Alyssa Milano: Biden Told Me He ‘Deeply Regrets’ What Happened to Anita Hill

‘— always being a supporter of the women’s right to choose and fighting for women to be on the Judiciary Committee after Anita Hill’

MILANO: “I definitely think there’s a distinct line between the indiscretions of President Trump, which go beyond just his accusations of sexual assault, and obviously, if Joe Biden makes it on the ticket, Joe Biden’s indiscretions of being overly affectionate. But I also want to talk a little bit about Anita Hill and really just say that I know this is an issue that has come up for Democrats how Vice President had maybe handled that situation. And I can also tell you from my conversations with him, he deeply regrets what happened. He has dedicated much of his career, and I think we can’t look at his past myopically, we really have to look at the big picture with co-authoring the Violence Against Women’s Acts, starting It's On Us, always being a supporter of the women’s right to choose and women's rights in general. And fighting for women to be on the Judiciary Committee after Anita Hill. These are all things that are incredibly important to Vice President Biden and I think it’s important that we discuss it and get it out on the table. But none of this, I think, if the country chooses that Joe Biden should be the Democratic nominee should stop Joe Biden from being that nominee.”
