Elderly dad from what happened there in the room. The most difficult part, my parents were in my mother turned 80 on the day of the vote to confirm Clarence Thomas, and i believed the difficult part was to watch my parents who were elderly people, who had lived good lives and raised their children and to be honest and truthful and hardworking and all of the things that we want parents to do for their child n children. To watch them go through it, the sense that they felt that they couldnt protect me from it, and i think it was really hard on them. It undermined their confidence in whether or not the government truly represented them. And for an African American family, those kinds of questions have existed. And to have it personalized i think was really difficult, but i have to say they were so strong and so wonderful and so supportive, and they never wavered. And so but it was still hard for me to watch them go through that and know that i couldnt protect from the feelings that they h

He also caused girls to be inebriated or drugged so they could be gang
