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 Glamours Women of the Year summit in New York with his wife, Jill Biden. After the discussion, BuzzFeeds 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, Im wondering if theres 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 didnt do enough to stand by Hill or shield her from attacks when she accused Thomas of sexual harassment.
Lets 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 didnt encourage more women to testify against Thomas.

In the only redeeming act of his entire lifetime, Arlen Specter absolutely dismantled her under cross-examination.
That is really something considering Groping Joe Biden uttered his sympathy for Anita Hill. Old Joe hasn’t seen anyone he would not try to cop a feel
He did that arm pull and chest fingering touch to virtually every prepubescent girl on video at the 2014 Senate swearing- in
Slow-mo of the videos clearly show his technique
Watch the faces and body language of the children. They know he us doing something creepy while their parents stand there and WATCH
“They know he us doing something creepy while their parents stand there and WATCH”............
It’s good to be the VP, everyone admires you. Let that be a republican and they would hang him at dawn out of the front lawn. How the hell do people let that creep get away with that? If it were my daughter or wife I would be charged with assault on the VP of the United States and they would hang ME at dawn.
If you watch those videos, pervy Biden did a real job on Mitch McConnells younger daughter
Inching his massaging fingers from her shoulders down into her chest, holding her head like a vise while he crowded up behind her
From the look on that child’s face she should have gotten therapy
Meanwhile Mrs Chao was directing camera angles
You're stupid, Joe. You're also a perv. I bet you wanted to 'console' Anita Hill ...
Ted "Swimmer" Kennedy sitting in judgment of anybody, on any topic whatsoever, is beyond farce.
What about the high tech lynching Clarence Thomas went through?
Anita Hill was lying from the word go.
Groper Joe Biden and Anita Hill lied about Clarence Thomas.
