Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, called Anita Hill and asked her to apologize for her testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee back in October 1991.
A recap:
Anita Hill’s opening statement (WARNING: Graphic content)
If you wish to watch Clarence Thomas’s Second Hearing and Anita Hill’s entire testimony, please click here.
Amazing what you can find on the internet.
Anyways…
Does this make any sense?
We would not be at this point if then-Judge Thomas did not do what he did in his law office with placing the pubic hair on the Coke can, describing his sexual powers, and expressing his interest in films featuring the “actor” Long Dong Silver.
When the story broke about the apology, it appears there is another woman that experienced this type of behavior before Ms. Hill spoke up.
It seems backwards to any normal thinking person that Ms. Hill should apologize for what Mrs. Thomas’s husband did.
After all it was her husband, not Ms. Hill, who displayed inappropriate behavior and nearly derailed his judicial career.
