There was talk about Anita Hill early on, but you scratch the surface and it's even worse: He shit on Anita Hill in order replace Thurgood Marshall, an American hero and icon, with Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court. He shit on Anita Hill in order to fill the Supreme Court's "black seat" with an unqualified hack, in a racist parody of affirmative action.

There's some "vetting" I'd like to hear people talking about......

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
