WASHINGTON - Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, in his first interview as a Democratic presidential candidate, insisted on Friday that he did not treat law professor Anita Hill badly during confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas held almost 30 years ago.
At times, Biden seemed to oscillate between defending his behavior and saying he did nothing wrong and apologizing and trying to make amends. Often, he seemed stranded in-between. Activists have long been unhappy that Hill was questioned in graphic detail by the all-white, all-male committee chaired by Biden.
That seemed to be a reference to another controversy that looms over Biden’s presidential run: allegations by several women that he made them uncomfortable by touching them at political events.
