But of course, Joe Biden‘s condescending, less-than-supportive attitude towards Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings is an episode he won’t want to revive by nominating her to fill Justice Breyer‘s seat on the Supreme Court.
Filed by N.Y. Times reporters Sheryl Gay Stolberg and Carl Hulse on 4.25.19: “On Thursday, the first day of [Biden’s] presidential campaign, his camp disclosed the call, saying[said that] the the former vice president had shared with Anita Hill “his regret for what she endured” 28 years ago, when, as the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he presided over the confirmation hearings in which she accused Clarence Thomas, President George Bush’s nominee to the Supreme Court, of sexual harassment.
“But Ms. Hill says the call from Mr. Biden left her feeling deeply unsatisfied.
“In a lengthy telephone interview on Wednesday, she declined to characterize Mr. Biden’s words to her as an apology and said she was not convinced that he has taken full responsibility for his conduct at the hearings — or for the harm he caused other victims of sexual harassment and gender violence.”
I think Jimmy Kimmel’s suggestion that Anita Hill should be nominated for SCOTUS is perfectly brilliant! 💪🏽💙 How about you!?! pic.twitter.com/Qc9V5OSbkP
