If Biden’s claim about believing Anita Hill is true, why did he leave a voicemail for Thomas praising him as a ‘person of character’?
During his campaign to secure the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination, Joe Biden infamously told the leftist co-hosts of ABC’s The View that, “from the beginning,” he believed Anita Hill’s unsubstantiated allegations of sexual harassment against now-Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
“Not only didn’t I vote for Clarence Thomas, I believed [Hill] 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 said in the 2019 interview.
But if Biden’s claim about believing Hill is true, then why did he leave a voicemail on Thomas’ answering machine praising him as a “person of character” after his confirmation to the Supreme Court?
Obtained by The Federalist, the voice message in question further underscores Biden’s duplicitous behavior throughout Thomas’ Senate confirmation. As the then-chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Delaware Democrat had an instrumental role in shepherding the three-ring circus that sought to sink the George H.W. Bush nominee’s appointment to the highest court in the land.
In his 2007 memoir My Grandfather’s Son, Thomas — who was confirmed to SCOTUS 34 years ago on Wednesday — described a phone call he purportedly had with the Delaware senator prior to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s vote on whether to advance his nomination to the full floor for consideration. As noted by Thomas, the Judiciary Committee was already aware of Hill’s allegations — including Biden.
During this alleged call, Biden told Thomas, as described by the then-nominee, that he “was torn over his decision and had actually brought two statements with him to the committee meeting that...

So even when the filth knew what was righteous, he was compelled by his democratness to act the turd.
He wasn’t any better back then when he had all of his marbles.
Coming from the Senate’s opinion of the person having the lowest IQ, creepy gropin’ pedophile slowjoe is nothing to brag about. Bet he sniffed Anita Hill’s hair more than once.
The whole family is a creepshow. He comes from a long line of scumbags.
A politician trying to stand on both sides of the fence. What’s new?
I’m not sure if Thomas or someone else came up with the “high tech lynching” line, but it was one of the most devastating rhetorical devices in recorded history.
Biden is, and has always been, a pathological liar.
Nothing that comes out of his mouth has ever meant anything more than that he felt a need to say it at that moment for the purposes of what he thought was needed to advance his station in government.
The is no end to the lefts supply of lying radical wingnut females eager to impune conservative appointees. Think Christine Blasey Ford.
I watched every second of the Thomas hearings. I was positive (by his actions/demeaner) that Biden would vote to confirm Clarence Thomas.
I was SHOCKED when he didn’t.
It WAS a “high tech lynching”, that failed.
Anita Hill was a crazy Ho.
Pictures like this of the original Joe Biden are rare
All utterances by Biden are purely political. There is no sincerity when he says something we like. There is no sincerity when he says what we don’t like.
A windmill knows which way the wind is blowing.
BIDEN’S PERFIDY IS LONG & DEEP
He might have “had all his marbles then”, but he never has had very many marbles.
Biden has always been a mean, stupid, lying asshole. And I mean always.
That entire charade was when I first realized Brandon was a POS.
