What law is he above, your personal BS P C law?

To hell with you Thomas!

Joe never meant to invade any person's comfort zone. He is just a friendly guy. It is time to move on from this foolishness and to critical national issues. If you think Joe is a pervert. Don't vote for him but we have other problems that Joe has the skills to help solve.

Where was everyone when he was running with Obama? Hypocrites

Joe. Just say you are sorry for crissake. No one's going to claim you're 'weak' except the people who don't count

Joe no way you should apologize. Anita ought to apologize to justice Thomas. Pubic hair on a coke can Seriously

The key word here is HE APOLOGIZES. Individual1 NEVER APOLOGIZES. And he’s committed actual sexual assault. So can we move on, please? There’s so much more on the line....

Politico-did you look into his heart? How do you know he’s not contrite? You put up positive things defending the GOP and Republicans yet you insult him by saying his apologies are half hearted. Make your coverage even handed please.

Kissing ass doesn’t get it

Did Biden give Flores consent when she rear handed his shoulders for a selfie?Answer, “NO”, she’s a silly hypocrite !

I'd love to hear half apologies out of the orange man.

Enough already...trump has never apologized for anything he’s done...Biden would bring honor and dignity back to the WH

He should apologize for Obama/Biden term

Has THOMAS & G H W Bush apologized?

Joe Biden is a sexual predator like the convicted Hollywood sexual abuse offenders! Another one of Weinstein’s disciples!

One of the women who complained about Biden touching her, was shown on video grabbing Biden. I think she's a Bernie supporter.

Good lord just drop it !!! You have an insane nut job in the wh!!

Did he forget to apologize the first two times he ran for the presidency?

What exactly did he do to Anita Hill? Her fate was never solely in his hands and those who voted against her were Conservatives like her. Why is Biden being asked to shoulder the responsibility.

Wasn’t it Clarence Thomas that sexually harassed Hill? Focus on the real villain in this story.

Nonsense

When will Biden apologise to the children?

He should have apologized to Anita Hill a long time ago.

So, Joe who didn’t vote for Clarence Thomas, but head of Judiciary Committee, did not support Anita Hill in a fashion that she thought should have been 29 yrs ago in a “he said she said” situation. Honestly, is this part of a “me too” moment bc it’s an injustice to real victims.

The non-apology What Mr. Biden is saying: 'Sorry YOU feel upset about me touching you.' (placing the responsibility on the victim for how they feel) What Mr. Biden SHOULD be saying: 'I am sorry that I touched you without your consent.' (taking responsibility for his act).

Here is my question how come Anita Hill didnt come foward when he was Obama running mate why now when he is running for the presidency. Its coincident that she came foward three days before biden announcement

respect Hill as Professional lawyer but ISupportJoe over her-I can't resolve her asking Thomas for a job recommendation/ or picking him up-she told her story-move on-ByeFelicia ?is Hill a Republican-Dems see the forest & not the Tree ultimately Biden & she knew Thomas was unfit

he doesnt owe them apologies. He did nothing wrong. Dont care what you 'think' he did NOTHING wrong! GET off him!

Does he not have any good crisis comms people on his team, or what?

Who cares. He's being attacked by Russian bots. That tells me that the Russians don't want him in office; all the more reason to vote for Joe. Trump complimented Bernie Sanders, even after Bernie attacked trump; a huge red fvcking flag. No SenSanders BernieSanders.

Remember the time Biden grabbed them by the pussies? Me neither.

Yeah. Biden should apologize.

NatashaBertrand: I wish you hadn't chosen to work for this rag.

He's accused of making women feel uncomfortable; Trump is accused of sexual assault. There's a difference. That aside: his treatment of Anita Hill is unforgivable, especially since he doesn't seem to get it.

re: Anita Hill - probably would have meant more if it wasn't almost 28 years later...

He's completely inadequate. He might as well be Trump.

You're still doing this. Mmkay. Maybe, focus on the real sexual predator squatting in the White House.

Literally 99.7% of men his age should probably apologize to women their age. I'm sure that many have made metoo women.

At least he offered an apology to those he made feel uncomfortable. Has Trump apologized to the 2 dozen women he’s accused of sexually assaulting? Here is a man blatantly bragging about sexually assaulting women on tape but apparently Biden’s uncomfortable hugs are the issue.🙄

obama's apostles of treason: Biden, a blatant Neil Kinnock plagiarizing political punk, who never once offered an apology for robbing his beautiful crafted speeches ... nytimes CNN realDonaldTrump thetimes BBCWorld WelshGovernment GreggJarrett nypost FoxNews DailyMailUK

I really like JoeBiden, but if he’s not fully contrite, he has no claim on moral high ground on 45. He risks his future if he doesn’t own his actions that made people feel hurt regardless how positive he’s been for the cause.

A caveated apology is not an apology. Do better,

This is low level journalism whilst the real one's are asleep.

The smell of desperation is in the air... and in this story

Biden does not owe an apology. He is who he is and I hope he doesn’t change. He’s American’s Hopeful President. Someone who cares about people regardless to your color,creed or religion.

Imagine if your current President was ontape urging his pals to grab women by the genitals. Move on.

🤬

Move on...FFS!

Social norms are changing

Fuck

Biden spoke with Anita Hill, shared 'regret for what she endured'“I cannot be satisfied by simply saying 'I’m sorry for what happened to you.' I will be satisfied when I know there is real change and real accountability and real purpose,” Anita Hill told The New York Times. Anita Hill was a Democrat shill & liar, so who cares. 'I really wanted to sniff Anita's hair. Sorry not sorry.' Sigh, white man gets away with it. Again.

Joe Biden apologized to Anita Hill, but she‘s not ‘satisfied’Biden chaired the Judiciary Committee in 1991 when Hill testified about allegations of sexual harassment by then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. This is so old already, stop... everyone is not going to say the right thing to everyone all of the time. Repeat - everyone is not going to say the right thing to everyone all of the time. Repeat – everyone is not going to say the right thing to everyone all of the time. Why should she? 28 years later when he wants to be president and need the women and black women vote?
