Anita Hill: ‘I have no intention of apologizing’

Apparently time doesn't heal all wounds.

Virginia Thomas, the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, has admitted leaving a voice mail asking Anita Hill for an apology.

Nearly two decades ago Hill accused the now-justice of sexual harassment at his confirmation hearing.

Hill let ABC News hear the voice mail message.

ABC News reported that Thomas said she was "extending an olive branch to her after all these years... no offense was ever intended."

But Hill told ABC's Jake Tapper, It "was in no way conciliatory for her to begin with the presumption that I did something wrong in 1991. I simply testified to the truth of my experience."

"For her to say otherwise is not extending an olive branch, it's accusatory," she said. "I don't apologize. I have no intention of apologizing and I stand by my testimony from 1991."

9. I suspect there's more to this than an attempt to rehab Thomas' image

I get a feeling that there's domestic disharmony afoot in the Thomas household, with a twist of substance abuse and mental illness thrown in for good measure.
