Seth Moulton says Joe Biden should apologize to Anita Hill for his role in Clarence Thomas' confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court

Democratic presidential contender Seth Moulton on Sunday urged fellow candidate Joe Biden to apologize to Anita Hill for his role in Clarence Thomas' confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court.

"I think she was treated terribly," the Massachusetts congressman said of Hill. "Joe Biden is a mentor and a friend of mine; he's a great American. Everybody makes mistakes — I do think that was a mistake, though, and I do think he should apologize.

But in a later interview with The New York Times, Hill conveyed her dissatisfaction with Biden's call, saying he had "set the stage" for the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in the face of allegations of sexual misconduct.

Who gives a damn what Seth Moulton says?

He has apologized. Maybe the people that voted to confirm Thomas are the ones that need to apologize to Ms. Hill. I think apologies are needed for Ms. Ford also.

What is wrong with you, Politico? If you’re going to start covering every self-serving and/or stupid thing Seth says, you will be very busy and even less relevant, if that’s possible.

I think the problem is Joe sees himself as an advocate for women. Maybe he was during his time, but things have changed.

Seth Mouthoff should go back a few days to when nobody knew who the fk he was.

Really? Did you demand that Trump apologize for sleeping with a porn star then lied about it? Gimme a break

Everyone knows Seth Moulton should apologize to the citizens of Essex County for turning into an opportunistic idiot once elected as their representative.

Seth Moulton can stick it

Seth Moulton should go away.

It must be satisfying for Seth that someone finally listened to something he said. Now, if he could only find someone who cares what he said

Dear seth Moulton where are you when trump spews anti woman hate a bigotry. But your worried abour a non issue that happened 25 years ago

Enough already.

After what Trump has done, they want 100 apologizes. Trump does something off the wall every day.

Moulton, you just lost my vote. Way too phony. Phony, phony, phony.

JoeBiden TRASH!!!😒 The American people don't expect Joe Biden to apologize for anything Especially crap from a 100 years ago TRASH!!!😒 MOVE ON PEOPLE (fake news)

Sit down Seth.

Clarence Thomas, yes....Anita Hill, no.

Who?

MOULTON. AFTER DT APOLOGISES TO 13YO HE SAVAGELY RAPED AND HER FAMILY AND HER ATTY HE THREATENED

Anita Hill has already said as much. We all know it, but sure, thanks Seth.

He is a chronic nut case

Mr. Moulton, you are not doing anything good so far, because no one cares about the Johnny come lately rehash. We are 100 percent behind impeachment or arrest of the GOP persons breaking laws.

Trump should apologize to Stormy Daniels, Ivana, Marla, Melania, the Playboy Playmate and the American people. You see Seth, trump has set the bar so low, you guys have no room to talk. Zero!

Why do people keep digging up the past. He did apologize but some idiot thinks it is not good enough. I wish people would just take care of their own yard and not worry about the other guy If you are not affected by it leave it alone.

This guy was 13 during the Anita Hill hearings. Like Trump saying he would have done things different than Washington. It's all talk.

Democrats turning on each other in a feeding frenzy... I’m making popcorn.

Forgive my naivete.. but what is the huge issue here?

Who is this guy?

For fu*ks sale. Anita Hill does NOT need another man talking for her. MeToo has taught msm nothing. Anita Hill is a strong, smart, badass woman. Interview HER if you want to write an article, otherwise you're part of and perpetuating the problem.

Wow - he just keeps coming up with these bold takes, doesn’t he?

in 1998, JoeBiden admitD to Alan 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. The exchange was published in Specter’s 2000 memoir, “Passion for Truth”.

I agree that JoeBiden should learn what an apology is by now. He’s a septuagenarian for fuck’s sake. I *knew* this was gonna happen the minute TheDemocrats let an old white guy jump in.

This is the same guy who tried to oust Nancy Pelosi for leading the Democrats to an overwhelming House majority. He's not exactly the most qualified to be discussing who women should be treated. Of course Biden should apologize, but Mutton isn't the one to be telling him.

Stooopid

Poor lefturd holding a 30 year old grudge. He better get him some Odummycare before it goes tits up

.sethmoulton No one cares about this. This is not what middle America goes to sleep worrying about. Enough!

I'm starting to believe some of these candidates have agreed to enter either as rabbits in the race, or strategically inserted attack dogs to thin the herd and make it give the appearance of natural circumstances leading to the predetermined Primary winner.

Seth Myers Seth Rogen Seth Mandel Seth Moulton

Oh Seth, there so many worse things for the candidates to apologize for -

who is he ?

Geeze, Seth- shooting arrows at your in-party competition is 'dirty pool.'

Dear Seth, buzz off and focus on getting 65,000 donors...
