Appearing, inevitably, on "The View ,"
"Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. sat down … for his first extended interview since announcing his third run for president. The show, hosted by an all-female panel, was an interesting choice of venue [it was?]…. Mr. Biden entered the race weeks after several women came forward to say his interactions with them had made them uncomfortable, and he is facing a fresh round of criticism for his treatment of Anita Hill during the 1991 confirmation hearings of Justice Clarence Thomas.
"Responding to the hosts’ questions about Ms. Hill, Mr. Biden said, 'I’m sorry she was treated the way she was treated.' And pressed to apologize for his physical interactions with women, he offered, 'I’m sorry I invaded your space.'"
You will note he answered the first question, about Hill, in the passive voice, and in the active voice to the second. The man knows what he's doing.
Mistakes were made.
