===Anita Hill hearings===
Biden as chair of the Judiciary Committee, called for extended hearings to delay a vote on Thomas and accommodate her 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 the central theme of her testimony. Biden used [[homophobia]], allegations by a Republican Senator that Anita Hill had "certain proclivities" to discredit her testimony, to attack Hill's critics while at the same time fight the nomination of an [[uppity]] Black. 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>
Thomas said he would rather have been the victim of an assassin's bullet than suffer what the hearings did to him.<ref>http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,974074,00.html</ref> [[Democrat]]s were outraged that a [[Republican]] president would nominate a [[conservative]] [[African-American]] role model for Black youths to the Supreme Court.
Hill described her private conversation with Joe Biden shortly before he entered the [[2020 presidential election]] as "deeply unsatisfying."<ref>https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/anita-hill-says-recent-conversation-with-joe-biden-was-deeply-unsatisfying</ref>
