Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have, from the beginning, recalled the contentious 1991 confirmation of Justice Clarence Thomas amid similar allegations of misconduct by Anita Hill. Now the Senate Judiciary Committee chair during the Hill-Thomas saga is wading into the conversation.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, permanently surrounded by 2020 White House speculation, offered an apology of sorts to Hill, who was widely smeared by the media after her harassment allegations against Thomas, one of her former managers.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t have stopped the kind of attacks that came to you,” Biden told NBC’s Today on Friday. “But I never attacked her, I supported her. I believed her from the beginning.”
