Reuters Joe Biden recalled the Anita Hill hearing as he weighed in on the sexual assault accusations facing Brett Kavanaugh. Former Vice President Joe Biden said the claims of assault leveled against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh bring “back all of the complicated issues that were there” in 1991 when Anita Hill accused then-federal judge Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment, reported The Washington Post. “I thought she was telling the truth at the beginning,” Biden said, according to the Post. “I really did.”Biden added that any woman’s public allegation of sexual assault should generally be presumed to be true. “But nobody fails to understand that this is like jumping into a cauldron.”According to the Post’s Philip Rucker, there was one question about Kavanaugh’s alleged assault that Biden appeared unwilling to answer.
