Presidential contender Joe Biden is under attack from fellow Democrats for how he treated Anita Hill in 1991, after she accused future Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of harassment. #MeToo advocates are warning that Biden had better apologize if he wants the women’s vote in the primaries. Biden’s an expert panderer. He is already expressing contrition for how he, as chairman, handled the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing on Hill’s accusations. “I believed her from the very beginning,” Biden told ABC Tuesday, “but I was chairman. She did not get a fair hearing. She did not get treated well.

Rule #1: Never ever find yourself alone with a woman in the workplace - if unavoidable wear a wire or a body cam.

Hilarious and pathetic. Biden totally demeans himself by pandering to this lying harpy and he gets his apology shoved right back up hi...down his throat.

McCaughey doesn’t mention it but that was not Biden’s only lie on the matter. Back in 1991 he too thought Hill was lying and said so. He was quoted in Arlen Specter’s memoir. There was an article about if from The Federalist a few days ago.

Hill received a fair hearing and she lied. She tried to pull a Ballsey Ford before it became a popular female technique.

He is running for president--he has to go on an apology tour with hat in hand.
There was once a time when the Senate generally voted for the persons up for confirmation, but these days, there is a "religious" test--
Those found to have too much church in their background have to be opposed SIGHT UNSEEN.
Remember the pre-prepared FORM LETTER they released WITHOUT FILLING IN A NAME that was later retracted and filled with Judge Kavanaugh´s name....

I watched the 1991 hearings, both if them mostly because I taught that stuff.
If Jo Biden made an error, it was reopening the hearing.
The tough questions he now said he should have stopped, (how would he do that?) dealt with timelines, as well as asking Anita why she followed Thomas from Education to EEOC, and why she asked him to come to her apartment to set up her new stereo.
At one point in the hearing, Arlen Specter properly declared that Anita´s testimony was ´perjurious.´ Arlen was correct.
The ´judge´ from California, who was a worker compensation referee, tried to help Anita, but admitted that Anita´s complaints about Sexual harassment came at a time when Thomas had already moved to the EEOC, and Anita was still at Education.
Biden had nothing to apologize to Anita about. But he should apologize to Thomas for that bogus 2nd hearing.
And Dead Ted Kennedy should burn in hell.

This is nothing new, the democrats are all about forgetting history. In calling republicans racist they conveniently forgot that the KKK was a predominately democrat organization. They also forgot that the mother of planned parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a racist and founded the abortion movement to weed out what Sanger saw as undesirables, such as blacks and anybody else she didn´t like.

I watched that circus Mr. Biden. The one you need to apologize to for the attempted lynching is Clarence Thomas. And by extension his wife Ginny, who had to sit there and listen to that lying hag.
Anita Hill was a total liar, and anyone who watched the hearings with an open mind knew that. Women always know their own, and the fact that Thomas had a dozen women supporting him, and she had ZERO character witnesses spoke volumes to me.
Then there is the fact she actually FOLLOWED him to different departments. Even as naive as I was then, I knew that a true victim doesn´t do that. She was angry in the way that a woman can be if a man won´t have anything to do with her. She was my first experience watching how a woman´s lies can ruin an innocent man, and unless proof can be provided, I will usually believe the man over a lying woman.

Not about "forgetting". It´s about rewriting history.
