Anita Hill never pictured herself voting for Joe Biden.
But given the political reality the nation is facing, she's not only going to vote for Biden -- she's also willing to work with him."My commitment is to finding solutions, and I am more than willing to work with him," Hill said. She'd like to work on issues of sexual harassment, gender violence and gender discrimination.
Hill and Biden have a troubled history dating back nearly three decades: In 1991, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and oversaw the confirmation hearing of then-US Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. Hill was the star witness, testifying that Thomas sexually harassed her when they worked together at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Thomas denied the allegations.
"I want the next president to be somebody that I can go to and talk about the real issues that women, men, and non-binary people are experiencing with violence in this country, that's directed to them because of their gender," Hill said. "I believe that Joe Biden would be that person. I do not believe that Donald Trump would be the person who would hear me."

Anita Hill is a very forgiving woman. I think she must realize that VP Biden is probably remorseful, especially in light of the fact that US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh faced similar allegations and was still confirmed.....things haven't changed much in 30 years have they! I'm sure Joe will call Anita because he's that kind of man. Maybe if they work together that will be seen as one way that your nation can begin to heal. Her support for Joe shows that she's willing to move past what happened to her so long ago.
