How does that translate into "persecution" (your words) of Anita Hill? Maybe "persecution" doesn't mean what you think it means?
These were my words in context.
That would be fascinating because of Joe Biden's role in persecuting Anita Hill during her testimony to congress. He was the one presiding over the hearings that many women and African American consider very unfair to Anita Hill.
She was persecuted in that meeting and Biden let it happen.
Throughout the hearings, it became clear, that Hill was the one actually being persecuted, not the accuser.
Yeah, it was more a rebuttal to Trump than to Obama. Just goes to show that the establishment Republicans are more comfortable with Obama than Trump. I guess the deal is off.
Are you kidding? Her speech was a complete rebuke to the Obama presidency. Here is the full transcript. And she didn't mention Trump at all.
Either you are being sarcastic or you were watching somebody else. She herself was making the rounds on TV this morning confirming that she was bashing Trump. Sure, she might have "rebuked" Obama, but that is to be expected of a so called Republican rebuttal but what people will remember is how she couldn't wait to join Democrats to bash Trump. She was picked to rebut Obama, not Trump.

She verified it this morning:
"Donald Trump was one of the people she singled out as one of the "angriest voices" in the country during her Republican response to Tuesday night's State of the Union, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley acknowledged Wednesday.
"He was one of them, yes. He was one," Haley told Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today."
Conservative broadcaster Laura Ingraham is lambasting the SC chick governor. Said Nikki was proObama, antiTrump.
That's the problem with the GOP. Nikki Haley is the flavor of the day for the GOP establishment. They have totally bought into the MSM's meme that Trump is the whole problem with the GOP, and they've recruited her to sell their message. Every time the GOP seems to be close to winning, they have to sabotage themselves.
I'm not big on the idea of a third party, but IMO it might be necessary.
"He was one of them, yes. He was one," Haley told Matt Lauer on NBC's "Today." "There's other people in the media, there's people in my state. I think we're seeing it across the country. But yes, Mr. Trump has definitely contributed to what I think is just irresponsible talk."
She also clearly said he wasn't the only one. And take note. It was NBC who raised Trump's name, not her.
That speech wasn't about bashing Trump as the party I was responding to tried to say.
Maybe you might want to re-read the transcript yourself! From your link:
Soon, the Obama presidency will end, and America will have the chance to turn in a new direction. That direction is what I want to talk about tonight.

Today, we live in a time of threats like few others in recent memory. During anxious times, it can be tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices. We must resist that temptation. No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws, and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in this country. ,,,
We must fix our broken immigration system. That means stopping illegal immigration. And it means welcoming properly vetted legal immigrants, regardless of their race or religion. Just like we have for centuries.
.....
Some people think that you have to be the loudest voice in the room to make a difference. That is just not true. Often, the best thing we can do is turn down the volume. When the sound is quieter, you can actually hear what someone else is saying.
...
That was a blatant jab at Trump. No way is establishment sweetheart Nikki Haley going to join a Trump ticket!!
