    I keep asking this, but is this the way they want to go out? I mean, it’s a rhetorical question, of course, but it blows my mind that they want to be this destructive and self-destructive.

    No, Jill. It’s time for your husband to “move on.” Move the hell on, already. And when you’ve moved on as far as you think you should...keep moving.

    Don’t make us hate you, too, Jill.

      Too late, she is complicit with her bullshit.

      Fuck her.

    The fact that Joe Biden himself said he’s not sorry for being himself is basically how he and any other White male will run for President. They will not offer anything substantial, they will continue to muster empty promises, and will fight to the bone to keep the status quo. And the American voter is told we’re to be comfortable about this, when satire keeps saying “empty promises lol”.

    We can’t move on, because “normalcy” is definitely not progress.

      People like Harris, Booker and Gillibrand aren’t exactly transformative candidates.

      Compared to Joe Biden? Please. How old were Harris, Booker and Gillibrand the first time Joe ran for pres?

    Sadly, if the latest polls are correct, Biden is getting top ranking from black women (and black folk in general), which really indicates the desperation to defeat Trump by any means necessary; and also the link between Biden & President Obama. Kamala & Cory just ain’t measuring up for obvious reasons.

    Now if only Stacey Abrams had better advisers, it would make things so much easier.

      I suspect that’s the Obama-Biden link you mentioned. The more “Uncle Joe” is out there spewing his BS, the more those numbers will drop. (fingers crossed).

      I would vote for Stacy Abrams for President. I would also work to get her elected!

    And, BTW, we already have a president who is deathly allergic to ever apologizing for anything. We don’t need another one. This is entirely the wrong trait we wouldn’t be be elevating right now.

    IonizedDare said it below, this should be one of the easiest rote answers he should be able to come up with. And he won’t - I didn’t say can’t, because it’s a choice given how easy this is - do that.

    I mean, he didn’t start it, but Trump made it acceptable to pretend like you don’t need to know the difference between apologizing and atonemen, that sometimes you’ll have to apologize more than once to reach full atonement. We don’t need someone who doesn’t get that or pretends he or she doesn’t get that.  This is disqualifying from a character perspective as far as I’m concerned.  It reveals a character filled with obstinance and cowardice.

      Apology is an acknowledgement.; atonement is a reparation.. I go further to suggest he can apologize a million times but it is meaningless without atonement. Atonement is where we find if the apology is sincere.

      Calling Anita Hill the week you announce your candidacy to make sure she won’t get in the way is not an apology (regardless of what words he used) and Anita asked “where’s the atonement”.

      And by the way Catholicism (Biden’s faith) embraces and teaches the requirement for both apology and atonement everywhere/always (as in “required to get into heaven”) so it can’tbe said he is not aware of these concepts.

    It’s as if no one bothered to even listen to a word that Anita Hill said - then or now. How hard can it be to just listen?

      Very hard if you’re not truly an empathetic person. That’s what his foot dragging on this is revealing.

    What is this woman talking about? This should be one of the easiest apologies to make precisely because so much time has passed that everyone has moved on with their life. If ever you needed proof that people who invade your personal space are full of bullshit when they say it’s because they’re warm and compassionate instead of arrogant and oblivious, here it is.

    An apology now would be about showing her- and us- how much he’s grown as a person. He has absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by saying he deeply regrets not having been an ally to Ms Hill and her witnesses so many years later but he can’t even bring himself to judge the man he was then clearly enough to make it. Heaven forbid he accept that he completely dropped the ball during those hearings and feel as uncomfortable as he made her feel during one lousy statement.

    And just you wait- his wife is one news cycle away from saying he’s the victim here.

      I think part of it is he knows if he apologizes for this he’ll have to apologize for a long list of shitty, racist things he did throughout his career and that’s just going to remind everyone that he’s actually kind of awful.

      That’s a specious “slippery slope arguments.” Because, guess what? We’re going to ask him to apologize for that shit, anyway, as any voter should.

      I’m really tired of this argument. It’s exactly why Trump never apologized for anything. It’s not a better path, and I certainly don’t want our candidates subscribing to this bullshit theory.

    Jill Biden has always been so fucken annoying. Imagine if Anita Hill was a white woman... (oh lawd)

    I see that good ol’joe has told his old lady to do PR for him, since he can barely do it himself. Apparently he is courting black voters this election cycle (as oppose to the 2 other times he ran) and counting on their vote.

    NPR broke this story at 5:00 am ET. In that time, from what I can find, only The Root and Fox News has covered this story. This despite the topic trending on Twitter for a good portion of the day. Don’t let the mainstream media who has handpicked Joe Biden to be the nominee bury this important story.
