Anita Hill Re-Emerges As Hero Of #MeToo Movement, But Testimony Fell Short

Sensing an opportunity for newfound relevance, Anita Hill has been doing the rounds in media as a subject matter expert on the Brett Kavanaugh allegation, hoping a new generation too young to know and faded memories of others will gloss over why her own accusations were not seen as credible in 1991.

Hill, the law professor who accused then-Supreme Court justice nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment says she got a raw deal when she testified against him over 25 years ago.

“The reluctance of someone to come forward demonstrates that even in the #MeToo era, it remains incredibly difficult to report harassment, abuse or assault by people in power,” she said in a statement to The Daily Beast, referencing the 35-year old sexual misconduct accusation bandied against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford.

She is also the most painfully boring human being on the face of the earth.

One good thing came out of her episode.

It curbed my desire for any can cokes.

Um... he wasn't in a position of "power" when this alleged incident was supposed to have take place.

If they get you on the lecture circuit, you can get a few thousand from university funding per pop.

You do three or four of those per month, you can make a fairly nice living.

If you can do ten per month, ouch.

Yet, when the Lewinsky Scandal happened and Hill was asked about BJ on the Today Show, her response was ‘well, you really have to consider his voting record’. Not kidding.

She’s no ‘hero’ but she’ll always be a zero.

I love it when leftists get all high and mighty. Then I bring up Bill Clinton whom they protected and defended just a few years later.

Ford is a hard core left wing political activist. She desires not to testify under oath as she knows damn good and well her lies may put her in jail. It is that simple.

She did her job for the left and now is a potential road kill. She is a bitch but not a stupid bitch. Just a lying bitch is all she is.

Diane Fienstein would and will abandon her in an instant of political gain or survival. Ford is no longer relevant and if wise will now base her actions on survival when the left abandon her.

Ford has a real problem. She is going down.

Rewriting history. No one in 1991 believed her. A lot of her young feminist fangirls probably weren’t even born then.

She turned her moment of fame into a tenured position at Brandeis, a step up from Oklahoma. Maybe Ford can parlay her 15 minutes into a position at a major university (Palo Alto U is not major).

"it remains incredibly difficult to report harassment, abuse"

It actually appears incredibly easy if the Demonicrat party can use you. Just make up a fake story about any Republican or Republican appointee.

What I don’t understand is that Hill had to testify in an open televised hearing, so why should Ford be treated any differently?

She was enriched by her testimony against Thomas. She hopes to be more enriched with her new relevance as a Democratic tool.
