Joe Biden this fall, despite the fact that he’s still never formally apologized for the way he treated her during the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991.with CNN’s Gloria Borger, Hill seemingly acknowledged the political realities of the moment, saying that although Biden might not be a perfect candidate for women, he’s still the best candidate to help further her work on issues of sexual harassment, gender violence and gender discrimination.
“Notwithstanding all of his limitations in the past, and the mistakes that he made in the past, notwithstanding those — at this point, between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, I think Joe Biden is the person who should be elected in November,” Hill said. “Its more about the survivors of gender violence. That’s really what it’s about.”Advertisement
Biden, who was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when Hill testified that Thomas had sexually harassed her in 1991, has taken criticism over his handling of those hearings during his campaign for the White House, and has also publicly lamented not being able to “get [Hill] the kind of hearing she deserved.”CNN in 2019, adding that Hill, “paid a terrible price. She was abused for the hearing. ... Her reputation was attacked. I wish I could have done something.
Joe needs to step up, big time. He was dis-gusting in that situation. She was/is heroic.
