62. Well SHE never said she changed her mind. And I believe HER, and the other two witnesses

who didn't understand why they weren't called.

Sukari Hardnett was willing to testify about why she quit her job with Thomas, and she was never called. John Greenya, the video shop owner, was waiting for a subpoena (which the committee could have issued, as they did with Wright) and was surprised to not be called.

Anita Hill, the woman who accused Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment, on Thursday said that as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President Joe Biden did a “terrible job” overseeing Thomas’ confirmation hearings in 1991.

Hill said on HuffPost Live that Biden failed to call witnesses and experts to testify who could have shed light on the sexual harassment claims made about Thomas.


“I think he did two things that were a disservice to me, that were a disservice more importantly to the public,” Hill said. “There were three women who were ready and waiting and and subpoenaed to be giving testimony about similar behavior that they had experienced or witnessed. He failed to call them.”
