Sensing an opportunity for newfound relevance, Anita Hill has been doing the rounds in media as a subject matter expert on the Brett Kavanaugh allegation, hoping a new generation too young to know and faded memories of others will gloss over why her own accusations were not seen as credible in 1991.

Hill, the law professor who accused then-Supreme Court justice nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment says she got a raw deal when she testified against him over 25 years ago.

“The reluctance of someone to come forward demonstrates that even in the #MeToo era, it remains incredibly difficult to report harassment, abuse or assault by people in power,” she said in a statement to The Daily Beast, referencing the 35-year old sexual misconduct accusation bandied against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford.

If I remember correctly, after one year, the verdict was the reverse. The media had hammered the issue so hard that more of the public believed Anita Hill one year later.

Disgusting.

Didn’t we learn back then that Anita Hill petitioned Clarence Thomas for, and accepted one or two subsequent jobs with him after he supposedly harassed her? Whatever happened between them (if anything) must not have been that terrible if she kept following along after him as he changed jobs.

Anita Hill can go pound sand on a tropical island with all the money she made off the reputation shredding she attempted on Justice Thomas. Liar Liar.

Easy solution. Have 100% proof that your story is true Even 40% gives it a fighting chance. Like the good Judge Moore case. Making things at of thin air won’t work and you won’t be rewarded unless ‘pre-arrangements’ are made.

Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford are two of the most disgusting females on this planet who need to go out and buy a bunch of female sex toys to satisfy their twisted view of the world around them.

Go away Anita. You had your 15 minutes. 1991 was a long time ago.
