Former Vice President Joe Biden has said he takes responsibility for the way Anita Hill was treated days after she expressed dissatisfaction with his apology.
Biden said during a Good Morning America interview set to air on Tuesday, "As the committee chairman, I take responsibility that [Hill] did not get treated well. I take responsibility for that." He also said that he "apologized" for this and that "I apologize again because, look, here's the deal. She just did not get treated fair across the board. The system did not work."
Prior to this Good Morning America interview, Biden faced questions about the Hill hearings during a Friday appearance on The View, saying that he was "sorry" she was "treated the way she was treated" but arguing he "did everything in my power" and still isn't sure how he could have stopped "inflammatory questions."
