Anita Hill Unsatisfied with Joe Biden’s Attempt to Make Amends

BP:

Former Vice President Joe Biden reportedly telephoned Anita Hill earlier April in an effort to make amends with the law professor who testified before the Senate in 1991 about her allegations of sexual misconduct by then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas — yet Hill is unhappy with how the conversation unfolded.

In a Wednesday interview with the New York Times, Hill revealed she feeling unsatisfied with Biden’s remarks and would not go as far as to say the former vice president apologized for “what she endured.” The Times reports that Hill appears unconvinced that Biden, who served as Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman during Thomas’ confirmation process, truly “accepts the harm he caused her.” Hill accused Thomas of sexual harassment while he was her manager at both the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

“I cannot be satisfied by simply saying I’m sorry for what happened to you. I will be satisfied when I know there is real change and real accountability and real purpose,” she told the newspaper.

Further, Hill said wouldn’t support Biden’s presidential bid until he owns up for his demeanor during the hearings. She also expressed concern over several recent allegations of inappropriate touching.

“The focus on apology to me is one thing,” Hill stated. “But he needs to give an apology to the other women and to the American public because we know now how deeply disappointed Americans around the country were about what they saw. And not just women.  more here

  1. he is trying to apologize for the actions of others (Republican senators) who rightfully questioned hill, and taking no responsibility for his own actions, believing he personally did nothing wrong or prejudiced. It is an artful attempt at spinning public perception, and the rewriting of history.
    We’ll see this exercised again with blasey ford later on.
    It is what they do.
    she will probably ‘come around’ and endorse him, after accepting his ‘apology’.

    democrats- the party of death and taxes.
