Joe Biden On Anita Hill In 1998: ‘She Was Lying’
The Federalist ^ | 4/28/20 | Mollie Hemingway

Posted on 05/12/2020 2:06:42 AM PDT by Libloather

Former vice president Joe Biden repeatedly said on The View on Friday that he believed Anita Hill from the moment he heard her tale of sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas. But he previously told Sen. Arlen Specter that it was clear her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee included lies.

“Not only didn’t I vote for Clarence Thomas, I believed her from the beginning. I was against Clarence Thomas, I did everything in my power to defeat Clarence Thomas and he won by the smallest margin anyone ever won going on the Supreme Court,” Biden told “The View’s” Joy Behar.

But in 1998, Biden admitted to Specter that “It was clear to me from the way she was answering the questions, [Hill] was lying” about a key part of her testimony. The exchange was published in Specter’s 2000 memoir, “Passion for Truth: From Finding JFK’s Single Bullet to Questioning Anita Hill to Impeaching Clinton.”

**SNIP**

On “The View,” Biden claimed, “If you go back and look at what I said and didn’t say, I don’t think I treated her badly. I took on her opposition. What I couldn’t figure out how to do - and we still haven’t figured it out – how do you stop people from asking inflammatory questions?”

Biden tried to be on all sides of every issue because he has no core beliefs.

In 1998 “Borking” was new territory. Trying to defeat a judicial nominee using transparent smears was an innovation at the time. Joe wasn’t sure how it would play out.

At the time most people did not believe Anita Hill because she was not credible. The steady drumbeat of propaganda from the left wing media has changed public perceptions, but not the facts: she was lying.

Whoever approves allowing Joe Biden to take the stage, knows he is not up to speed.

Joe Biden is a legend in his own mind. Always has been and always will be. The problem is he makes up his own legends.

Joe Biden is a liar. Worse, he is an inept liar.
