In reply to the discussion: Lara Bazelon Tweet on Joe Biden [View all]jcgoldie
(12,046 posts)44. I dont care about Lara Bazelon but the New Yorker article she linked is a problem for Biden
I realize the article is from April but I did not realize that he still refused to take more responsibility for his actions in the Senate as regards Anita Hill. Anyone with a long political history as Biden is bound to have some missteps. In my opinion that one looks particularly egregious especially in light of the recent Kavanaugh hearings. Joe needs a better explanation or a more convincing mea culpa I don't know which. I'm sure this draw the ire of the Biden folks, but I do feel this issue is a lot more problematic for Joe than his stance on bussing in the 1970s.

primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
