What the media did to Anita Hill was absolutely horrendous and every outlet and personality who made a punch line out of her back then should apologize for their absolute disrespect of a woman who did something that was beyond brave.
His mocking her, along with all the Monica Lewinsky jokes, is a big reason why Jay Leno can go get fucked.
Yep, the democratic senator from Delaware that guided his confirmation through the judiciary committee should be shunned forever.
In favor of the grab em by the pussy guy?
Ideally those things would've been raised during the primary so Americans wouldn't be left with the choice between a conservative and a fascist.
.
He's still very conservative. He's basically a 1970s era Republican.
Deluding yourself into thinking Biden would have made any of the progress he currently has without pressure from the outside is insane. Forgiving student debt, HE wrote the bill making it permanent.
People can change, Biden obviously has, but left to his own devices he is another white male career politician. His only saving grace is he can compromise.
The media and Joe Biden personally lol

Seems like a great cause for #metoo to explore
The me too movement is simply many in society finally telling women that it's finally ok to tell the stories of how men in powerful positions have abused and humiliated them.
Anita Hill is basically an original #metoo badass from a time when it was not only not ok but severely frowned upon. She told her story even though our society crucified her for it.
Yes, he was never appropriately reprimanded imho
