Still ahead tonight, a change of heart why a longtime critic of joe biden now this is not just about me. Its not just about joe biden its about millions of people in this country. And in a surprising turn of events a longtime critic of joe biden says she actually wants him in the white house this coming november. You may remember it was back in 1991 that anita hill testified before the Senate Judiciary committee that then u. S. Supreme Court NomineeClarence Thomas had sexually harassed her. Biden chaired that allmale committee which question hills character and came off to many has not taking hill seriously well now she says between biden and president trump. She picks biden Gloria Borger spoke with hill and biden about their shared history. The press or the swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god. Was it scary. Ellos terrify he would call me into a soft its been nearly 30 years since anita hill testified before a now infamous Senate Judiciary hearing led by joe biden you lay out she has come to a surprising conclusion would you like to see elected in november. I think joe biden is a person who should be elected in november and thats not all would you be willing to work with him. Oh yes, my commitment is to finding solutions and i am more than willing to work with him i was very uncomfortable with the ideal became a household name testifying before the allmale committee. During the Supreme Court confirmation of Clarence Thomas judge thomas began to use work situations to discuss. Hill claimed thomas sexually harassed her when she worked for him at the equal Employment Opportunity commission. Thomas vehemently denied those accusations as a black american as far as im concerned it is a hightech lynching. He was confirmed to the Supreme Court after biden led the fight against him some say let the republicans can a takeover i dont think i did but the point was i wish i could have done it differently under the rules. In early 2019 just weeks before joe biden launched his campaign for president. Hill got a phone call. I have apologized to need to tell wish i could have done better for her. The truth is i believed her and i believed he should not be in the court. You called the phone call on satisfying it didnt take responsibility he didnt hold himself accountable. And anyway except that he was sorry that i felt i wasnt treated fairly. But hill says shes been watching the selection closely and biden seems to be taking more responsibility now. For her thats enough this is not just about me. Its not just about joe biden its about millions of people in this country and around the world that we can. Be a model for and i would love to be a part of that and if it means voting for joe biden so be it. That was Gloria Borger reporting for us tonight.
