actually i had never heard that saying until just now.. samnsara Apr 2019 #1

Why are YOU associating what someone else said with Biden? What is your purpose? Honeycombe8 Apr 2019 #23

My question also. cwydro Apr 2019 #37

Fair question... if Joe said it, show where he said it, otherwise, completely unfair to bring it up. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #55

Biden did NOT say this. David Brock said it in a 1993 book 2 years later. nt ucrdem Apr 2019 #72

Did he say it himself, or attribute it to Biden? InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #107

Brock wrote it in 1993 book called "The Real Anita Hill" defending Clarence Thomas. ucrdem Apr 2019 #112

And I referenced the book's origins in a RW rag in my OP. Go back and read what I wrote. CTyankee Apr 2019 #222

Said Biden: "The message I've delivered before is I am so sorry if she believes that." Demit Apr 2019 #64

No, we wouldn't. But that doesn't matter to Trump and his party. They lie about us all the time. CTyankee Apr 2019 #70

Nobody thought Joe Biden said it, and your "link" doesn't connect the quote with Joe Biden. lapucelle Apr 2019 #134
