Newly announced presidential candidate Joe Biden contacted Anita Hill earlier this month to express “regret” over the way her sexual-assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas were handled—but Hill didn’t walk away happy.
“I cannot be satisfied by simply saying I’m sorry for what happened to you. I will be satisfied when I know there is real change and real accountability and real purpose,” she said. Hill added that she doesn’t think Biden yet understands the true consequences of his actions, and, as such, she cannot support his presidential bid.
Biden has expressed “regret” about the circumstances surrounding Hill’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991, when he, as committee chairman, presided over hearings meant to investigate claims that Thomas sexually harassed Hill and other women during his time running the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
