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]Demsrule86
(71,542 posts)I did read is that Hill thought if Thomas knew about the allegation he would withdraw. I don't think she ever expected to testify...her name was leaked without permission...where have we heard this before.
" (CNN)In July 1991, more than half of Americans -- 52% -- said they would like to see the Senate vote in favor of Clarence Thomas serving on the Supreme Court, with 17% who said they would not want them to vote in favor, according to a Gallup/CNN poll.
"Months later, after Anita Hill accused the judge of sexual harassment and testified about it on Capitol Hill, the number who said the Senate should vote to confirm had grown, with 58% who said yes, according to a Gallup poll. After his confirmation, in an ABC News / Washington Post poll, 62% of Americans said Thomas should have been confirmed compared to 34% who said he should not. More Americans told Gallup they believed Thomas -- 48% -- than Hill -- 29% -- after her testimony."
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
