Anita Hill Essentially Duped By Political Forces.

message for Anita Hill.Thomas has called Hill a “mediocre employee” who was essentially duped by political forces.

I happen to believe that Anita Hill told the truth. After all her testimony, “[w]as the result of reports from friends and acquaintances who learned of the harassment when it occurred. Professor Hill only came forward to testify after she was interviewed and heavily lobbied by investigators from the FBI and staff of the Senate Judiciary Committee.”

But even if you believe that Anita Hill lied, you have to recognize that this situation may never be resolved. It is much more likely that the Hill-Thomas controversy will continue orbiting the same surreal territory of other sex scandals.

The larger question is why can’t Justice and Mrs. Thomas let this go? Inquiring minds want to know.
