For years, Biden failed to apologize to [[Anita Hill]] personally for the way she was treated when she testified in the 1991 confirmation of [[Clarence Thomas]].<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/26/us/politics/anita-hill-biden-clarence-thomas.html</ref><ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/440833-biden-on-anita-hill-i-dont-think-i-treated-her-badly</ref><ref>https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/26/biden-apology-accusers-anita-hill-1290843</ref><ref>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2019/apr/26/trump-news-today-live-biden-anita-hill-view-2020-democrats-updates-us-politics</ref>

Biden, then chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called for extended hearings to delay a vote on [[Clarence Thomas]] ppointment to the [[Supreme Court]] to accommodate Hill's last-minute allegations with televised hearings that traumatized the country. Biden told Sen. [[Arlen Specter]] that “It was clear to me from the way she was answering the questions, [Hill] was lying” about a key part of her testimony. Biden has been widely criticized for his [[racist]], [[sexist]], and [[bigot]]ted handling of the hearings.<ref>https://www.essence.com/news/politics/joe-biden-anita-hill-comment-2020-presidential-run/</ref><ref>https://youtu.be/sM19YOqs7hU</ref>
Hill described her private conversation with Joe Biden shortly before he entered the 2020 presidential race as "deeply unsatisfying."<ref>https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/anita-hill-says-recent-conversation-with-joe-biden-was-deeply-unsatisfying</ref>
