In reply to the discussion: Now that Harris is out, the trolls will next start ramping up attacks on Biden re: Anita Hill [View all]Autumn
(45,803 posts)That was his only defense to attempt to stop his actions from derailing his seating on the SC. He got away with it because witnesses to her account were not allowed to speak. I remember it well, so no, I'm not mistaken. I watched every minute if that. I remember Biden telling Thomas... "Judge tough day and a tough night for you, I know." The difference as to how Thomas was treated compared to her was stunning. Biden told them that it was "permissible to ask her anything they wanted to to plumb the depths of her credibility" And the Republican went after he BIG. She was called a scorned woman, a militant , accused of just wanting to write a book. So much more. Mean while he was treated with kid gloves and called Judge. My whole problem with the whole thing is that there were witnesses to back her up. Witnesses that were not called. That was a travesty. It's all done and over, but it's history.
Kavanaugh and the republicans followed the Clarence model in his confirmation. And that worked well for him too.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
