pompous baffoon...to think he is "worthy" of ascending to the presidency.

"Did he ever say that about Gennifer Flowers or any of the others Bill and Hillary destroyed???"

I don't know. What was his response when the reporter asked him that? /MEGA SARC

Same. I contributed to his campaign and had his bumper sticker on my car when I was working at DOT in Madison, during the Scott Walker AC 10 business. It was one of the few bumper stickers I could sport without getting my car keyed.

I think Mr. Cain is strong enough, but maybe Mrs. Cain didn't want to deal with the nonsense anymore.

Bush 31 accused of assaulting 16 yr old in 2003
http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/13/politics/george-hw-bush-groping-allegation/index.html

Being ignored by LSM, as as Mendez (D) over a non incident 40+yrs ago that would/should have been brought froward, when Moore was running against Toxic Mitch’s pet poodle. GOPe establishment can’t stand to have a Constitutional, Conservative, Real Christian in the US Senate, it would upset their RINO balance.

If that’s my daughter, we’d have a new VP at that point.

Thanks EdnaMode. IOW, Biden is on notice that he is toast in 2020.

Anyone think he’s “sorry” for these photos, and especially the one with his hands on the woman’s boob? Sick “son-of-a batch”
