Justice Clarence Thomas condemned his treatment by the Joe Biden-led Judiciary Committee during his confirmation to the Supreme Court in 1991.
Thomas, 71, was featured in a yet-to-be-released documentary in which he describes his chaotic confirmation to the court amid allegations from Anita Hill that he had sexually harassed her prior to his nomination. The justice denied ever sexually harassing anyone, but Hill’s accusations became the focus of his confirmation, similar to the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Thomas claimed he was targeted with the allegations because of his conservative views on abortion.
He told the filmmakers, “Do I have like stupid written on the back of my shirt? I mean come on. We know what this is all about. People should just tell the truth: 'This is the wrong black guy; he has to be destroyed.' Just say it. Then now we're at least honest with each other. The idea was to get rid of me. And then, after I was there, it was to undermine me."

Bite me is a joke and a clown...
The fact that Joe is not getting the coveted Obama endorsement speaks volumes; and then the quote "Biden doesn't have it" (the Obama charm). Let's face it, even the DNC is shaking in their boots, fund raising is sub par and none of the 2020 candidates are palatable. The 16 or so who are not moving the needle need to call it a campaign since they are only a distraction. Warren is toast over her lying, Bernie looks like he would better be suited in a movie as a mad scientist (with his lap dummy AOC), Buttigege (sp) is surging but will flame out, and Joe...is Joe.
