Reporter April Ryan recently asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki whether President Biden has consulted Anita Hill on his Supreme Court nomination process for replacing retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. There are many reasons Biden would not do this, starting with the fact Biden thought Hill lied in her allegations against Clarence Thomas.
Also, Hill has long criticized Biden for the way he allegedly treated her during Thomas’s shocking 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Why would he consult her?
As a senator, Biden chaired those Thomas-Hill hearings. After Thomas testified, Hill claimed Thomas had sexually harassed her when she worked for Thomas at the Department of Education and then at Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Yes, that’s right, Anita Hill, a Yale-educated lawyer, actually followed her alleged harasser to another job.
Hill testified, Thomas testified, and then several witnesses testified for Hill and another group supported Thomas. Not a single one of Hill’s coworkers came forward to support her allegations. Many colleagues, including many women, sided with Thomas and raised serious issues about the veracity of Hill’s claims. At the end of the hearings, a NY Times/CBS poll showed that the American people believed Thomas by a margin of 58 percent to 24 percent. Only 26 percent of women believed Hill.
