Joe Biden’s ‘white men’s culture’ speech wasn’t all bad

Upon further review, Joe Biden was more on target than you might think in the major speech he gave Tuesday evening. His main point was that we all must “change the culture” that allows or encourages women to be victimized by sexual assault. Cutting through a lot of typically Bidenesque effluvia, the former vice president is right at least on that point.

First, though, it’s important to clean up the effluvia, because there’s no shortage. Earlier, I criticized Biden for furthering the myth that law professor Anita Hill had been wronged when a Senate committee investigated her 1991 claims that Supreme Court then-nominee Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed her. Facts matter, and Biden was pushing a false narrative.
