Weighing a 2020 campaign for president, former Vice President Joe Biden says he should have protected Anita Hill from what he called “character assassination” during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Justice Clarence Thomas more than a quarter century ago.
Biden chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee during the contentious 1991 hearings. As sexual misconduct again shadows a high court confirmation, Biden said he failed to prevent the all-male committee from putting Hill on the defensive.
“Anita Hill was vilified when she came forward, by a lot of my colleagues,” Biden said during an interview on NBC’s Today. “I wish I could have done more to prevent those questions and the way they asked them.”
Biden was reflecting on his lead role in a seminal moment in the nation’s debate over sexual harassment, long before the explosion of the #MeToo movement and the return of allegations of sexual impropriety in a Supreme Court confirmation. […]
“My biggest regret was I didn’t know how I could shut you off, as you were a senator, and you were attacking Anita Hill’s character,” Biden said. “Under the Senate rules, I can’t gavel you down and say you can’t ask that question, although I tried.

Never mind the character assassination of Clarence Thomas, who has proven to be an excellent Justice.
Joe, you sniff children and grope them.
Oh please, please, please, let him be the democratic candidate. Any Republican can beat this guy. He is easier to beat than Hillary Clinton by a mile.
This POS Biden and his doctor wife make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and he and his doctor wife donated like a few hundred dollars to charity. Another hypocrite phoney fake liberal who tighter with his own money than a nun’s you know what.
If I was running against him, i’d shout this from the mountaintops and make it an issue to expose how much he really cares about the poor.........he spends more on hair plugs than the poor..........POS...
Said to wife ‘Biden’s regretting how he handled Clarence Thomas, cuz he’s thinking about running in 2020”. She said “well he is a Democrat Slimeball”. “We shouldn’t expect less”.
Please run, Creepy Uncle Joe. I want to see ads of you groping children 24/7.
Joe Biden needs to write crib notes on the waistband of his underwear on how to piss.
His family clearly has a genetic predisposition for brain cancer.
It might explain why he is “Mr Groper”!
Biden is a phony transparently shameless pandering whore
I wonder what would have happened in 2016 had Tim Kaine had Joe Biden’s fake teeth? Could have swayed the election.
I’m considering 2020 might be the year Uncle Creepy is brought up on sexual charges.
LMAO!!!! Wasn’t Justice Thomas the man who was vilified?.. Uncle Joe is a Kodak moment every time he opens his pie hole, and the stupid sheeple buy this it!!!
“Strong” women are equal to men. But they need coddling and protection from words.
I briefly saw old Joe on C-SPAM tonight. He looks older than Methuselah...
Surely some woman or state trooper will come forth and accuse Joe of groping....

The one with the fat deputy giving him the evil eye as Joes hand seemed to be ‘fondling’ the deputies leg...
