Anita Hill said she “cannot be satisfied” with Joe Biden’s “I'm sorry.”
Former Vice President Joe Biden, who officially announced his 2020 presidential bid Thursday, called Anita Hill earlier this month to express his “regret for what she endured” when she testified in 1991 to the Senate about alleged sexual harassment at the hands of then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, but Hill was not satisfied with what Biden had to say.
Until Biden—who, as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991, oversaw Thomas's confirmation hearing—takes responsibility for his role in the event and accepts the harm he caused to her and to others who experience harassment, Hill said she would not support his bid for the presidency. Hill also expressed concern for the accusations of unwanted touching against Biden in recent months.
“Vice President Biden has spoken with Anita Hill. They had a private discussion where he shared with her directly his regret for what she endured and his admiration for everything she has done to change the culture around sexual harassment in this country," the spokesperson said. “A brave lawyer, a really notable woman, Anita Hill, a professor, showed the courage of a lifetime talking about her experience being harassed by Clarence Thomas,” Biden said at the event. “But she paid a terrible price. She was abused in the hearing. She was taken advantage of. Her reputation was attacked. I wish I could have done something.”
