This is the one thing I'll never forgive Joe Biden for. I think he thought he was defending the underdog because Clarence Thomas was Black. But Thomas was the overdog. I wonder if some of Biden's later support of women was in part atonement for this error of judgment.

Senator Byrd led a great defense of Ms. Hill. Amazing a Senator that was wrong half his life spent the second half being a true American Hero
