EXCLUSIVE Clarence Thomas Accuser Hopes Biden Learned From His 'Mistake'

‘We all make mistakes,’ said Sukari Hardnett, who was prevented from testifying in support of Anita Hill in 1991. ‘But what’s critical is that we learn from those mistakes.’

It’s been nearly three decades, but former Vice President Joe Biden still has not figured out quite how to apologize for his handling of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ confirmation hearings—and one woman who was prevented from testifying in those hearings is growing weary of waiting.

“As human beings, we all make mistakes,” Sukari Hardnett, who in 1991 submitted a sworn affidavit to the Senate Judiciary Committee testifying that she had been subject to Thomas’ “unpleasant” attention, told The Daily Beast. “But what’s critical is that we learn from those mistakes.”

Asked if she felt that Biden had learned from his own mistakes, Hardnett sighed.

“All I can say is that I hope so. I hope so,” Hardnett said. “We will never be able to revisit that opportunity.”

In 1991, Hardnett was prepared to testify in support of Professor Anita Hill, who like Hardnett was a former employee of Thomas’ during his time as chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Hill, whose tenure at the EEOC did not overlap with Hardnett’s, had accused Thomas of sexual harassment, including detailing “acts he had seen in pornographic films,” and graphically telling Hill about “his own sexual prowess.”

1. Biden should...

… call for Thomas to resign, and have a full investigation into the allegations against Kavanagh. There should not be any doubt our Supreme Court Justices are 100% cleared - the Justices should understand this, and they should want the same.
