Joe Biden talked to Anita Hill, but she’s not yet willing to forgive the Democratic presidential contender
Former vice president Joe Biden — who launched his third bid for the Democratic nomination for president on Thursday — spoke with Anita Hill, the woman whose treatment during Justice Clarence Thomas's Senate confirmation hearings Biden has said he regrets.
Hill also told The Times that she is disturbed by recent allegations by women who said Biden touched them in ways them made them feel uncomfortable."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."
Hill has said that Biden"could have done more" to bolster her claims against Thomas, including by having people her supported her allegations testify at the hearings. "But sometimes when the doorbell rings, and I am not expecting anyone, I think, could that be Joe Biden?" she added to laughter from the audience.
