'This is not something he can just get out of the way before announcing his candidacy,” a founder of the women's group UltraViolet tweeted.
A women’s advocacy group accused former Vice President Joe Biden of being the “ringleader of a hostile and sexist hearing” after he expressed regret about how he handled the case involving Anita Hill, and warned it will likely follow him into his potential 2020 presidential bid.
“I wish I could have done something,” he continued. “To this day I regret I couldn't come up with a way to get her the kind of hearing she deserved, given the courage she showed by reaching out to us."“Joe Biden was the ringleader of the hostile and sexist hearing that put Anita Hill, not Clarance Thomas, on trial,” UltraViolet co-founder and executive director Shaunna Thomas tweeted.
Shuanna Thomas tweeted that Biden “owes Anita Hill a direct and sincere apology” adding that he “also owes the American public an honest conversation about his role during this dismal moment of our nation’s history.”
