MUST HEAR: JUDGE CLARENCE THOMAS -1991

Documenting some history, having been apolitical all my life I am finding my history lessons enlightening.

LEST WE FORGET: In 1991, Bush appointed African American Judge Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. Joe Biden, then a Senator, carried out a number of personal attacks on him, treating him as a gay and rapist in order to evade his Senate approval.

Justice Clarence Thomas is joining public criticism of Joe Biden whose handling of Thomas' 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearings when he was a senator has been a flash point in the former vice president's 2020 presidential campaign.

Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words," Thomas lashes out at Democrats and Biden, who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee and oversaw his confirmation process.

"I felt as though in my life I had been looking at the wrong people as the people who would be problematic toward me. We were told that, 'Oh, it's gonna be the bigot in the pickup truck; it's gonna be the Klansmen; it's gonna be the rural sheriff,'" Thomas says in the film.

"But it turned out that through all of that, ultimately the biggest impediment was the modern day liberal," he said of the experience. "They were the ones who would discount all those things because they have one issue or because they have the power to caricature you."
