Shut the FUCK up, Uncle Joe.
Stop being a pansy-ass bitch and fucking do your job.
Your job does not involve your wistful fantasies about ~what could have been~.
How about instead, you apologize for shielding Clarence Thomas from public reckoning on the sexual harassment allegations made by Anita Hill when you were head of the Judiciary Committee during Thomas’ Supreme Court confirmation hearings?
Y’know, the real reason you didn’t run for president?
That would do us all a lot of good.

Articulating the Popular Rage 
The confirmation of Thomas was a shameful point in American history, but it did bring workplace harassment into a higher national profile.

It did – and the role that Uncle Joe played in it is something that is on his permanent record and demonstrates his core attitudes.
If Uncle Joe had kept up with the times and checked his male privilege sometime in the 20+ years between Thomas’ confirmation and his time in the ‘Will he run for President???’ spotlight, he’d have made a true reckoning of his past actions and given a public apology.
That he didn’t manage to do that says everything I need to know about him.
