Yes. People make mistakes. Has he ever apologized and admitted that it was a mistake? And asked Ms. Hill for forgiveness?

(7,633 posts)What the hell was wrong with Biden with his line of questions? He was asking for totally unnecessary salacious details making professor Hill uncomfortable and subjecting her family to it. I had never seen it before and had no idea how mysoginistic men were then. Even Democrats. If Biden was that rude, I shudder to think what repubs were back then.
