Anita Hill empathizes with ‘irritatingly familiar’ insults against Harris in op-ed

Professor who was impugned for allegations against Clarence Thomas says the sexist, racist remarks ‘must sting’

Anita Hill, former clerk to US supreme court justice Clarence Thomas, has said “racist, misogynist and sexist insults” aimed at Kamala Harris “must sting”.

In a New York Times opinion piece published Monday, the Brandeis University professor who was famously brought before Thomas’s confirmation hearings only to have her sexual harassment allegations against him picked apart by sitting senators, wrote that she sympathizes with the US vice-president.
