Joe Biden On Anita Hill In 1998: ‘She Was Lying'

[The Federalist] Former vice president Joe Biden repeatedly said on The View on Friday that he believed Anita Hill from the moment he heard her tale of sexual harassment by Clarence Thomas. But he previously told Sen. Arlen Specter that it was clear her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee included lies.
So he's not always wrong?
"Not only didn’t I vote for Clarence Thomas, I believed her from the beginning. I was against Clarence Thomas, I did everything in my power to defeat Clarence Thomas and he won by the smallest margin anyone ever won going on the Supreme Court," Biden told "The View’s" Joy Behar.

But in 1998, Biden admitted to 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: From Finding JFK’s Single Bullet to Questioning Anita Hill to Impeaching Clinton."

The issue is important, as the media and other partisans rewrite the historical record about Hill and her accusations. The widely watched hearings revealed inaccuracies in Hill’s various versions of events and ended with 58 percent of Americans believing Thomas and only 24 percent believing Hill. There was no gap between the sexes in the results. In the intervening years, activists have relentlessly attempted to change the narrative, writing fan fiction about Hill, bestowing honors on her, and asserting that her disputed allegations were credible.

On "The View," Biden claimed, "If you go back and look at what I said and didn’t say, I don’t think I treated her badly. I took on her opposition. What I couldn’t figure out how to do ‐ and we still haven’t figured it out ‐ how do you stop people from asking inflammatory questions?"

#1 What I couldn’t figure out how to do — and we still haven’t figured it out – how do you stop people from asking inflammatory questions?”

What's wrong with asking inflammatory questions? You might just get at the truth.

The Dems use lying like a cudgel. The truth is much easier. It doesn't require a cover-up.

#2 Nobody believed Christine Blasley Ford either. But they acted like they believed her and voted against Kavanaugh. Same thing with Biden, Hill and Thomas. It's the Big Lie. It's the Democrat way.
