Former Romney supporter falsely claims Biden supported Clarence Thomas

 Fox News:

The Hill was forced to make an embarrassing correction this week to a piece quoting a Lincoln Project adviser who was apparently unaware of one of President Biden's most famous positions in the U.S. Senate.

In the Wednesday piece, The Hill quoted liberal pundit Stuart Stevens, who falsely claimed that then-Senator Biden voted to confirm now-Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas during the latter's stormy 1991 confirmation process.
...

"I think there's a resentment towards Biden … A lot of what drives the Republican Party is fear, and they feel isolated. They see Biden, who should be with them. He's a race traitor. He's a guy who has supported conservatives, he was for [Supreme Court Justice] Clarence Thomas. You were with us once and now you've gone over," The Hill quoted Stevens as saying.

Biden was, in fact, one of 48 nay votes on Thomas's confirmation following a contentious hearing process that included sexual harassment allegations by Anita Hill.

In that process, Biden, who was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time, presided over the hearings and has faced sharp criticism from the left for his handling of them.

Steven's false claim was removed in the updated piece, with his other comments remaining. Stevens was also described as a "prominent GOP consultant," although his last prominent assignment was in 2012 on Mitt Romney's presidential campaign and he now openly supports Democrats.

Stevens seems to have a short-term memory problem.  Biden's disgraceful performance at the Thomas hearings is hard to forget.  It set the standard for other bad faith hearings by Democrats on GOP nominees for the court.
